HV and SB Bolt Sets with Environmental Product Declaration Certification!
We are proud to announce that our HV and SB bolt sets have received the prestigious Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification, which confirm the highest environmental standards for our products!
Obtaining this certification was not merely a formal requirement – it was a deliberate and strategic move that reflects our deep commitment to sustainable development. The EPD is not only a widely recognised document in the construction industry but also a comprehensive life cycle analysis based on detailed data regarding the product's environmental impact. These data, carefully verified by the renowned Building Research Institute (ITB), provide a solid foundation for transparent and reliable investment decisions, benefiting both our partners and the environment.
The SB and HV bolt sets are manufactured in Łańcut, at one of Rawlplug’s production facilities – Koelner Łańcut Bolt Factory. The SB bolt sets are primarily intended for non-preloaded connections of steel structure elements (non-preloaded connections according to EN 15048). HV sets are designed for connections in steel structures where bolts are subjected to tensile forces (preloaded connections according to EN 14399 and EN 1090-2).

Eco-Conscious Product Transparency
One of the most important aspects of the EPD is the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the product, which covers every stage of its existence – from raw material extraction, through the production process, to usage and recyclability. This allows us to provide detailed information about the carbon footprint of the raw materials used in the production of HV and SB bolts, energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and the potential benefits of recycling our products. This level of transparency is crucial for designers, contractors, and investors who prioritise an eco-friendly and forward-thinking approach to construction.
The EPD certification not only positions our company as a leader in sustainable development but also enables us to compare our products with competitors and current industry standards. Importantly, we are ahead of upcoming regulatory changes, such as the Construction Products Regulation (CPR), which will introduce new requirements for manufacturers. We are already implementing innovative projects, incorporating eco-friendly solutions into our portfolio, marking a significant step towards building a more sustainable future.
