| Use advice for data set | Scope: This declaration applies to 1 piece of TPE2 or TPE3 (Stainless steel) pump. The declaration covers all standard stainless steel TPE2 and TPE3 pump variants with the nominal connection size 50 and maximum head 240 dm: TPE2 50-240, TPE3 50-240 The product is assembled in Hungary. The life cycle assessment is based on data collected from the ERP system of the manufacturer, including data from the manufacturing plant. . System boundary: This EPD is classified as a Cradle-to-Grave and module D. All major steps from the extraction of natural resources to the final disposal of the product are included in the scope of the study, following the modular approach of EN15804. Modules A1-A3 refer to the product stage and includes raw materials extraction and processing, transportation, and the manufacturing process. The product stage is included in this study, and according to EN 15804 the system boundary with nature is set to include those processes that provide the material and energy inputs into the system and the following manufacturing, transport up to the factory gate as well as the processing of waste arising from those processes. The assembly of the product, as well as the packaging, are included in A3. Wastes and losses are included in the modules where they occur according to the polluter pays principle and the modular approach of EN 15804. Module A4 regards the transportation from the production site to the regional distribution centre, and finally to the construction and product application site. Module A5 refers to the installation process of the pump including the transportation of packaging waste to the treatment site and the waste treatment of packaging. The use of energy during installation is negligible for the selected functional unit. Modules B1-B7 refer to the use stage. All use stage modules are assessed in the study, though B1, B2 and B7 are assessed to be zero. The modules B3, B4 and B5 are declared as "MNR" (module not relevant) according to the PCR-B. Module B6 regards energy use during the operation of the pump and includes the electricity consumption of the product. The total electricity consumption over the reference service lifetime is assessed by calculating the average power input using a specified load profile and multiplying with the number of running hours per year and number of years of the RSL. Modules C1-C4 refer to the End-of-life stage. A product reaches the end-of-life of its service life when it no longer provides any functionality. This life cycle stage includes all activities from the end-of-life of the pump until all materials and components are processed, reused, recycled, or disposed of. C1 regards the dismantling of the pump, and this module is a manual activity. C2 regards the transport to waste processing, C3 refers to the processing (shredding) of waste for recycling, and C4 refers to waste disposal: landfilling and incineration. The End-of-Life assumption is that 95 % is collected as electronic waste, while 5 % goes to landfill. Module D refers to the burdens and benefits beyond the system boundaries. According to EN15804, module D includes the reuse, recovery and/or recycling potentials, expressed in net impacts and benefits. Contributions to module D come from waste incineration processes in A5 and C4 as well as material (metal) recycling in C3. The specific fractions and net flows are shown in the scenarios section of this declaration. | ||

| General comment on data set | TPE2 and TPE3 (TPE2/3) pumps are single-stage, in-line centrifugal pumps mounted with electronically speed-controlled MGE motors (motor efficiency class IE5). The pumps are designed for systems with variable flow rates. The pumps have integrated speed control for automatic adaptation of performance to the varying flow conditions. The energy consumption is thus kept at a minimum. The declaration covers all standard stainless steel TPE2 and TPE3 pump variants with the nominal connection size 50 and maximum head 240 dm: TPE2 50-240, TPE3 50-240 Variants of these pump models were treated together as they physically represent very similar products in terms of materials, weights, and contents of electronics. A representative pump model was applied for assessing the impacts of the A, B, C, and D stages. TPE2/3 is an electronic product and is installed as part of the service functions of buildings and systems. It does however not apply to the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) in requiring any Declaration of Performance. For placing the product on the EU/EFTA market, a CE-marking is required. According to its Declaration of Conformity, TPE2/3 is in conformity with the following Council Directives: Machinery Directives (2006/42/EC and 2009/127/EC) Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU) RoHS Directives (2011/65/EU and 2015/863/EU) EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) The CE-marking takes into account the proof of conformity with the respective harmonized standards based on the legal provisions above. For the application and use the respective national provisions apply. | ||
