Ownership and limitation on use of EPD
Limitations
EPDs within the same product category but registered in different EPD programmes may not be comparable. For two EPDs to be comparable, they shall be based on the same PCR (including the same version number up to the first two digits) or be based on fully-aligned PCRs or versions of PCRs; cover products with identical functions, technical performances and use (e.g. identical declared/functional units); have equivalent system boundaries and descriptions of data; apply equivalent data quality requirements, methods of data collection, and allocation methods; apply identical cut-off rules and impact assessment methods (including the same version of characterisation factors); have equivalent content declarations; and be valid at the time of comparison.
Ownership
The EPD Owner has the sole ownership, liability, and responsibility for the EPD.

|---|---|
| Product identification | UN CPC class 4219, Metal Structural Ceiling product |
| Product description | Tate Grid is pre-engineered, and factory produced structural ceilings capable of directly supporting cable trays, utilities, light fixtures, HVAC registers and other accessories as indicated per area of work. High strength and performance with the ability to suspend a uniform load of 2.4kN/m2. Continuously threaded M10 bottom slot to allow multiple containment configurations. This LCA is based on a 1200mm x 600mm configuration. The Tate Grid structural ceiling belongs to the UN CPC class 4219. This LCA describes a specific product, with no consideration of different sizes or configurations. |
| Technical purpose of product | Tate Grid is pre-engineered and factory produced structural ceilings capable of directly supporting cable trays, utilities, light fixtures, HVAC registers and other accessories as indicated per area of work. High strength and performance with the ability to suspend a uniform load of 2.4kN/m2. Continuously threaded M10 bottom slot to allow multiple containment configurations. |
| Manufacturing or service provision description | Tate purchases parts from their suppliers. The parts are cut at Tate’s facilities in Pennsylvania. The parts for the Grid are sawed to the appropriate size. Then, the parts are notched by a notching machine. The total electricity needed for Grid is 0.09 kWh/m2. Tate’s facility does not have submetering on the machinery that is used. The electricity use is based on the power of each machine and the amount of aluminum processed. No other energy inputs, like water, diesel or natural gas are used in the production of these structural ceilings. The production process does not result in any direct emissions to air, soil or water. The facility has solar panels for the production of renewable electricity, which produce 22% of the total energy used by Tate. The electricity is modeled with 22% photovoltaic panels (0.069 kg CO2-eq./kWh) and 78% RFC grid mix without renewable energy (0.572 kg CO2-eq./kWh). The scrap from the production process is not production waste, but a co-product (see PCR2019:14 v1.3.1). The scraps value and its revenue is negligible, compared to the revenue generated by the Grid. Therefore, no environmental burden (or benefit) was allocated to the scrap that leaves the product system in A3. All environmental burdens in A3 were allocated to the primary product under study. |

| Additional information about the underlying LCA-based information | Pre-consumer scrap, leaving the product system from modules A1-A3, shall be allocated as a co-product. Scrap entering a product system shall come with an environmental burden if it originated from modules A1-A3 of a previous product system, and the calculation of this burden shall be based on co-product allocation. However, if the pre-consumer scrap has zero or negative value, it will not be allocated any environmental burden even if co-product allocation is applied (PCR 2019:14 v1.3.1) |
| Version of the EN 15804 reference package | EF Reference Package 3.1 |
| Characterisation methods | All identified environmental interventions have been translated into environmental effects. Direct emissions from the inventory are all characterized with TRACI [29], as described in the ISO 21930 via the characterization methods of CML [10], IPCC [9], WMO [13], Heijungs et al. [10], Hauschild and Wenzel [11] and Goedkoop et al. [12]. In addition, the impact categories as listed in the EN 15804:2012+A2:2019/AC:2021 are characterized with characterization methods from IPCC [9], WMO [13], van Oers [12], Seppälä et al.

[22], Frischknecht et al. [23], Usetox v2 [24] and LANCA [25]. The impact category GWP-GHG, as required by the PCR 2019:14, is calculated with the characterization factors as described in EF 3.0, while biogenic CO2 has a characterization factor of 0 as described in the PCR 2019:14. |
| Technology description including background system | The EPD describes the Tate Grid, a structural ceiling made of extruded aluminum (with 30.5% recycled content). It's packaging materials are considered as well. The aluminum is sawed and notched at the production site. The construction stage considers the average transport of the product in the US market, as well as the average energy use for installation. The steel and aluminum installation materials are also considered in the construction stage. There are no known emissions in the use stage. The end-of-life stage is based on average data of the US market. |

| Disclaimer 1 | The GWP-GHG indicator is termed GWP-IOBC/GHG in the ILCD+EPD+ data format. The indicator accounts for all greenhouse gases except biogenic carbon dioxide uptake and emissions and biogenic carbon stored in the product. As such, the indicator is identical to GWP-total except that the CF for biogenic CO2 is set to zero. | ||||||||||||||||
