Fredrik Moltu Johnsen and Kari-Anne Lyng Østfoldforskning AS Year of study: 214 Verification: Independent verification of data, other environmental information and EPD has been carried out in accordance with ISO1425, 8.1.3 and 8.1.4 externally internally Approved Senior Research Scientist, Mie Vold (Independent verifier approved by EPD Norway) Key environmental indicators Global warming Energy use Dangerous substances <Title Name> (Manager EPD-Norway) CO2 -eqv Cradle to gate A1 - A3 17 712 ***** (A4) 13 198 Installation ****** (A5) 5 95 An extra negative emission of 39 of CO2 formally belongs to A1 due to CO2 uptake during tree growth. This uptake is re-emitted to air in the C3 stage (incineration). This uptake is not included in the table, because the resultant negative emission score for A1 - A3 only makes sense in the context of the full life cycle. No substances appearing on the Candidate list 16.6.14 and the Norwegian priority list have been added to the product. from production site to central warehouse in Norway ****** A4 and A5, but not A1-A3, include the raw materials of the pedestals and stringers used for raising the floor ***** NEPD293E Gammabox/Gammapac panel for use as raised floor 2

Delivered with perimiter trim of PVC or ABS, and finish of choice (such as PVC or laminates). Bottom plate:.5 mm thick, galv. steel. Available with finishes; EPD assumes PVC. Floor height: 11mm - 15mm; EPD assumes 7mm - see sensitivity analysis below. Product specification Wooden core height: 3-38 mm; EPD assumes 3 mm Cf. the data sheets of the products (see Bibliography) Compliance with European Standard NF EN 12825 Sustainably sourced wood (PEFC certified) Reference service life: Materials Wood-resin board (3mm) Bottom steel tray / m2 21.18 3.45 % 8.4% 13.1% 2 years Production process: Perimiter trim (PVC, G.box).46 1.7% Wood-resin board, tray, perimeter trim and laminate are Finish/laminate (PVC assumed) 1,26 4.8% cut and tightly fit together.

Data quality: Specific data for products and mass flows were supplied by the producer in 214. Estimates related to the product-specific data are generally based on data from the 21s. Generic data sources: Ecoinvent 2.2/SimaPro software (generic). Ecoinvent 2.2 processes are created 23-27. Upstream data for raw materials are significant for the LCA results in this study; these are modelled using Ecoinvent processes. 5 km transportation from Blix to installation is assumed. For longer transportation, please consult the sensitivity analysis below. A sensitivity analysis is moreover provided for different heights of the raised floor, which can also significantly influence results. Cut-off criteria: 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. Allocation: The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 1584. Incoming energy and water and waste production in-house production is allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. Effects of primary production of recycled materials allocated to the main product in which the material was used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to this analysis. NEPD293E Gammabox/Gammapac panel for use as raised floor 3
