| Use advice for data set | Scope: This document refers to OSB boards for construction purposes, which are manufactured in the following plants of the Egger Group: Egger Holzwerkstoffe Wismar GmbH & Co. KG, Am Haffeld 1, 23970 Wismar, Germany SC EGGER Romnia SRL Str. Austriei 2. PO Box 38 725400 Radauti, jud. Suceava, Romania System boundary: The LCA of the EGGER OSB boards includes a cradle-to-gate consideration of the occurring environmental impact with the modules C1-C4 and module D (A1-A3, +C, +D). The following life cycle phases are taken into account in the analysis: Module A1– A3 | Production stage The product stage includes the cost of raw material procurement (roundwood, producing the glue system, additives, etc.), as well as related transport relative to the production plants in Wismar and Radauti. Within the plant premises, the lumberyard, the strand preparation, OSB production, board finishing are considered to the plant or to shipping. The preparation of thermal and electric energy takes place in the case of both plants via their own biomass power plant; in addition, electricity is purchased from the grid. Module C1 | Dismantling / Demolition The products are dismantled manually or with little use of machinery. It can therefore be assumed that the energy required to dismantle the products is a negligible factor, which means that no environmental impact from the dismantling of the products is declared in Module C1. Module C2 | Transport to waste treatment Module C2 includes transport to waste treatment. For this purpose, transport by lorry over a distance of 50 km is used as a scenario. Module C3 | Waste processing Module C3 declares the biogenic carbon dioxide emissions in energetic utilisation at the end of the product life. Furthermore, chopping after product disassembly is also considered. The wood products and with them the material-inherent properties leave the product system as secondary fuel in module C3. Module C4 | Disposal The scenario used declares the energy recovery of the wood-based materials, which means that no environmental impact from the waste treatment of the products in C4 are to be expected. Module D | Uses and charges beyond the limits of the product system The energy utilisation of the product at the end of its life cycle is described in Module D, including energetic substitution potentials as a European average scenario. | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | EGGER OSB boards are used in the construction industry in non-load-bearing or load-bearing and stiffening components such as roofs, walls and ceilings in accordance with EN 1995-1-1 in use classes 1 (dry conditions) and 2 (humid conditions; under roofs). They can be a component of so-called engineered wood products (EWP) such as I- beams or box girders. Furthermore, OSB boards can be used for non load bearing applications in interior design, drywall constructions, trade fair construction and shop fitting, as well as wood packaging and concrete formwork. | ||

| General comment on data set | EGGER OSB boards (Oriented Strand Boards) are synthetic resin-bonded, three-layer wood-based panels made from oriented strand boards (micro-veneers) in accordance with EN 300 Boards made of long, slender, aligned chips (OSB). The orientation of the middle layer is thereby at a right angle to the surface layers. Softwood is mainly used (spruce, pine), as well as up to 30% hardwood. | ||

| Technology description including background system | Bark removal of roundwood Chipping of the roundwood into'strands' (micro-veneers), separately for outer layer and middle layer Drying strands to approx. 34 % residual moisture Screening outer and middle layer strand portions Blending outer and middle layers with resins Spreading and orienting the strands on the forming machine Compression of the mat of strands in a continuous press Dividing and edge-trimming the OSB board strand into raw board sizes Cooling of the raw board formats in the star cooler Stacking into large stacks, conditioning Cut-to-size, surface sanding and edge processing of the OSB boards if necessary Package formation and packaging Technical data: Declared properties for EGGER OSB boards with CE marking correspond to the Declaration of Performance (DOP) in accordance with EN 13986:2004+A1:2015 Wood-based panels for use in construction and EN 300:2006 Oriented Strand Boards (OSB). For further information see: www.egger.com Furthermore, national provisions apply according to JAS Standard MAFF Notification No. 664, Structural Panels for EGGER OSB 3 JAS TOP, according to AS/NZS 1604 Preservative treated woodbased products for EGGER OSBrace® H2 and EGGER OSFloor™ H2, according to PS 2-18 Voluntary Product Standard, Performance Standard for Structural Panels for EGGER OSB PS 2 EXP 1 and EGGER Structural Flooring. Declared unit: This environmental product declaration is based on a declared unit of 1 m EGGER OSB boards with an average raw density of 611 kg/m and a delivery moisture of approximately 6%. | ||
