Profiled sheets made of steel for roof, wall, deck and ceiling constructions
Use advice for data set Scope: This document is an association EPD for 1 m of steel trapezoidal 135/310 profile and it represents an average EPD, based on vertical averaging of the specific producer datasets under consideration of the yearly production amounts. Its applicability is limited to steel profiled sheets, which are manufactured by member companies of the European Association for Panels and Profiles. The following member companies of the European Association for Panels and Profiles have provided data for the year 2022: 1. ArcelorMittal Group, Construction Division ArcelorMittal Construction Austria ArcelorMittal Construction Belgium ArcelorMittal Construction Deutschland ArcelorMittal Construccin Espaa ArcelorMittal Construction France ArcelorMittal Construction Nederland Arcelormittal Construction Polska ArcelorMittal Construo Portugal ArcelorMittal Construction Slovakia ArcelorMittal Construction Sverige Europerfil Mnker Metallprofile 2.

Zambelli RIB-ROOF These companies are representative for the European production of steel profiled sheets. Additionally, the EPD includes a public annex. This annex applies to: 1 m steel trapezoidal profile 35/207 1 m steel standing seam profile 1 m steel liner tray 1 kg steel profile. System boundary: Type of the EPD: cradle to gate - with options, modules C1-C4 and module D (A1-A3, C, D and additional modules A4 and A5) Production stage (modules A1-A3) includes processes that provide materials and energy input for the system, manufacturing and transport processes up to the factory gate, as well as waste processing. Module A4: Delivery to the construction site- fixed transport distance of 100 km. Module A5: Disposal of transport packaging at the construction site and installation by construction machineries- diesel and electricity driven. Module C1: Dismantling with the use of machineries- diesel and electricity driven. Module C2: Transport to the site of end-of-life treatment- fixed transport distance of 50 km. Module C3: Metal recycling of the steel profiles Module C4: Deposition/landfill (no environmental impact). Module D: Potential credits for substitution processes or recycling materials from A5 and C3. For the end of life, it is assumed that the steel is recycled with credit for the recycling potential declared in module D. For the end of life, a collection rate of 100 % is assumed.
Technical purpose of product or process The products are used as covering components in single- and multi-layer roof and wall structures, as well as supporting trays in single- and multi-layer roof, wall, deck and ceiling structures for mainly static loads. The profiled sheets are used in interior and exterior applications.

General comment on data set The EPD is valid for prefabricated thin-walled profiled sheets made of steel for load-bearing, self-supporting and non-supporting applications in single- and multi-layer roof, wall, deck and ceiling structures. The profiled sheets are made of a core of steel, which is protected against corrosion with zinc and organic coatings. The LCA is based on vertical averaging of the specific producer datasets under consideration of the respective yearly production amounts.

Technology description including background system The profiled sheets made of steel, such as trapezoidal profiles, liner trays or standing seam profiles are prefabricated thin-walled elements for load-bearing, self-supporting and non-supporting applications in single- and multi-layer roof, wall, deck and ceiling structures. They are made of a core of steel with zinc and organic coatings for protection against corrosion. The steel profiles are produced on continuously operating roll formers. This is a cold forming process, which begings by unwinding the steel coil. The roll forming machine is set in correspondence with the wished profile type. After forming, the sheets are cut at the wished length and stacked on each other. Technical data: Technical specifications for profiled sheets are: EN 14782 EN 508 EN 1090 Declared unit: The declared unit is 1 m2 of steel profile. The averaging is done weighted based on the production volume (in m²) per company.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
