| Use advice for data set | Scope: The nails are intended for use in the production of wood-wood or board-wood connections in load-bearing or stiffening timber structures or timber structures contributing to load-bearing with softwood elements, e.g., solid timber, glue-laminated timber, cross-laminated timber, laminated veneer timber, and similarly glued components, wood-based materials or gypsum fibreboard. The declared environmental data relating to 1 kg of LignoLoc® wooden nails is based on a weighted average of Raimund BECK Nageltechnik GmbH wooden nails at the production plant in Mauerkirchen, AT, and has been regionalised for Germany and Austria using generic data. System boundary: The type of declaration is an EPD Cradle-to-Gate – with options. It comprises the production stage, i.e., from the provision of the raw materials up to the gate of the production factory (cradle-to-gate, modules A1 to A3), construction (modules A4 to 5), and end of life (modules C1 to C4). In addition, potential benefits and burdens are assessed beyond the products life cycle (module D). Module A Module A1 assesses the provision of the wood-based raw materials and the provision of the adhesives and additives. In addition, the assessment essentially looks at the processing, drying (incl. emissions), sorting, and pressing of the raw materials into laminated veneer timber. The transport of the materially utilised raw materials to the factory are assessed in module A2. Module A3 covers the provision of the operating materials, product packaging, and electricity as well as the manufacturing processes which take place on location. Module A4 examines the transport to the site of construction, which is essentially reflected by the distribution to intermediate purchasers. Module A5 reflects the disposal of the product packaging, including the outflow of the biogenic carbon content and primary energy content (PERM and PENRM). It also reflects the processing of the wooden nails at the construction site with the usual compressed air tools. Module B Module B is not covered because the fastener remains in the connected (wood) components until the connection is separated, and residues may remain in the wood(-based material) after the separation, as they do not constitute foreign or extraneous material. Module C Manual deconstruction without burdens is assumed for module C1. Module C2 covers the transport to the disposal service, while module C3 covers the processing and sorting of the wood waste. In addition, the CO2 equivalents of the wood-immanent carbon contained in the product and the renewable and non-renewable primary energy (PERM and PENRM) contained in the product are calculated on the basis of normative requirements in module C3 acc. to EN 16485; there is no disposable waste in C4. This is because the product system is turned into wood waste at the end of its life cycle which is not allowed to be disposed under AltholzV (2020), but is subjected to thermal or material utilisation instead. Module D Module D assesses the thermal utilisation of the product at the end of its life cycle and the resulting potential benefits and burdens in the form of an expansion of the system. Modul D Module D assesses the thermal utilisation of the product at the end of its life cycle and the resulting potential benefits and burdens in the form of an expansion of the system. | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | The nails are intended for the production of wood-wood or board-wood connections in load-bearing constructions with elements made of: Softwood plywood acc. to EN 636 or European Technical Assessment (minimum bulk density 400 kg/m, maximum bulk density 700 kg/m) Oriented strand board OSB/3 und OSB/4 acc. to EN 300 or European Technical Assessment (minimum bulk density 500 kg/m, maximum bulk density 700 kg/m) Fibreboard acc. to EN 622-5 and EN 13986 or European Technical Assessment (minimum bulk density 500 kg/m, maximum bulk density 700 kg/m, only for service class 1) Solid timber board acc. to EN 13353 and EN 13986 or European Technical Assessment (minimum bulk density 400 kg/m, maximum bulk density 700 kg/m) Gypsum fibreboard acc. to European Technical Assessment or EAD no. 07000600050415 (minimum bulk density 1050 kg/m, maximum bulk density 1250 kg/m, only for service class 1). The nails are supposed to be driven into the wood without pre-drilling perpendicularly to the direction of the fibres using a compressed air tool, taking account of the maximum bulk density of the wood materials. Pre-drilling is recommended for high-bulk density wood. The nails are intended for use in connections which are subject to static or quasi-static loads. | ||

| General comment on data set | The LignoLoc® line of products consists of pin-type fasteners made of wood and intended to connect two wood-based components which were designed for various applications in the timber construction industry. The wooden nails are collated on a plastic band also called collation band so that they can be processed using a compressed air tool. The nails are intended for use in wood-wood or board-wood connections in load-bearing or stiffening timber structures or timber structures contributing to load-bearing with softwood elements, e.g., solid timber, glue-laminated timber, cross-laminated timber, laminated veneer timber, and similarly glued components, wood-based materials or gypsum fibreboard. The nails are made of densified, laminated beech wood, and come in different variants. The LignoLoc® wooden nail comes with head, without head, with profile, stepped shaft, a blunt or differently shaped point. Depending on the application, the fastener can have varying geometric properties. The declared unit of 1 kg of wooden nails consists of 537 nails on average. | ||

| Technology description including background system | Die LIGNOLOC® Produktlinie umfasst holzgefertigte stiftförmige Verbindungsmittel, zur Befestigung von zwei Holzwerkstoff-Bauteilen, die für verschiedene Anwendungen in der Holzbauindustrie entwickelt wurden. Hierfür kann ein Druckluftgerät zum Eintreiben des LIGNOLOC Holznagels verwendet werden. Die Nägel sind zur Herstellung von Holz-Holz- oder Platten-Holz-Verbindungen in tragenden, aussteifenden oder mittragenden Holzkonstruktionen mit Bauteilen aus Nadelholz, z. B. Vollholz, Brettschichtholz, Brettsperrholz, Furnierschichtholz und ähnlich verleimten Bauteilen, Holzwerkstoffen oder Gipsfaserplatten bestimmt. Diese Nägel bestehen aus verdichtetem Buchenschichtholz und sind in unterschiedlichen Varianten erhältlich. Je nach Anwendung kann das Verbindungmittel unterschiedliche geometrische Eigenschaften aufweisen. Der LIGNOLOC Holznagel kann mit Kopf, ohne Kopf, eine Profilierung, eine Abstufung am Schaft, eine abgestumpfte oder unterschiedlich ausgeformte Spitze aufweisen. Technical data: Constructional data of the LignoLoc® wooden nail can be found in the respective approvals and technical drawings, as exemplified by the following extract from ETA 23-0041 and ETA 23-0330 for wooden nails. Declared unit: 1 kg of LignoLoc® wood nails (collated into coils) are used as reference for this declaration. | ||
