Product Description
Side Door NT3: 1-leafed elements, similar to garage doors with steel or aluminum infill. Frame made of galvanized square tube (84x60 mm), powder-coated. Standard finish in white aluminum (RAL 9006). Available in various colors. Equipped with standard handle, PZ-lock, and black plastic escutcheons. The door is not motorized.
Side Door NT500: 1-leafed elements, similar to garage swing gates with steel or aluminum infill. Frame made of galvanized square tube (60x60 mm), powder-coated. Standard finish in traffic white (RAL 9016). Available in various colors. Equipped with standard handle, PZ-lock, and 3D aluminum hinges.
Sports Hall Gate SP500 fit: Designed for sports and multi-purpose halls, meeting safety regulations for schools (GUV-V S 1). The gate leaf is ball-impact resistant according to DIN 18032-3.
Life Cycle Assessment (Ökobilanz)
The Ökobilanz (Life Cycle Assessment) calculates the environmental impacts of the products throughout their life cycle, from cradle to gate with options, and considering upstream processes.
The LCA was conducted using the software system "LCA for Experts" (Version 10.9.0.20) with the database version 2025.1, applying the EF3.1 impact assessment method.
Material Composition
The primary materials used in the products include:
- Galvanized steel profiles (approx. 68-71%)
- Galvanized steel sheets (approx. 10-22%)
- Aluminum (sheet) (approx. 12%)
- EPDM sealing (approx. 4.7-5.1%)
- Powder coating (approx. 1.6-2.0%)
Packaging materials include PE foil, cardboard, and wood.
Environmental Impact Indicators
The EPD quantifies environmental impacts across various categories, including:
- Global Warming Potential (GWP) - total, fossil, biogenic, land use change
- Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)
- Acidification Potential (AP)
- Eutrophication Potential (EP) - freshwater, marine, terrestrial
- Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential (POCP)
- Abiotic Depletion Potential (ADPF, ADPE)
- Water Use (WDP)
Detailed data for each life cycle stage (A1-A5, B1-B7, C1-C4, D) is provided in extensive tables within the original document.
Life Cycle Stages Considered
The assessment covers the following life cycle stages:
- Manufacturing Phase (A1-A3): Raw material supply, transport, and manufacturing.
- Construction Phase (A4-A5): Transport to site and installation.
- Use Phase (B1-B7): Operation, maintenance, repair, replacement, and refurbishment.
- End-of-Life Phase (C1-C4): Deconstruction, transport, waste treatment, and disposal.
- Benefits and Loads Beyond the System Boundary (D): Recycling potential and credits.
The diagrams on pages 23-24 visually represent the percentage contribution of these modules to key environmental indicators for each product type.
Key Findings and Data
The primary contributors to environmental impacts are the use of aluminum and steel components, as well as the electrical energy required for manufacturing. Packaging materials also play a role.
Recycling of aluminum and steel scrap can lead to credits (Module D) representing approximately 4% of the life cycle environmental impacts.
The document includes detailed tables (pages 16-21) presenting the quantitative results for each environmental indicator across all life cycle stages for Nebentür NT3, Nebentür NT500, and Sporthallentor SP500.
General Information and Verification
This EPD is comparable with other EPDs that comply with EN 15804, provided building context and boundary conditions are considered.
The declaration has undergone independent external verification by a third-party expert, Patrick Wortner.
