Road traffic noise reducing devices - Sustainability : Key Sustainability Performance Indicators (KSPI) Declaration
This European Standard specifies the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to facilitate a tangible appreciation of the degree by which an NRD can be considered sustainable. It focuses on four key sustainability sets of factors;
(i) technical,
(ii) environmental,
(iii) economic
(iv) and social.
NRD manufacturers are required to declare the data available against a series of defined measurable quantities that will be used for the evaluation of the sustainability KPIs.

European foreword
This document (prEN 17383:2021) has been prepared by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 226 “Road
equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR, it concerns the whole life sustainability of Road Traffic
Noise Reducing Devices (NRDs).
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
Introduction
When placing a construction product on the European market the manufacturer is expected to present a
Declaration of Performance (DoP) with reference to the Basic Work Requirements (BWRs) as listed in the CPR
(Regulation EU 305/2011).
This document is intended as a supporting standard for the manufacturer to declare the performance of Road
Traffic Noise Reducing Devices (RTNRD) with reference to BWR 7 Sustainable use of Natural Resources as
mentioned in the CPR.
The performance declared with reference to BWR 7 will be part of the DoP including other product
characteristics.
Considerations for materials (e.g. steel coils, panels of mineral wools, acryl transparent sheet, .) if not related to
the intended use (RTNRD) are not covered by this document.
This document presents the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) the RTNRD manufacturers will provide to
express the performance declared with reference to BWR7 and to allow better understanding on how their
product can be considered “sustainable”.
The declared KPIs will be referred to the manufacturing process included raw materials used and will consist of
measurable quantities to assess product sustainability.
Additional information will be provided by the manufacturer about all processes that are needed to transport,
install, maintain, repair, remove and recycle RTNRDs. This will allow a third party to assess product
sustainability of the RTNRDs over their entire life cycle.
This document is also intended to help manufacturers to identify the materials and product stages with the most
important impact on different sustainability aspects.
Besides manufacturers when other users of present standard are foreseen:
— designers when calculating the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of the product used;
— third parties implementing infrastructure rating systems to determine how the project of the construction
work has incorporated sustainability;
— procuring entities can use the KPIs to promote in tender specifications more sustainable solutions and
innovations;
— private developers to use RTNRDs on their own land similar to those used on public roads.
Declared KPIs and additional information will be provided according to the valid standards at the time of product
placing on the market.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— IEC Electropedia: available at shttps://www.electropedia.org/
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
road traffic noise reducing device
RTNRD
device that is designed to reduce the propagation of traffic noise away from the road environment
Note 1 to entry: The RTNRD may comprise acoustic elements (3.2) only or both structural (3.3) and acoustic elements.
Note 2 to entry: Applications of RTNRD include noise barriers (3.4), claddings (3.5), covers (3.6) and added devices (3.7).
3.2
acoustic element
element whose primary function is to provide the acoustic characteristic of the device
3.3
structural element
element whose primary function is to support or hold in place acoustic elements
3.4
noise barrier
noise reducing device, which obstructs the direct transmission of airborne sound emanating from road traffic
3.5
cladding
noise reducing device, which is attached to a wall or other structure and reduces the amount of sound reflected
3.6
cover
noise reducing device, which either spans or overhangs the highway
3.7
added device
added component that influences the acoustic characteristic of the original noise-reducing device
Note 1 to entry: The added device is acting primarily on the diffracted energy.
3.8
working life
period of time during which the performance of the device will be sustained
[SOURCE: EN 14389]
3.9
design life
useful life of a RTNRD, as intended by the designer
3.10

and replacement, and (4) Removal
Note 1 to entry: Definitions related to the Life Cycle Assessment procedure.
3.14
Environmental Product Declaration
EPD
environmental declaration providing quantified environmental data using predetermined parameters and,
where relevant, additional environmental information
Note 1 to entry: The calculation of predetermined parameters is based on the ISO 14040 series of standards, which is
made up of ISO 14040, and ISO 14044. The selection of the predetermined parameters is based on ISO 21930 (adapted from
EN ISO 14025).
Note 2 to entry: An EPD covering only the product stage in LCA is said to be “cradle to gate” and is based on information
modules A1 to A3 as per EN 15804. See Figure 1.
Note 3 to entry: An EPD is said to be “cradle to gate with options” when it covers the product stage and selected further
life cycle stages. It is based on information modules A1 to A3 plus other selected optional modules, e.g. end-of-life
information modules C1 to C4. Information module D may be included in this EPD as per EN 15804. See Figure 1.
Note 4 to entry: An EPD may cover the life cycle of a product according to the system boundary. In this case, the EPD
covers the product stage, installation, use and maintenance, replacements, demolition, waste processing for re-use,
recovery, recycling and disposal, and is said to be “cradle to grave”. It covers all information modules A1 to C4 as per
EN 15804. In this EPD, the information module D may be included. See Figure 1.
