Public Consultation on Lifecycle Assesment
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is core to a rapidly growing number of policies and business instruments such as eco-design, eco-labels, carbon footprints, environmental product declarations, end of life management. Consistency and quality assurance are now essential for a robust decision support.
The European Commission is supporting the development of the ILCD, which consists of the ILCD Handbook and the ILCD Data Network. The ILCD Handbook is a series of technical guidance documents that provide a common basis to ensure quality and consistency of life cycle data, methods, and assessments. The ILCD Data Network supports the availability of data that are compliant with the ILCD Handbook. This Network is free to be used by all providers, with data being accessible under their terms and conditions.
As part of these developments, and as part of the public consultation, a 4 day technical workshop will be hosted in Brussels from June 29th to July 2nd, 2009. The Workshop will focus on key technical issues associated with the following draft guidance documents, which will be under public consultation at the time of the workshop:
- General Technical Guidance Document on Life Cycle Assessment
- Guidance Document for Generic and Average Life Cycle Inventory Data Sets
- Requirements for Environmental Impact Assessment Methods, Models and Indicators for Life Cycle Assessment
- Review schemes for Life Cycle Assessment
