Product Description and Specification
Product description
Roth Vipanel® is a composite aluminium wallpanel with two layers of 0.2 mm facing LDPE type polyethylene core. The Roth Vipanel® can be worked with normal tools and machines.
Roth Vipanel® has the ability to be mounted edge-to-edge and to make both inside and outside corners with or without the use of aluminium profiles. Installing the Roth Vipanel® without the use of profiles gives the appearance of almost invisible connections. It is not recommended to install glossy wallpanels without profiles.

LCA: Calculation rules
Declared unit
1 m² Roth Vipanel® Bulk
Cut-off criteria
All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production processes for raw materials and energy flows with very small amounts (less than 1%) are not included when specific information are missing. These cut-off criteria do not apply for hazardous materials and substances.
Allocation
The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804. Incoming energy and water and waste production in-house is allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. Effects of primary production of recycled materials is allocated to the main product in which the material was used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to this analysis.
Data quality
Specific data for the product composition are provided by the manufacturer. They represent the production of the declared product and were collected for EPD development in the year of study. Background data is based on registered EPDs according to EN 15804, Ostfold Research databases, ecoinvent and other LCA databases. The data quality of the raw materials in A1 is presented in the table below.

System boundary explanation
Module A1: Packaging has been included by average use of packaging pr. 1 m² of product.
Module A4: The transportation distances provided in this EPD are derived from precise data concerning the distances between production facility and various sales departments in different countries. Distribution from each of the sales departments to the end customers a distance of 300 km* is assumed.
*Transportation by truck is assumed on a distribution of 80% EURO 6 and 20% EURO 5, based on data from the company's own logistics provider.
Module A5/C1: Manual installation and demolition has been assumed.
Module C2: The estimated transportation distance to the waste handling facility in this EPD is 100 km, assuming the use of a truck as the transport method.

1. The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experienced with the indicator
2. This 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.
