2.4 Delivery status Modified mineral mortars are generally manufactured and supplied as factory-made dry mortars. Factorymade dry mortar is a finished mixture of base materials which merely requires the addition of water and/or a polymer dispersion on the building site. The products can be supplied in 1-5 kg bags, 15-25 kg sacks, big bags (1 t), minitainers (1.2 t) or as silo goods (5-15 t). Paper sacks with polyethylene lining were modelled as packaging (worst-case approach). 2.5 Base materials/Ancillary materials Typically, the products covered by this EPD contain the following range of base materials and auxiliaries (% by mass): Inorganic binder: ~ 2 - 98 Filler materials: ~ 0 - 90 Additives: ~ 0 - 10 Aqueous dispersion and/or dispersion powder: ~ 0 35 These ranges are average values and the composition of products complying with the EPD can deviate from these concentration levels in individual cases. More detailed information is available in the respective manufacturer's documentation (e.g. product data sheets). Note: For companies to declare their products within the scope of this EPD it is not sufficient to simply comply with the product composition shown above. The application of this EPD is only possible for member companies of DBC, EFCC, FEICA, and IVK member associations and only for specific formulations with a total score below the declared maximum score for a product group according to the associated guidance document. 1. substances from the “Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for Authorisation” (SVHC) If this product contains substances listed in the candidate list (latest version) exceeding 0.1 percentage by mass, the relevant information can be found in the safety data sheet of the relevant product covered by this model EPD. 2. CMR substances in categories 1A and 1B If this product contains other carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic (CMR) substances in categories 1A or 1B which are not on the candidate list, exceeding 0.1 percentage by mass, the relevant information can be found in the safety data sheet of the relevant product covered by this model EPD. 3. Biocide products added to the construction product If this construction product contains biocide products, the active substances, information on the concentration and/or concentration range, the product type together with information on their hazardous properties are listed in the safety data sheet of the respective product. 2.6 Manufacture The raw materials are stored in silos, big bags or sacks in the manufacturing plant and fed gravimetrically in
accordance with the respective formula and mixed intensively. The mix is then packaged. 2.7
Environment and health during manufacturing The state of the art involves maximum recirculation of dry waste into production. Wherever dust is incurred during production in the plant, it is directed to a filter system considering the limit values applicable for the workplace and using the corresponding extraction plants. Sack discharge stations connected to the extraction plant offer employees additional protection from dust. Most of the dust collected in the filter system and any residue incurred during production is returned to the manufacturing process. Powder residues: Residual product is returned to the production process wherever possible. Air: Process air is dedusted autonomously, whereby the values are far below legal requirements. Water: The production process does not involve water. Very low volumes of water are required for laboratory tests and for sanitary facilities. Noise: Noise level measurements have indicated that all values established within the production facility fall below the hearing protection limit of 85dB(A). Waste: The main types of waste are powder waste, paper (paper bags) and foil. Low volumes of metal scrap (metal containers), waste oil (maintenance), wood (pallets) and commercial waste are incurred. All waste is separated, stored and redirected to the recycling circuit or disposed of. 2.8 Product processing/Installation Modified mineral mortars can be processed both automatically and manually. The mortars are either automatically removed from a silo using a dry conveyor or manually taken from the container, mixed with water and installed. The professional liability association's rules apply as well as the respective safety data sheets pertaining to the construction products. On account of the various hydrate levels of cement, lime and calcium sulphate binding agents in the mineral mortar, the fresh mortar mixed with water is usually strongly alkaline. In the case of more extensive contact, this alkaline state can cause serious damage to eyes and skin. Therefore, any contact with eyes or skin must be avoided by taking personal protective measures, and the information outlined on the safety data sheet must be observed. Uncontrolled dust emissions should be avoided. Modified mineral mortars may not be discharged into the sewage system, surface water or groundwater. Waste incurred on the building site (packaging, pallets, residual mortar) must be collected separately. Suitable waste disposal companies dispose of packaging materials and mortar sacks and return them to the recycling circuit. Dry mortar residue is taken back by the manufacturing plants and used as a raw material. No dry mortar residue in mortar sacks is incurred. Hard mortar residue can be recycled or disposed of as building site rubble. 2.9 Packaging A detailed description of packaging is provided in section 2.4. Empty, trickle-free paper containers and clean PE foils can be recycled. 2.10 Condition of use A modified mineral mortar does not rot and is resistant to ageing when used in accordance with the 5
