| Use advice for data set | Scope: The EPD applies for all member companies of the Bundesverband der Gipsindustrie e.V. in accordance with the current list of members on www.gips.de and for products manufactured in Germany. The LCA considers specific information supplied by the manufacturers and suppliers of components exclusively for the cradle-to-gate production stage. This document is translated from the German Environmental Product Declaration into English. It is based on the German original version EPD-BVG-20140069-IAG1-DE. The verifier has no influence on the quality of the translation. System boundary: The EPD refers to the production phase in accordance with DIN EN 15804, i.e. it comprises the manufacturing steps from the cradle to the factory gate. Modules A1-A3 include the production of raw materials and transport thereof, the provision of energy and the manufacturing processes required for the production of all components for the gypsum fibreboard product. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Gypsum fibreboards are used in dry interior applications, e.g. as metal stud walls (see Environmental System Declaration /IBU ESD-BVG-2013111-D/), studded wall partitions, ceiling panelling, dry floor screed or cavity floors / sheet-panelled access floors. They can be used in buildings for public, private or commercial applications. |
