Technical purpose of product or process The product included is a medium Glazed ceramic tile that comprises different models of glazed ceramic tiles from absorption group BIIa, according to UNE-EN 14411:2016. It is formed by dry pressing with water absorption between 3% and ≤ 6%. The formats covered by this study have a thickness ranging from 8.5 mm (20.63 kg/m²) to 10.3 mm (22.26 kg/m²), with an average weight of 21.66 kg/m². The results presented in this declaration refer to an average product that represents various series. The average product has been calculated based on the weight per square meter of the different series included and weighted according to the production during the year under study. The variability of the Global Warming Potential (GWP) impact category for stages A1–A3 of the different products included in this declaration is below 10%. The main recommended use for this product is as flooring and/or as cladding for interior walls and façades. The CPC code of the products is 37310 – Ceramic tiles and slabs, glazed or unglazed.

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.