designated purpose of the respective products. It is a durable product which, when used as adhesive, screed, waterproofing material or repair product, makes an essential contribution towards improving building function and value. 2.11 Environment and health during use Owing to the stable crystalline bond and firm structure achieved after curing, emissions are extremely low and harmless to health when the respective products are used in accordance with the designated purpose. No risks are known for water, air and soil if the products are used as designated. Natural ionising radiation from mineral mortar is extremely low and negligible in terms of health hazards. Options for applications in indoor areas with permanent stays by people: Evidence of the emission performance of construction products in contact with indoor air and depending on the designated use must be submitted for applications in indoor areas with permanent stays by people, e.g. in accordance with the German AgBB test scheme or the GEV (Gemeinschaft Emissionskontrollierte Verlegewerkstoffe, Klebstoffe und Bauprodukte e.V., Düsseldorf) EMICODE® marking system typically applied in Germany. 2.12 Reference service life Modified mineral mortars decisively improve the usability of building structures and significantly extend their original service lives. The anticipated reference service life depends on the specific installation situation and the exposure associated with the product. It can be influenced by weathering as well as mechanical or chemical loads. 2.13
Extraordinary effects
Fire In accordance with Commission Decision 94/611EC, modified mineral binding agents comprising finely distributed organic components must always be classified in reaction-to-fire class A1 ‘No contribution to fire’ in accordance with EN 135011. Where higher percentages of organic components are involved, it can also be assumed that at least the requirements of EN 135011 are maintained for fire class E and Efl. Fire protection Name
Building material class Burning droplets Smoke gas development
Water No relevant volumes of water-soluble substances hazardous to water are washed out when hardened modified mineral mortars are exposed to water (e.g. flooding). Modified mineral mortar is stable in terms of structure and is not subject to any changes in form when exposed to water and drying. If non-hardened modified mineral mortars are exposed to water an increase of the pH will take place. Mechanical destruction The mechanical destruction of modified mineral mortars does not lead to any decomposition products which are harmful to the environment or health. Dust
incurred during de-construction should be avoided by taking the appropriate measures (e.g. humidification). 2.14 Re-use phase Components manufactured using modified mineral mortars can usually be easily demolished. When a building is removed, the materials do not need to be treated as special waste; care should, however, be taken to ensure unmixed residual materials wherever possible. Modified mineral mortars can usually be redirected to normal building material recycling circuits. Re-use is generally in the form of recycled aggregate in building construction and civil engineering. No practical experience is currently available for reusing components comprising cementitious-based products after decommissioning.
amounts do not play a role when the construction product is disposed of. They do not interfere with the disposal/recycling of other components/building materials. The following waste codes according to the European List of Waste (2000/532/EC) can apply: Mineral mortar: EWC 17 01 01 and EWC 10 13 14 Mineral filler and levelling compound: EWC 17 01 07 Calcium sulphate-based filler and levelling compound: EWC 17 08 02 2.16 Further information More information is available on the manufacturer's product or safety data sheets and is available on the manufacturer's websites or on request. Valuable technical information is also available on the associations' websites.
2.15 Disposal The portion of a modified mineral mortar applied to another construction product is rather low. These low

LCA: Calculation rules 3.1 Declared Unit This EPD refers to the declared unit of 1 kg of modified mineral mortar, group 2; applied into the building with a density of 800 - 1,700 kg/m³ in accordance with the IBU PCR part B for Mineral Factory-Made Mortars. The results of the Life Cycle Assessment provided in this declaration have been selected from the product with the highest environmental impact (worst-case scenario). Depending on the application, a corresponding conversion factor such as the density to convert volumetric use to mass must be taken into consideration.
run the machines. After the demolition, the product is transported to the end-of-life processing (C2 module) where all the impacts related to the transport processes are considered. For precautionary principle and as a worst-case scenario, landfilling is the only end-of-life scenario considered. This is modelled by the landfill process (module C4) where the product ends its life cycle. Module D accounts for potential benefits that are beyond the defined system boundaries. Credits are generated during the incineration of packaging material that is occurring in the A5 module.
The Declaration type is according to EN 15804: Cradle to gate with options, modules C1–C4, and module D (A1–A3, C, D) and additional modules (A4-A5).
3.3 Estimates and assumptions For this EPD formulation and production data defined and collected by FEICA were considered. Production waste was assumed to be disposed of by landfilling as a worst-case. An average of paper sacks with polyethylene lining and wooden pallets was considered in the LCA.

