Title: EPD for Polyflor homogene gulvbelegg (EPD).pdf
Reference service life The service lifetime of a floor covering for a certain application on a floor is too widespread to give one common number. For this EPD model the reference service lifetime (RSL) is set to one year. This means that all impacts for the use phase are based on the cleaning and maintenance model for one year. Depending on the area of use based on /EN ISO 10874/, the technical lifetime advised by the manufacturer and the estimated time of the floor by the customer, the service lifetime can be determined. The use phase impacts should be calculated with the foreseen service life to arrive at the total environmental impact /EN 16810/. ERFMI provides an online tool for the calculation of a specific service life on the ERFMI home page (www.erfmi.com) for the end-user.LCA: Calculation rulesDeclared Unit 1m² of floor covering.results in this EPD are declared for a one-year usage.Declared unit Name Declared unit Declared unit Conversion factor to 1 kgValue 1 3.25 0.308Unit m2 kg/m² -
