Extraction notes & caveats

Cradle-to-gate + end-of-life EPD: modules A1-A3, C1-C4, D declared; A4-A5 and B1-B7 are ND (not declared) per the System Boundary matrix (Table 2, p.7). GWP family taken from Table 10 (EN 15804+A2, AR2520, per m3, p.18): Core indicators (GWP-total/fossil/biogenic/luluc) and Additional indicator GWP-GHG. GWP-total = GWP-fossil + GWP-biogenic + GWP-luluc holds per module within source rounding; GWP-biogenic A1-A3 is a genuine declared negative value (-2.40E-01), explained on p.6 as a negative biogenic term landing in A1-A3. A1-A3 GWP-total = 140 kg CO2e/m3. Not captured (by dataset convention on +A2): the EN 15804+A1 'GWP' single indicator (Table 12, p.20), the GWP-GHG (IPCC AR5) carbon-footprint indicator (p.18), and the alternative 100% recycling / 100% landfill end-of-life scenarios (Tables 13-14, p.21-22) — Table 10's C1-C4/D use the representative Victorian building-and-demolition end-of-life scenario. LCIA: EF 3.1 package, SimaPro v9.6.0.1.

Single-product EPD (AR2520, 25 MPa) — cover states 'EPD of a single product from a manufacturer (from one location)'; not a multi-mix EPD, so a single representative mix applies.
Product stage reported only as the A1-A3 aggregate in the results (Table 10, no A1/A2/A3 split); A1/A2/A3 set to aggregate_only although the boundary matrix marks each of A1, A2, A3 as declared (X).
strength_eval_days not explicitly printed; left null (AS 1379 grade is the 28-day characteristic compressive strength by convention).

Extraction: Claude (pdftotext -layout + multimodal reading) structured extraction; System Boundary matrix (Table 2) reconciled against the per-module results table (Table 10); validated with zod + GWP identity checks. · confidence high · 2026-07-02
