Life cycle assessment (LCA) evaluates potential environmental impacts across a product, process or service life cycle. ISO 14040 describes the principles and framework; ISO 14044 specifies requirements and guidance for the study and its review.
A defensible study defines its goal, functional unit and system boundary before compiling an inventory, assessing impacts and interpreting results. A carbon estimate alone is not a complete LCA, and the method and data need to fit the study’s intended use.
Organize inputs for life cycle studies
Bring product or service activity, materials, energy, transport, and end-of-life records together for a defined life-cycle inventory before impact assessment begins.
Define goal and scope
Record the intended use, functional unit, product system, boundary and assumptions before collecting data.
Compile the life-cycle inventory
Gather material, energy, transport, use and end-of-life inputs with sources and allocation choices.
Assess and interpret impacts
Select impact categories, document methods and data quality, then review limitations and conclusions.
