PRODUCT LIFE-CYCLE
SYSTEM BOUNDARY
This EPD covers the life-cycle modules listed in the following table.
Modules not declared = MND. Modules not relevant = MNR.
MANUFACTURING AND PACKAGING (A1-A3)
The environmental impacts considered for the product stage cover the
manufacturing of raw materials used in the production as well as packaging
materials and other ancillary materials. Also, electricity, and waste formed
in the production processes at Signify’s manufacturing facilities are included
in this stage.
The product is made of metals, plastics, and electronic components. All components are transported to Signify’s production facility, where the main manufacturing processes primarily are associated with assembly. The finished product is packaged with polyethylene, cardboard, and/or paper as packaging material before being sent to customers. Manufacturing loss, ancillaries and wastes are calculated according to the data that each manufacturing site is sharing with Signify. The total annual amount of waste in kg is allocated to the total annual production in kg at the specific manufacturing site responsible for the production of the studied luminaire. Thus, it is possible to allocate it according to the weight of the product analysed in this study. Some of the waste are due to ancillary materials used during manufacturing while the rest is due to material losses.
TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION (A4-A5
Transport distances were calculated on the base of the supplier location and
manufacturing location and then made a cumulative group choosing the
conservative scenario. Environmental impacts from installation include waste
packaging materials (A5). The impacts of energy consumption and the used
ancillary materials during installation are considered negligible.
PRODUCT USE AND MAINTENANCE (B1-B7)
During the use phase, the product consumes electricity from Europe’s
electricity grid mix (B6).
The total power consumption of the reference product is calculated as follows:
Wattage x Reference lifetime = kWh consumed throughout the entire use phase
B6.
Air, soil, and water impacts during the use phase have not been studied.
PRODUCT END OF LIFE (C1-C4, D)
Consumption of energy and natural resources in demolition process is assumed
to be negligible. It is assumed that the waste is collected separately and
transported to the waste treatment center. Transportation distance to
treatment is assumed as 150 km and the transportation method is assumed to be
lorry (C2). According to EN 50693:2019, the sequence of treatment operations
occurring to the product shall include de-pollution, fractions separation and
preparation (dismantling, crushing, shredding, sorting), recycling, other
material recovery, energy recovery and disposal. In this study, the default
values from table G.4 of EN 50693 is used for treating materials in different
waste treatment methods. Due to the material and energy recovery potential of
parts in the lighting system, the end-of-life product is converted into
recycled raw materials, while the energy recovered from incineration displaces
electricity and heat production (D). The wooden pallet and other plastic
packaging used during transportation is also incinerated for energy recovery
and/or recycled. The benefits and loads of incineration and recycling are
included in Module D.
SYSTEM BOUNDARY
LIFE-CYCLE ASSESSMENT
CUT-OFF CRITERIA
The study does not exclude any modules or processes which are stated mandatory
in the reference standard and the applied PCR. The study does not exclude any
hazardous materials or substances. The study includes all major raw material
and energy consumption. All inputs and outputs of the unit processes, for
which data is available for, are included in the calculation. There is no
neglected unit process more than 1% of total mass or energy flows. The module
specific total neglected input and output flows also do not exceed 5% of
energy usage or mass.
ALLOCATION, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Allocation is required if some material, energy, and waste data cannot be
measured separately for the product under investigation. All allocations are
done as per the reference standards and the applied PCR. In this study,
ancillary materials, energy & water consumption, material loss and waste
generation at the manufacturing site are attributed to the bill of materials
of the products, therefore, they are allocated by partitioning the quantities
on the base of the total production in kg throughout the year. Thus,
allocation has been done in the following ways:
Data type | Allocation |
---|---|
Raw materials | No allocation |
Packaging materials | No allocation |
Ancillary materials | Allocated by mass or volume |
Manufacturing energy and waste | Allocated by mass or volume |

