As such, the geographical coverage for this study is based on United States system boundaries for all processes and products. Whenever US background data were not readily available, European data or global data were used as proxies.The main material input into the YKK AP manufacturing process is aluminum ingot. The ingot is first alloyed to the desired
grade and cast into billets. Subsequently, the billets are extruded into profiles using steel dies that are manufactured
on-site. The extruded profiles may then be anodized or painted. Optional thermal treatment, whereby a system is
thermally broken, leads into the product’s fabrication and assembly. In a last step, the complete assemblies are
packed for shipment.VersaJamb®, a reinforced tubular door frame, allows for side-lite glazing without shear clips while maintaining the structure transom frames. Panel door corners are mechanically joined and welded for strength. Some designs also provide thermal resistance. ProTek® Impact Resistant and Blast Mitigating Entrances are large and small missile impact
resistant as well as blast mitigation tested.epd_ykk america.pngPartly terminated systemAttributionalnoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massAs required by EN 15804, in case of insufficient input data or data gaps for a unit process, the cut-off criteria were 1%
of renewable and non-renewable primary energy usage and 1% of the total mass input of that unit process. The total of
neglected input flows per module was a maximum of 5% of energy usage and mass.
In practice, all inputs and outputs for which data are available have been included in the calculation. Data gaps have
been filled by conservative assumptions with average or generic data. Capital items for the production processes
(machines, buildings, etc.) were not taken into consideration.Environmental Product Declaration - Aluminum Entrance Systems95.02014No statementthinkstepthinkstep2020-01-01T00:00:00.000ILCD format 1.1thinkstepNo official approval by producer or operator2020-01-01T00:00:00.00000.00.001Data set finalised; entirely publishedGaBi databasesthinksteptrueOtherThe EPD owner (source code, database including extension modules and single data sets, documentation) remains property of thinkstep AG. thinkstep AG delivers GaBi licenses comprising data storage medium and manual as ordered by the customer.
