| Use advice for data set | Scope: This document relates to all OSB panels which are manufactured in the following SWISS KRONO GROUP factories: SWISS KRONO TEX GmbH & Co. KG, Heiligengrabe, Germany SWISS KRONO Kft., Vasarosnameny, Hungary SWISS KRONO SAS, Sully Sur Loire, France SWISS KRONO Sp. z o.o, Zary, Poland System boundary: This is a cradle to factory gate declaration with options. The lifecycle analysis for the products under examination covers the product stage production processes and also credit’s and impacts beyond the boundary of the product system. The systems thus contain the following stage in accordance with /EN 15804/: Product stage (Modules A1–A3): - A1 Raw material provision and processing and working processes of secondary materials serving as input - A2 Transport to the manufacturer, - A3 Manufacture - A5 Assembly (just the disposal of the packaging material for the product). In accordance with /EN 15804/, the boundary between waste disposal in the first system examined and the downstream system (Module D) is defined at the point at which the secondary material reaches its end-of-waste status. The end-of-waste-status is defined at the point at which energy is produced. | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | SWISS KRONO OSB panels conform to use classes 1 and 2 in accordance with /EN 1995-1-1/ and may therefore be used in wet environments and outdoors where not exposed to weathering. OSB boards can be deployed in load-bearing and stiffening structural elements. | ||

| General comment on data set | OSB panels (Oriented Strand Board – SWISS KRONO OSB) are adhesive-bonded, three-layer wood-based panels (flat-pressed panels) made of oriented scattered, longitudinal wood shavings (120 - 160 mm long strips of veneer), so-called strands in accordance with /EN13986/ and /EN 300/ OSB. Strands of a defined thickness and shape, mainly from round timber, are glued together in several layers. The orientation of the middle layer is at 90° to that of the covering layers. The OSB panels are glued with polymer diphenylmethane diisocyanate-based resin (PMDI adhesive) and manufactured in thicknesses from 6 to 40 mm. The declared product represents a mass-weighted average of the range produced. The fact that different quantities of different thicknesses are produced in the 4 factories is taken into account when calculating the average.EU regulation no. /305/2011/ of 9th March 2011 applies for putting the product on the market in the EU/EFTA (with the exception of Switzerland). The products require a declaration of performance in compliance with /EN 13986:2015/ Wood-based materials for use in construction - Characteristics, evaluation of conformity and marking, and CE labelling. /EN 300:2006-09/, Oriented Strand Boards (OSB) - Definitions, classification and specifications. The respective national regulations apply to use. | ||

All manufacturing plants have an /ISO 9001/-compliant quality management system. Declared unit: The declaration refers to the manufacture of 1m³ OSB panel with a weight of 614.5 kg/m³. | ||
