Methodological guidance establishes standardized criteria for environmental impact assessment models across product systems, highlighting pathways to harmonize life cycle evaluation.

Key Points

Establish a comprehensive framework and defined requirements to evaluate, harmonize, and select scientific models and indicators for Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA).
Defined evaluation criteria based on completeness of scope, environmental relevance, scientific robustness, certainty, transparency, reproducibility, and stakeholder acceptability.
Characterized cause-effect environmental mechanisms across three Areas of Protection: human health, natural environment, and natural resources.
Delivered specific modeling requirements across critical impact categories, including climate change, ozone depletion, eutrophication, acidification, toxicity, and resource depletion.
Formulated a consistent assessment architecture enabling cross-comparison of life cycle inventory emissions and resource consumption indicators.