3.4 Cut-off criteria All raw materials submitted for the formulations and production data were taken into consideration. The manufacture of machinery, plant and other infrastructure required for the production of the products under review was not taken into consideration in the LCA. Transport of packaging materials is excluded. 3.5 Background data Data from the GaBi 10 database SP40 (2020) was used as background data. 3.6 Data quality Representative products were applied for this EPD and the product in the group displaying the highest environmental impact was selected for calculating the LCA results. The background datasets used are less than 4 years old. Production data and packaging are based on details provided by the manufacturer. The formulation used for evaluation refers to a specific product. The data quality of the background data is considered to be good.
3.7 Period under review Representative formulations are valid for 2021. 3.8 Allocation Mass allocation has been applied when primary data have been used and implemented into the LCA model.
3.9 Comparability Basically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the data sets to be compared were created according to EN 15804 and the building context, respectively the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken into account. The GaBi 10 database SP40 (2020) was used.

RESULTS OF THE LCA – additional impact categories according to EN 15804+A2-optional: 1 kg of modified mineral mortar, group 2 Indicator
[Disease PM ND ND ND ND ND ND ND Incidence] [kBq U235IRP ND ND ND ND ND ND ND Eq.] ETP-fw [CTUe] ND ND ND ND ND ND ND HTP-c [CTUh] ND ND ND ND ND ND ND HTP-nc [CTUh] ND ND ND ND ND ND ND SQP [-] ND ND ND ND ND ND ND PM = Potential incidence of disease due to PM emissions; IR = Potential Human exposure efficiency relative to U235; ETP-fw = Potential Caption comparative Toxic Unit for ecosystems; HTP-c = Potential comparative Toxic Unit for humans (cancerogenic); HTP-nc = Potential comparative Toxic Unit for humans (not cancerogenic); SQP = Potential soil quality index
Potential Human exposure efficiency relative to U235, Disclaimer 1 – This 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 or radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, radon and (from) some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator. ADP minerals & metals, ADP fossil, WDP, ETF-fw, HTP-c, HTP-nc, SQP, Disclaimer 2 – The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experience with the indicator. Additional environmental impact indicators (suggested by EN15804, table 4) are not declared in the EPD. The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high and as there is limited experience with the indicator (see ILCD classification in EN 15804, table 5). For this reason, results based on these indicators are not considered suitable for a decision-making process and are thus not declared in the EPD.
6. LCA: Interpretation The majority of impacts are associated with the production phase (A1-A3). The most significant contribution to the production phase impacts is the upstream production of raw materials as the main driver. Besides the cement also the dispersion powder influences the results significantly, although this is only used for up to 9 % of the total composition. Significant contributions to Primary Energy Demand – Nonrenewable (PENRT) derive from the energy resources used in the production of raw materials. The largest contributor to Primary Energy Demand – Renewable (PERT) is the consumption of renewable energy resources required for the generation and supply of electricity. During manufacturing (A1-A3) some influence also arises due to the wooden pallets and paper used as packaging that need solar energy for photosynthesis. It should be noted that Primary Energy Demand – Renewable (PERT) generally represents a small percentage of the production phase primary energy demand with the bulk of the demand coming from non-renewable energy resources.
In all EPDs, CO2 is the most important contributor to Global Warming Potential (GWP). For the Acidification Potential (AP), NOx and SO2 contribute the largest share. Transportation to the construction site (A4) and the installation process (A5) make a minor contribution to almost all impacts. The only exception is a relevant influence of carbon dioxide emissions in module A5 to Global Warming Potential (GWP) due to the incineration of the packaging materials plastic, paper and pallets. In module A4, transport to construction site, values for Eutrophication (freshwater, marine and terrestrial) have an impact due principally to the emission of phosphate. Furthermore, climate change from land use change is influenced by transport processes, due to the diesel production used as fuel, because part of this diesel has been produced from bio-based raw materials. The end-of-life phases have a negligible influence on all impacts.
7. Requisite evidence Leaching Special tests and evidence have not been carried out or provided within the framework of drawing up this Model EPD. Some member states require special documentation on leaching for specific areas of application. This documentation has to be provided separately and is specific to the product in question.
If of relevance for the application (usually if the products are used outside of buildings) the leaching behaviour has to be measured e.g. according to DIN EN 12457/14 or DIN EN 14405 combined with the Council decision 2003/33/EC.
