Use advice for data set Scope: The declared suspension systems are manufactured in the own manufacturing plant of Georg Kimmel GmbH in Mnchengladbach, Germany. System boundary: Type of the EPD: cradle to gate with options. A1-A3: All raw materials (purchased hot dip galvanized steel with pure zinc coating) belong to A1. Transports of the raw materials are assigned to A2. Energy inputs and utilities for production at Georg Kimmel GmbH as well as production waste treatment belong to A3. The production of packaging materials for products (PE-film and cartons) is also part of A3. A4-A5:The transport to customers belongs to A4. The environmental impacts from the treatment of packaging waste are assigned to A5. C1-C4:C1 is considered as no environmental impacts due to the fact that suspension systems are applied in many different applications and due to the long lifespan of the product, the data for demolition is unavailable. The transport to end-of-life (EOL) treatment is assigned to C2. Treatment of the product belongs to C3. No emissions in C4 as there is no landfill of the product. D: Burdens and credits from material recycling and energy recovery from incineration are considered here.

Data set use approval

General comment The suspension systems are produced in different lengths and/or shapes, depending on the application field and customer requirements. The main raw material used for this product is hot dip galvanized steel with pure zinc coating. Suspension systems play a crucial role in stabilizing and securing ceiling and wall structures. They offer a robust connection, distribute loads, and enhance the load-bearing capacity of installed components. By using a specific number of fasteners, the tensile, shear, and impact resistance, as well as the fatigue strength of the entire structure, are improved.
