General requirements and guidelines concerning use of generic and specific data and the quality of those are as described in EN 15804: 2012, clause 6.3.6 and 6.3.7. The data is representative according to temporal, geographical and technological requirements.

Temporal: Data for use in modules A1-A2 has been collected throughout 2013. Generic data has been created or updated within the last 10 years.

Geographical: The geographic region of the production sites included in the calculation is Europe.

Technological: Data represents technology in use.

All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production process for raw materials and energy flows that are included with very small amounts (<1%) are not included. This cut-off rule does not apply for hazardous materials and substances.

No allocation necessary in this study.

AP

Module D is calculated as a scenario in which the net new steel scrap received in Module D is given an environmental burden. This burden is subtracted from this system as a credit, representing the environmental benefit from recycling the steel structure at its end of life. Including Module D will therefore show the total environmental performance of the product for the whole life cycle.

boundaries

The impacts generated due to the life cycle stages described in the system boundaries below are calculated using the GaBi 6 Professional  

LCA‐software. The impact assessment methodology used is ReCiPe. Exceptions are for the ADP‐elements and ADP‐fossil categories, which 

according to NPCR 013 are to be derived from the CML 2001 impact assessment methodology.
