Limitations
EPDs within the same product category but published 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 first-digit version number) 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 identical scope in terms of included life-cycle stages (unless the excluded life-cycle stage is demonstrated to be insignificant); apply identical impact assessment methods (including the same version of characterisation factors); and be valid at the time of comparison.
Ownership

Product information
| Product name | Manual Valves with low lead content |
|---|---|
| Product identification | Metal valves only non-motorized, produced with low lead content |
| Product description | Cimberio S.p.A. manufactures a comprehensive range of non-motorized brass valves designed for hydraulic, heating, and industrial applications. These manually operated valves are built from high-quality brass to ensure reliability, long lasting and resistance to corrosion. Among the key products are ball valves, check valves, and balancing valves, all engineered for straightforward and safe manual operation. Cimberio’s valves stand out for their construction and compliance with performance standards. |
| Technical purpose of product | The products are widely used in both residential and industrial systems—for potable water distribution as well as thermal fluid control—and are valued for their versatility and ease of installation. |
| Manufacturing or service provision description | The production process begins with the manufacturing of raw brass and bronze components with low lead content, which are created through casting and hot forging-operations performed by external subcontractors. Once these raw pieces are delivered, they undergo mechanical processing and are subsequently assembled with various valve components, such as handles, gaskets, balls, and fittings. Depending on the specific type of valve being produced, certain parts and components may receive additional surface treatments, including chrome plating or powder coating, to enhance durability and performance. |

Content declaration
| Content declaration of multiple products | The declared unit is defined as 1 kg of average valves with low lead content. For each material, the total quantity used in all valves was calculated and expressed as a proportion of the overall weight of the sampled valves. In this approach, each BoM contributes to the average according to both the valve’s total weight and the relative amount of each material it contains. |
|---|---|
| Hazardous and toxic substances | The product contains substances from the SVHC candidate list in concentrations exceeding 0.1% of its weight. |

Default scenario
| Name of the default scenario | Cradle-to-grave scenario with landfill of products |
|---|---|
| Description of the default scenario | The LCA study, applying a cradle-to-gate with option methodology (A1-A3, A4, A5, C1-C4 and D). B modules are excluded from the analyses since no use phase maintenance, repair or replacement and energy consumption is expected during the technical lifetime. At the end of their service life, valves are manually removed from the system and undergo a structured end-of-life process. This begins with the deconstruction phase, through the use of diesel building machine (C1: 100%), followed by the transportation of all valves to the appropriate dismantling and treatment locations (C2). All valves dismantled have been sent to the sanitary landfill (C4: 100%). Some materials, instead, are sent for incineration with energy recovery (waste from packaging sent to incineration as disposal, Module A5). |
Module A4: Transport to the building site
| Explanatory name of the default scenario in module A4 | Global transport |
|---|---|
| Brief description of the default scenario in module A4 | Destination according to clients |
| Description of the default scenario in module A4 | For module A4 the downstream national transport, the distance has been calculated using the postcode of the final Italian destination. For international shipping instead, the distance has been calculated considering the city of the final destination. It has been reproportioned the weight of each transport with the sum of total production and the raw weight of packaging |
Module A5: Installation in the building
| Explanatory name of the default scenario in module A5 | Installation |
|---|---|
| Brief description of the default scenario in module A5 | Installation in residential and industrial systems |
| Description of the default scenario in module A5 | For module A5, transport and waste disposal was considered. About the transport of packaging waste, an estimated 80 km. Since the installation is manual, a zero impact was considered. For the disposal of packaging, these have been grouped into four categories: 1. Waste paperboard; 2. Waste boxboard; 3. Waste plastic; 4. Waste wood. Most of products have been distributed in Europe (more than 80% of total distribution), so it plausible representative the EoL in Europe. |
Module C: End-of-life
| Explanatory name of the default scenario in module C | Landfill |
|---|---|
| Brief description of the default scenario in module C | Dismantling of valves |
| Description of the default scenario in module C | At the end of their service life, valves are manually removed from the system and undergo a structured end-of-life process. This begins with the deconstruction phase, through the use of diesel building machine (C1: 100%), followed by the transportation of all valves to the appropriate dismantling and treatment locations (C2). All valves dismantled have been sent to the sanitary landfill (C4: 100%). |
Reference service life
| Description of the default scenario in reference service life | Average RSL of 10 years |

Module D: Beyond product life cycle
| Explanatory name of the default scenario in module D | Module D |
|---|---|
| Brief description of the default scenario in module D | Benefits and loads of potential second life |
| Description of the default scenario in module D | In module D a substitution logic is applied ("avoided burden" approach), where benefits are calculated on the basis of the amount of recycled materials or recovered energy, assuming that they can replace virgin resources. It has been used data Eurostat to compute weight of recycled packaging |

Information related to EPDs of multiple products
| Justification for why this is representative | The results presented in this EPD represent the average environmental impacts of the family of general valves. Each valve was individually modelled, and the final results were obtained by averaging the impacts of all valves included in the study. For the modelling of each valve, Bill of Materials (BoM) data were used as the primary source for raw materials, raw material transport, and part of the outsourced processing. This approach ensured that inputs and outputs were attributed according to the specific material composition of each product, allowing for a precise and transparent allocation of environmental loads throughout the life cycle. For other life cycle aspects—such as energy consumption, product and transport packaging, waste management, transport of the finished product, and the remaining share of outsourced processing—a physical repartition strategy was applied. These inputs were distributed based on measurable parameters, specifically the mass of total production (manual and motorized valves, in kg), ensuring methodological consistency across all modules (A1–A5, C1–C4, and D). After calculating the environmental impact of each valve, the results were normalized to 1 kg of valve with low lead content, ensuring comparability among different models. The average impact was then calculated by aggregating the results of all valves included in the study. To assess the robustness and representativeness of the averaged values, a sensitivity analysis was performed by identifying, for the main impact categories, the minimum and maximum results obtained among all valves and calculating the percentage difference between them. |
