Life cycle stages - Overview
Manufacturing
Our production sites are certified according to the environmental management system of DIN EN ISO
14001:2015. The focus is on resource-saving processes. In addition, the company uses 100% green
electricity for manufacturing.
Use
The use phase is excluded from the system boundary and determined not to be applicable.
Distribution to Customer
The information on transport distances and means was provided by our logistics department. As a result
of the logistics data, an average distance of 800 Km to the customers is assumed.
The weight and volume of the packaging have been optimized, based on the European Union ‘s
packaging directive.
End of life
The product end of life factors is considered during the design phase. Dismantling and sorting of
components or materials is made as easy as possible with a view to recycling or failing that, another form
of reuse.

Framework / Calculation rules
System approach
Life cycle assessment has been performed on the following life cycle phases: Upstream and
Manufacturing (M), Distribution (D) and End of life (EoL). Please note that the values given above are
only valid within the context specified and cannot be used directly to draw up the environmental
assessment of an installation.
Modelling hypothesis and method:
The preparation and calculation were carried out in accordance with the current standards DIN EN ISO
14040 and DIN EN ISO 14044. Eco database and primary data were used to determine the emission
factors.
Data quality level:
Emission factors from general eco databases as well as emission factors submitted by our suppliers
were used to calculate the product environmental footprint. The quality level of the calculated
environmental indicators indicates how granular the results are for Phoenix Contact. The average level
for the quality level of the product is calculated based on the mass balance and quality level of each
component.