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DATA
CORE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT INDICATORS – EN 15804+A2, PEF
- GWP = Global Warming Potential; 2) EP = Eutrophication potential. Required characterisation method and data are in kg P-eq. Multiply by 3,07 to get PO4e;
- POCP = Photochemical ozone formation; 4) ADP = Abiotic depletion potential;
- EN 15804+A2 disclaimer for Abiotic depletion and Water use and optional indicators except Particulate matter and Ionizing radiation, human health. The results of these environmental impact indicators shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experience with the indicator.
ADDITIONAL (OPTIONAL) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT INDICATORS – EN 15804+A2, PEF
- EN 15804+A2 disclaimer for Ionizing radiation, human health. 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 nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator; 7) SQP = Land use related impacts/soil quality.
USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES
- PER = Primary energy resources.

APPENDIX (EPD HUB ALIGNED)
This section represents the scaling method for the B6 module, following the
PEP EcoPassport PSR for luminaries (PSR-0014-ed2.0-EN-2023 07 13). The GWP
results were scaled from a reference variant of a product family, based on
various light management scenarios and power inputs of the luminaires within
the same product familiy
To calculate the Scaled Impact (SI), we have followed the below methods:
- Calculate the power scaling factor (PSF), which is the ratio of the power input of the variant in questions Pin and the power input of the base variant Pbase.
- Calculate the Total Scaling factor by multiplying the PSF by the control scaling factor (CSF), where the CSF is determined according the relevant control factor scenario (e.g. if the luminaire has a presence detection system). The presented controls factors values in Table A1 are based on BS EN 151931:2017.
Please refer to this publication or contact Signify directly for more information.
TSF = PSE * CSF
Table A1 Light management functions (EPD Hub aligned)
Scenario| Abbrev.| CSF
---|---|---
No control| NC| 1
Daylight dependency factor| DD| 0.75
Presence sensing| PS| 0.75
Daylight dependency and presence sensing| DD+PS| 0.55 - Lastly, the GWP of the base variant is then scaled by the TSF.
- Scaled Impact = GWP case * TSF

APPENDIX (PEP ECOPASSPORT ALIGNED)
This section represents the scaling method for the B6 module, following the
PEP EcoPassport PSR for luminaries (PSR-0014-ed2.0-EN-2023 07 13). The GWP
results were scaled from a reference variant of a product family, based on
various light management functions, the lumen output (Olum) and reference
service life (RSL) of each product within the same product familiy.
To calculate the Scaled Impact (SIpep), we have followed the below methods:
-
Calculate the power scaling factor (PSF), which is the ratio of the power input of the variant in questions Pin and the power input of the base variant Pbase.
-
Calculate the Total Scaling factor by multiplying the PSF by the control scaling factor (CSF), where the CSF is determined according the relevant control factor scenario (e.g. if the luminaire has a presence detection system), as presented in Table A1.
TSF = PSE * CSF
Table A3: Light management functions (PEP EcoPassport aligned) Scenario| Abbrev.| CSF
---|---|---
No control| NC| 1
Daylight dependency factor| DD| 0.75
Presence sensing| PS| 0.75
Daylight dependency and presence sensing| DD+PS| 0.55 -
Lastly, the GWP of the base variant is then scaled by the TSF.
Scaled GWP = GWP case * TSF -
Using this scaled GWP, we then can apply the PEP Ecopassport method for calculating the environmental impact of the functional unit for a luminaire (1000 lumens over 35000 hours), applied to B6, where the Functional Unit application considers the lumen output (Olum) and reference service lifetime (RSL) of the product to estimate the final environmental impact. The scaled impact (SIpep) is presented in Table A4.
As described in the EPD, calculations are made based on dataset describing electricity available on the low voltage level in Europe for year 2022 (source Ecoinvent 3.8 database). This value should be adjusted depending on specific project requirements. Presented controls factors and functional unit conversion values are based on the PEP EcoPassport PSR for luminaries (PSR-0014-ed2.0-EN-2023 07 13).
