| Use advice for data set | Scope: This EPD refers to the manufacture, transport and disposal of a representative product with the highest environmental impacts (worst case) for a range of BEMO products. The findings of the EPD are applicable to the product family types N65, N50, VF65 in thicknesses between 0.8 mm and 1.0 mm, fitted with thermo clip type 245/80. When using older clip types (65/80, 85/80, 125/80, 165/80, 205/80 or 225/80), the environmental impacts may be calculated using the conversion tables. Products with an identical designation but which have an aluminium thickness greater than 1.0 mm are not covered by this EPD. The collected production data is for the year 2022. The aluminium standing seam profiles are manufactured in the Bemo factory in Ilshofen-Eckartshausen, Germany. The owner of the declaration shall be liable for the underlying information and evidence; any liability of the IBU in relation to manufacturer information, LCA data and evidence is excluded. The EPD was prepared in accordance with the requirements of EN 15804+A2. In the following, the standard is referred to in simplified form as EN 15804. System boundary: The life cycle analysis for the BEMO standing seam system includes the stages "cradle to gate with options". Consideration is given to Modules A1-A3 as a combined module for the product stage, A4-A5 (construction stage), C1-C4 (end of life stage) and D (end-of-life potentials and loads beyond the system boundaries). In particular, the following processes were included in information module A1-A3 for the production of the standing seam system: - Raw material supply (aluminium and glass-fibre reinforced plastic) (A1) - Transport of the raw and auxiliary materials and consumables to the factory (A2) - Production processes for the system product in the factory, including the energy costs (power and disposal of residual substances) (A3) - Production of packaging materials (A3) - Transport from the factory gate to the construction site (A4) - When installed in the building, the assembly screws are also considered. The diesel consumption for the transport crane to the roof, as well as the energy consumption, are not included. - Environmental impacts for the disposal of the packaging (A5). - De-construction and demolition from the building (C1) using a diesel excavator, without taking into account the diesel used by the crane for disassembly. - Transportation to a recycling centre (C2) - Waste processing for recycling the aluminium and thermal treatment of the clip (C3) - Landfill operation for the non-flammable material from the clip (C4) and for the aluminium not collected (loss 5%) - Treatment and potentials at end of life for the aluminium recycled in Module D (recycling rate 95%) | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | The form-fit interlocked and self-supporting standing steel profiles are inserted into the roof and facade. Here, the profiles are fitted on clips and crimped/interlocked together. The standing seam profiles may be used on roofs with a pitch of 1.5 degrees or above. Both roof and wall (facade) versions can be ventilated, i.e. with a cold roof design or as an insulated structure. | ||

| General comment on data set | The BEMO standing seam system is a roof and facade system made of aluminium. The standing seam profiles are manufactured at the factory or through mobile roll forming directly at the construction site. As a general rule, the system can be produced in widths between 80 mm and 600 mm. Furthermore, various heights and designs are possible, depending on the specific architectonic and structural requirements. In addition to the various widths and heights, the profiles may also be raised in a convex or concave arrangement. There is also the option of producing conical and free-form profiles which can also be raised. There are various surfaces and coatings. The aluminium profiles are available in natural sheer or stucco. Only the sheer version is examined here. The declared system includes the thermal bridge free GFRP clip and the standing seam profile. For putting the product on the market in the EU/EFTA (with the exception of Switzerland), Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011(CPR) applies. The product requires a Declaration of Performance taking into account ETA-15/0351 dated 21/06/2019, BEMO flat roof aluminium standingseam profile system, roof and wall systems with hidden fastenings and/or the general approval for use by the construction supervising authority Z-14.1-182 dated 02/04/2022 and the CE marking. | ||

| Technology description including background system | The aluminium profile is produced in the factory in Ilshofen in Germany. The GFRP clip component is purchased from a third party, picked and packed in the factory and delivered on a project-specific basis. Technical data: The declared unit refers to 1m standing seam system N65-305 with thermo clip 245/80 comprising straight standing seam profile panels made of aluminium and their related clips. Declared unit: The declared unit refers to a 1m2 representative standing seam system BEMO N65-305 in 1.00 mm thickness with thermo clip 245/80. The aluminium component assessed in this EPD is the one with the highest weight/m2 of all 3 types covered by this EPD (N50, VF65 and N65). The results of the life cycle assessment for all 3 named product versions weighing under 4.31 kg aluminium/m2 and with a material thickness between 0.8 and 1.0 mm. For the second component, there is a total of 7 clip options with different weights. Results were calculated for all 7 product versions (heaviest aluminium component with all 7 possible clip types). For the declared unit, the version with the highest weight/m2 (0.47 kg/m2)was assessed. The screws for the product assembly were also included in the declaration. | ||
