| Use advice for data set | Scope: The declaration and the background LCA represent DORMA's 8000 and 9000 Series exit devices. Raw materials are provided by suppliers and shipped to DORMA, where the exits are manufactured and assembled at DORMA's Steelville, IL facility. System boundary: Type of EPD: cradle-to-gate - with options. The following modules were considered in the analysis: Product stage: Raw material supply (A1) Inbound transport (A2) Manufacturing (A3) Construction process stage: Distribution (A4) Installation (A5)End-of-life stage: Disposal (C4)Beyond system boundaries: Reuse, recovery, recycling potential (D) |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The 8000 and 9000 Series are intended for use in schools, universities, and other institutional or commercial buildings as a fire or panic exit. For paired doors where a full-width opening is only occasionally required, removable mullions are used. Doors are fitted with rim exit devices and normally function as single doors. Steel and aluminum mullions are available in 8' or 10' lengths. |

| General comment on data set | DORMA's 8000 and 9000 Series exit devices reliably secure egress doors in compliance with applicable fire/life safety code requirements. The touchbar, rail assembly and integral parts are constructed of solid steel and are designed to minimize catch hazards. These exit device series offer a selection of architectural finishes and can include a full complement of options, including alarmed exit, delayed egress exit, electric latch retraction, and device monitoring. |
