Product
Product description: Technical data:
Norcem Standardsement FA adjusted is produced for shorter periods due
CEM II/B-M 42,5 R
to challenging access to fly ash. Standardsement FA adjusted is
produced with 13% fly ash and 9% limestone filler. The clinker content Market:
will be approximately the same as ordinary Standardsement FA. The
cement can be used as an ordinary Standardsement FA except in the
sulphate resistance classes SuR1 and SuR2 classes according to NS-

Data quality:
Specific data for the product composition are provided by the manufacturer. They represent the production of the declared product and were collected for EPD
development in the year of study. Background data is based on registered EPDs according to EN 15804, Ostfold Research databases, ecoinvent and other LCA
databases. The data quality of the raw materials in A1 is presented in the table below.

Remarks to environmental impacts

The GWP parameter (A1-A3) for the cement content includes 134.1 kg CO2-eq. from the combustion of alternative fossil fuels during clinker production. In accordance with the
"polluter pays" principle / EN 15804 /, the emissions will be added to the production system that caused the waste. In this EPD, the CO2 contribution from alternative fossil fuels
has not been deducted. This makes it easier to compare calculated global warming of the cement regardless of the status of the waste in different countries.
