Data set use approval

General comment 2021, in the country of production, Northern Ireland. The data Quality Level, according to Table E.1 of EN 15804 +A2, Annex E, is as follows: • Geographical representativeness: Very Good. • Technical representativeness: Very Good. • Time representativeness: Very Good. Allocation of energy and electricity types and amounts to the various manufacturing processes has been provided by the manufacturers along with production waste. Allocation of impacts to the products is based on the product composition mass. Flows related to human activities such as employee transport are excluded. The construction of capital assets such as buildings, manufacture of machines and transportation systems are also excluded since the related flows are assumed to be negligible compared to the manufacture of the building material when compared to these systems over a full lifetime of operation. The cut-off criteria of section 6.3.6 of EN15804:2012+A2:2019 have been followed, where 99% of the total energy and materials are included, and the total neglected input flows for the modules reported on in the LCA are less than 5% of the energy usage and mass.

Technical purpose This EPD is for Breedon Roof Tiles precast concrete roof tiles. The results presented in this EPD are the results for the four types of precast concrete roof tiles manufactured by Breedon in 2021. The raw materials for the tiles are cements, aggregates, admixtures, pigments and paints. In addition, consumables are also modelled and cover: mould oil, mould trays and packaging (wood pallets, shrinkrwap and plastic banding). The roof tiles are manufactured in accordance with the following standard: E.N. 490: 2005 Concrete Roofing Tiles & Fittings. The concrete roof tiles are manufactured from fine and coarse sands, cement, water, pigments and admixtures. Paint is also applied to the tiles after curing. The mix ingredients are mixed and placed into a hopper that feeds the mix in to aluminium moulds. The moulds are then placed in an oven to cure the mix. After curing, some tiles are sprayed with paint. Once cured and dried the tiles are stacked for banding in bundles, which are then placed on wooden pallets, where they are shrink-wrapped. The tiles are then ready for dispatch to the market.
