Carbon and evidence

Product Evidence

Evidence currently held for the Kvik product record.

Kvik

Recorded Carbon Result

0.606kgCO₂e/kg

A1–A3 GWP-FOSSIL per 1 kg of kitchen cabinet, 20-year technical life (a base cabinet is 19 kg), as declared in EPD-IES-0012991. GWP-total for the same unit is -0.603, lower because biogenic uptake is booked in A1–A3 and returned at C3 — the fossil figure is the one that survives that round trip. NOT UK-AVAILABLE.

Indicator: GWP-fossil

A1–A3 covers raw-material supply, transport to manufacture and manufacturing. It is product-stage information, not a whole-life result.

* A4/A5 are EPD scenarios, not project-specific results. Module nomenclature follows BS EN 15978 / EN 15804. Declared values are suitable as inputs to a whole life carbon assessment under the RICS Professional Standard (2nd edition); this panel is not an assessment.
