Use advice for data set The studied system boundary was cradle to gate with options, modules C1–C4 and module D (A1–A3, A4, A5, C1-C4 and D). The studied system covers the following steps of life cycle according to EN 15804: A1 Raw material supply, A2 Transport, A3 Manufacturing, A4 Transport to building, A5 Installation to building, C1 Deconstruction, C2 Transportation of end-of-life C3 Waste processing and C4 Disposal. The benefits and loads beyond the system boundary are included to stage D, which consists of product reuse, recovery and recycling:

General comment Allocation rules used are made according to the ISO14044:2006. Allocation is avoided when possible and when necessary, allocation is made based on physicalshares and also avoiding double calculations. Allocation is required if the production process produces more than one product and the flows of materials, energy and waste cannot be separately measured for the studied product. Allocation used in generic data sources follows the requirements of the EN 15804 -standard. It should be noticed that the allocation method “allocation, cut-off by classification” has been used for Ecoinvent 3.10 data, which complies with EN 15804. Avoiding allocation could not be avoided for following inputs as the information was only measured on factory process level. • Electricity: only measured on factory level. • District heating: only measured on factory level. • Fuels: only measured on factory level. • Production waste flows: only measured on factory level. • Production water consumption: not consumed in processes • Packaging materials: only measured on factory level. • Ancillary materials: only measured on factory level. According to EN 15804, flows leaving the system at the end-of-waste boundary of the product stage (A1-A3) are allocated as co-products. According to EN 15804, process that has a very low contribution to the overall revenue may be neglected in co-product allocation. Materials sent for recycling or energy recovery from manufacturing were not allocated, as it was estimated that their contribution to the overall revenue is very marginal. No other allocations were made in this assessment. Thisstudy follows the cut-off criteria stated in RTS PCR and EN 15804 -standard. This study does not exclude any modules or processes which represent more than 1 % of the emissions of studied life cycle stage. The study does not exclude any hazardous materials or substances. Excluded processes and the criteria for exclusion are given in following table. Machines and facilities (capital goods) required for and during production are excluded, as is transportation of employees.

Technical purpose Riikku Horizontally supported railing solution is made of glass and aluminum. It is mainly used on balconies of apartments or other public spaces and walkways. It can be used for new construction and renovation projects. Horizontally supported railing is fastened to balcony walls from the ends of the handrail. Lower glass frame can be fastened to edge or on the top of balcony slap. Generally, at least one support post is needed to meet the regulations. However, the number of posts can be greater depending on the length of the railing and environmental conditions. The glass used is primarily tempered and laminated 4+4 mm glass or 5+5 mm glass. Cladding in this system is always on the outside of the supporting posts. The Riikku balcony glazing can be installed on top of the railing, creating a completely glazed balcony. The railing features a frame made of aluminum, with glass as the main cladding. The railing posts are supported to the balcony slab either from its edge or on top of the slab, depending on the chosen design. The spacing between the posts is primarily 400-1200 mm which are influenced by facade design, environmental conditions, and existing regulations. The glass used is primarily tempered and laminated 4+4 mm glass or 5+5 mm glass. The railing can be implemented with cladding on either the outer or inner side of the posts. The Riikku balcony glazing can be installed on top of the railing, creating a completely glazed balcony.
