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 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.
The document presents a list of the Key Sustainability Performance Indicators (KSPIs) of noise reducing devices,
as the basis for further relevant sustainability assessment(s) of those devices, following their intended use.
The KSPIs address, as far as possible; the (i) technical, (ii) environmental, (iii) economic and (iv) social
sustainability characteristics.

Introduction
This document presents the KSPIs the manufacturers will provide in order to allow better understanding on how
their product can be considered “sustainable”. It focuses on four sets of sustainability characteristics: (i)
technical, (ii) environmental, (iii) economic and (iv) social. NRD manufacturers are expected to declare the data
available in series of measurable quantities that will be used for the evaluation of the relevant sustainability
KSPIs.
This information can help manufacturers to identify the product stages with the most important impact on
different sustainability aspects.
This information can then be further used in the sustainability assessment of the NRDs over their entire life cycle
while those devices will be used following their intended use.
This document identifies the data that is to be provided setting out the quantitative and qualitative performance
indicators to be declared.
The aim is that of supporting manufacturers to focus on different aspects and production stages to improve the
manufacturing process. In addition, procuring entities can use the KSPIs in tender specifications to promote
more sustainable solutions and innovations.
When placing a product (NRD) on the market the manufacturer is expected to declare its performance with
reference to the work requirements and to the CPR (Regulation EU 305/2011).
With reference to sustainability, the declaration is voluntary and can involve the consideration of their relevant
characteristics over the whole life cycle. Those characteristics can be of the technical, environmental, economic
and social type.
Sustainability evaluation of NRD implies a global approach where information provided by the manufacturer are
used by other stakeholders or by another party involved.

1 Scope
This document lists KSPIs providing information that is relevant for assessing the sustainability of Noise
Reducing Devices (NRD) products when used as complete systems alongside roads.
The KSPIs identified in this document are intended for the assessment of the technical, environmental, economic
and social performance of NRDs over their life cycle and include the considerations listed in Annex A.
This document does not address the assessment of sustainability but provides the relevant information for such
assessment.
