For those materials, (glaze compost, colorant, and chemical additives) where no primary data were available and an exact chemical composition (coming from datasheet) was unknown an average composition was used, and assumptions were taken based on common chemicals criteria.3.4 All known inputs and outputs were considered.Cut-off criteriaModule B1 considers the use of tiles. During the use of ceramic tiles no hazardous indoor emissions are expected to occour.Module B2 includes the cleaning of the tiles. Provision of water, cleaning agent for the cleaning of the tiles, incl. waste water treatment are considered.Background data3.5 Background data for the Life Cycle Modelling have been taken from the last version /Gabi 7/ professional database (updated to SP30, year 2016). Other sources for background data used are /ELCD/FEFCO/, /Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook/, /Ceramic Glaze Handbook/, /European Ceramic Tile Manufacturers' Federation/.
