| Technical purpose of product or process | The main purpose of the wardrobe shelf system BB23 is to provide storage mainly for clothes. The main customers of the manufacturer are other businesses. |
| General comment on data set | BB23 is a wall-mounted shelf system with wall rails, a shelf, consoles with brackets and a clothing rail for wardrobes, delivered unassembled. The wardrobe shelf system is available in lengths between 1253 mm (1 or 2 sections) and 4412 mm (7 sections). The wall rails and the consoles with brackets for the clothing rail are made of powder-coated steel, the shelf is a lacquered plywood board, the clothing rail is chrome-polished. Steel screws are used to mount the shelf. The EPD declares an average product of one shelf system with a lenght of one meter.

The manufacturer and their production are located in Karlstad, Sweden. Background data was taken from the Ecoinvent 3.9.1 database. The database is regularly checked and thus complies with the requirements of ISO 14040/44 (background data not older than 10 years). The background data meets the requirements of EN 15804. The general rule was followed that specific data from specific production processes or average data derived from specific processes must be given priority when calculating an EPD or Life Cycle Assessment. Data for processes that the manufacturer cannot influence or choose, were supported by generic data. The scenarios included are currently in use and are representative of one of the most likely scenario alternatives. According to the criteria of the "UN Environmental Global Guidance on LCA database development" mentioned in EN 15804+A2, the data quality for all three representativeness categories (geographical, technical and time) can be described as good. The calculations have been performed in accordance with the “polluter pays” and “modularity” principles, as defined in EN 15804+A2. The following estimates and assumptions have been made for this EPD. The wardrobe shelf system BB23 is available in seven different sections of lengths between 1253 mm (1 or 2 sections) and 4412 mm (7 sections). The mass of materials was calculated by dividing all used materials by all sold BB23 lengths in 2025. The values for the energy and packaging materials are based on values given by the producer. The energy use for the electric truck and the cutting of clothing rail and shelf has been measured for one piece of BB23. The customer assembles the shelf system by themselves. The packaging consists of two parts: the product packaging and the packaging of the Euro pallet. The amount of packaging for the product is based on one piece of BB23 (1 m). It is assumed that 10 pieces of BB23 fit on a Euro pallet. The packaging for the pallet is therefore calculated as one tenth of the amount given by the manufacturer for the pallet packaging. |
