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 information
Product name | Seamless flux cored wire |
---|---|
Product identification | SF, SM, SX, CF, ABREX series |
Product description | Seamless flux cored wires from NIPPON STEEL WELDING & ENGINEERING are applied to joining a wide range of carbon steel alloys and comply with numerous standards worldwide. Seamless flux cored wire has high moisture absorption resistance, and its typical segment is general construction work. There is a variety of diameters, spools and drums produced dedicated to different applications and welding processes. |
Product information from external sources | https://www.weld.nipponsteel.com/en/ |
Technical purpose of product | This product is used to join two or more steel materials together to create a continuous connection. In addition, the scope of application is wide-ranging, including general structures, ships, and bridges. |
Manufacturing or service provision description | Seamless flux-cored wires are manufactured starting from a hot-rolled steel strip and a mixture of different metallic or mineral powders in a precise ratio and percentage that ensures the product's mechanical and operational performance properties. The powders are mixed together at the beginning of the process to produce a homogeneous flux. The steel strip is then filled with flux at the proper filling rate and formed into a pipe shape. Then, with a drawing step, the diameter of the pipe filled with the flux is gradually reduced to the final wire diameter. Copper plating is also applied before reaching the final diameter. Finally, customizing is done by spooling on different spool types or drums. |

Excluded modules | Yes, there is an excluded module, or there are excluded modules |
Justification for the omission of modules | At the end-of-life stage, the product cannot be separated from the bearer material it has been welded onto, and the used product does not contain biogenic carbon. Therefore, for the scope of the study, A1-A3 has been chosen following Section 2.2.2 in PCR 2019:14. Module A5 has been added solely to balance out biogenic carbon in the packaging. |
