Ownership and limitation on use of EPD
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
The EPD Owner has the sole ownership, liability, and responsibility for the EPD.

| The share of primary data is calculated based on GWP-GHG results. It is a simplified indicator for data quality that supports the use of more primary data to increase the representativeness of and comparability between EPDs. Note that the indicator does not capture all relevant aspects of data quality and is not comparable across product categories. | |||||
| Comment on the data sources and other information in the table | Primary operational data cover the 2025 production year for INSEE Mortar 11 General Plastering Mortar at the INSEE Mortar production site and were used for modules A1–A3. Secondary data for electricity generation, fuels, transport processes, packaging and upstream raw materials were sourced from the GCCA Industry EPD Tool v5.2 databases. The combination of primary and secondary datasets represents 100% of the processes contributing to the A1–A3 GWP-GHG results. |

| Method used to calculate residual electricity mix | Electricity consumption was modelled using the Thailand national grid electricity dataset available in GCCA Industry EPD Tool v5.2. No contractual instruments (e.g. I-RECs, PPAs, green tariffs or supplier-specific renewable electricity claims) were applied. Therefore, a residual mix calculation was not required. |

System boundary
| Description of the system boundary | d) Cradle to gate (A1-A3). |
|---|---|
| Excluded modules | Yes, there is an excluded module, or there are excluded modules |
| Justification for the omission of modules | The EPD is reported as cradle-to-gate (A1–A3) because the environmental impacts under the direct control of the manufacturer are captured completely within the product stage, while downstream stages depend on project-specific installation, use and end-of-life scenarios that cannot be defined representatively for all applications of the dry mortar. |

Description of the process flow diagram(s)
Dry mix mortar is mixed from the raw materials at a dry batch plant. Raw materials supply considers the extraction and processing of raw materials and the associated energy that is produced prior to manufacturing mortar. Transport includes the transport of the different raw materials from the supplier to the dry mortar plant. Fine aggregates are transported by 16 ton trucks with average distance of 7 km. Bulk cement delivery distance is 6 km. Manufacturing module includes the consumption of energy during the mortar manufacturing process, as well as the transport.

Default scenario
| Name of the default scenario | Cradle-to-gate scenario |
|---|---|
| Description of the default scenario | The default scenario represents the cradle-to-gate production of mortar products in Thailand, based on site-specific primary data collected at the Saraburi mortar plant for the reference year 2025.. The declared system boundary covers modules A1-A3. Carbonation was not included in the assessment because the EPD covers only modules A1–A3 (cradle-to-gate). Significant carbonation of cementitious materials occurs primarily during the use stage and end-of-life stages, which are outside the declared system boundary. Therefore, no carbonation-related CO₂ uptake has been accounted for in the reported environmental impacts. |
