THERMALLY MODIFIED HARDWOOD WITH SURFACE COATING
Use advice for data set This EPD covers cradle to gate with options, modules C1–C4 and module D scope with the following modules; A1 (Raw material supply). A2 (Transport) and A3 (Manufacturing). A4 (Transport). A5 (Assembly) as well as C1 (Deconstruction). C2 (Transport at end-of-life). C3 (Waste processing) and C4 (Disposal). In addition. module D - benefits and loads beyond the system boundary is included.
Technical purpose of product or process Thermory timber boards with thermal modification treatment. No chemicals are used in the process or added to the products during thermal modification treatment. Dark colour and biological durability are achieved through prolonged presence of the products to elevated temperatures. Product 1 - thermally modified hardwood without surface coating Product 2 - thermally modified softwood without surface coating Product 3 - thermally modified hardwood with surface coating Product 4 - thermally modified softwood with surface coating PRODUCT APPLICATION Boards treated thermally in order to achieve extended biological durability can be used indoors as well as outdoors in contact to weather elements such as rain and sunshine. Decking and cladding are most common applications. Surface painting can be applied to cladding and oiling to decking or cladding as options. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Thermally modified solid timber from various species. Heartwood, sapwood and knots may be present in the final board. Board colour has homogenously turned darker and durability against biological attack has risen.
General comment on data set Allocation is required if some material, energy, and waste data cannot be measured separately for the product under investigation. In this study, as per EN 15804, allocation is conducted in the following order; 1. Allocation should be avoided. 2. Allocation should be based on physical properties (e.g. mass, volume) when the difference in revenue is small. 3. Allocation should be based on economic values. Module A1 includes allocation for co-products. Allocation has been done based on economic values as the revenue of Products and co-products differs greatly. Allocation used in Ecoinvent 3.6 environmental data sources follows the methodology ‘allocation, cut-off by classification’, This methodology is in line with the requirements of EN 15804. CUT-OFF CRITERIA The study does not exclude any modules or processes which are stated mandatory in the EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 and the applied PCR. The study does not exclude any hazardous materials or substances. The study includes all major raw material and energy consumption. All inputs and outputs of the unit processes, for which data is available for, are included in the calculation. There is no neglected unit process more than 1% of total mass or energy flows. The module specific total neglected input and output flows also do not exceed 5% of energy usage or mass. Cut off has only been applied in A5 to exclude fasteners.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
