Technical purpose of product or process Laminated porcelain stoneware ceramic surfaces reinforced with fibreglass mesh 6 mm thick. The ceramic surfaces object of this study are intended to be applied to both floor and wall claddings and to be installed both indoors and outdoors for residential, non-residential and commercial use Porcelain stoneware slabs Group BIa according to UNI EN 14411 Annex G/ISO 13006 Annex G.
General comment on data set The functional unit is 1 m2 of ceramic tiles for wall and floor covering, for a period of 1 years Primary data collected in the context of this study refer to 2022. Most of the information (energy and water consumption, emissions of pollutants, atomised powders and ceramic production) are measured or calculated directly at the company level and declared in the Italian IPPC document called AIA, which is specific and is checked for each plant involved in this study. Carbon dioxide emissions (related to carbonate oxidation) are collected through the ETS (Emissions Trading Scheme) declaration. Detailed data were obtained not only for raw material mixtures (collected with company-specific primary data) but also for dyes, frits and other raw materials used. The overall quality of the data can be considered satisfactory. "The allocations made concern material and energy flows in and out of the production phase processes. Energy and material consumption for the production of atomised powder in the Finale Emilia plant were allocated to the Fiorano product. The product flows studied were calculated by breakdown based on both mass and surface production data of annually produced ceramic tiles. No further allocations were applied in the modules subsequent to the production phase. Some ceramic waste is recycled internally. Credits for energy recovery of packaging materials and end of life of the product have been taken into consideration. " All flows in known inputs and outputs were considered

1This 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.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
