Product
Product description / Product definitionThis Environmental
Product Declaration refers to a single-sided safety barrier
including the foundation, containment level H1W4A (Brand Name
JSAM-M/H1) which is pictured below. Containment levels are defined
according to /EN 1317-2:2010/.
The declared product consists of several steel
components (i.e. barrier strips, posts, spacers and beams) that
are individually cold formed and then assembled together by means
of bolts and screws. This includes the foundation parts which
connect the barrier to the ground.For the placing on the market in
the EU/EFTA (with the exception of Switzerland) the Regulation
/(EU) No 305/2011/ applies. The product needs a Declaration of
Performance taking into consideration /EN
1317-5:2007+A2:2012/AC:2012 Road restraint systems/ and the
CE-marking.
ApplicationSteel safety barriers are road restraint systems
designated to redirect and/or contain errant vehicles safely or to
avoid vehicle impact with a more resistive object and reduce
accident severity, for the benefit of the occupants and other road
users, including pedestrians. For the application and use the
respective national provisions apply.

3 Environmental Product Declaration ArcelorMittal – Single-sided
Safety Barrier - containment level H1W4A
Technical DataThe performance under impact of the products has
been assessed according to the test methods described within /EN
1317-2:2010/. CE Declaration of Performance has been released for
each product in accordance with the specifications outlined in
Annex ZA in the /EN 1317-5:2007+A2:2012/.
Base materials / Ancillary materials The parts of each barrier
are made of different steel grades (HX340LAD, HX420LAD, S250GD,
S350GD /EN10346:2015/) with metallic coating Magnelis© ZM310
(/EN10346:2015/). These steel parts can have various steel
thicknesses, ranging between 2.8 and 8 mm.
Detailed steel and coating properties and chemical compositions
are available at
http://industry.arcelormittal.com/catalogue/E35/EN.
The base material of road barrier systems is iron. Alloying
elements are added in the form of ferro alloys or metals. The
metallic coating includes zinc, aluminum and magnesium.
Reference service lifeUse phase (B1-B7) is not declared in this
EPD. A reference service life for road barriers is not declared,
since the lifetime will depend on specific designs and
applications, as well as environmental conditions. The durability
of the product, including the foundation design, is ensured by
galvanizing components according to /EN10346:2015/.
LCA: Calculation rules
Declared UnitThe declaration refers to the functional unit of 1
running metre (rm) of safety barrier including the foundation, as
specified in Part B: Requirements on the EPD for Safety
barriers.
Declared unitName Value UnitDeclared unit 1 rmConversion factor
to 1 kg 0.0316 m/kg
System boundaryType of the EPD: cradle-to-gate - with options.
Module A1-A3, Module C3 and module D were considered. Modules A1-A3
of the structural steel production include the following:
The provision of resources, additives, and energy
Transport of resources and additives to the production site
Production processes on-site including energy, production of
additives, disposal of
production residues, and consideration of related emissions
Recycling of production/manufacturing scrap. Steel scrap is
assumed to reach the end-of-waste status once it is shredded and
sorted, thus becomes an input to the product system in the
inventory.
Module C3 takes into account the sorting and shredding of
after-use steel, as well as the non-recovered scrap due to sorting
efficiency which is landfilled. A conservative value of 1% landfill
is considered. Module D refers to the End-of-Life of the road
barriers, including reuse and recycling.
Data qualityAll relevant background datasets are taken from the
GaBi software database /GaBi ts Software/. Regarding foreground
data, this study is based on high quality of primary data,
collected by ArcelorMittal.

Safety Barrier - containment level H1W4A
The GaBi-database contains consistent and documented datasets
which can viewed in the online GaBi-documentation /GaBi ts
Documentation/.
ComparabilityBasically, 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.
.
LCA: Scenarios and additional technical information
Steel road barriers are 100% recyclable. According to the
/European Commission Technical Steel Research/ and the /German
Ministry of Environmental Affairs/, 99% of the used steel is
regained after dismantling, thanks to the magnetic properties of
steel.The assumptions for the end-of-life for this study is based
upon a collecting rate of 99%, taking into account 1% going into
landfill due to unforeseen losses after the removal of the steel
road restraint systems. End of life (C3)Name Value UnitLandfilling

Note: 0.75 kg scrap is used in the manufacturing of 1 running
metre (31.62 kg) of steel road restraint system. After use, 31.30
kg steel is recycled. The potential environmental benefit
calculated for the end-of-life stage (module D) is based on the net
amount of scrap in the system: 31.30 kg – 0.75 kg = 30.55 kg. The
system has a net output of 30.55 kg scrap (which carries a
potential credit), thus module D shows an environmental
benefit.
