  • The table is divided by industry or theme. Each industry and theme has three tables: "Basic Information", "Input-Output", and "Data Source".

The "Data Source" table stores the source of the process data, including the source of the process data.

The "Process Basic Information" table stores the basic information of the process.

The "Input-Output" table stores the input flow and output flow information of the unit process.

  • The code table contains standard data that can be referenced during the data entry process, including Flow, Location, and Unit.

The "Code Table - Flow" stores standard Flow information, mainly for reference when entering Flow information in the Input-Output table.

The "Code Table - Location" stores standard spatial attribute information, mainly for reference when entering Location information in the Basic Information table.

The "Code Table - Unit" stores standard unit information, mainly supporting the unit information in the Code Table - Flow.

The "Code Table - Participant" stores information about the individuals participating in data recording.

Data Logic

Language Requirements

To facilitate the establishment of a bilingual database, all content involves both Chinese and English fields. The contents of the fields with 'EN' in the table field names should be filled in English.

Data Entry Phase 1: Fill in according to the language of the data source, that is, if it comes from Chinese literature, fill in Chinese, if it comes from English literature, fill in English, to maintain consistency with the description related to the data source to the greatest extent.

After finalizing the data: Carry out professional translation from Chinese to English or English to Chinese to fill in the missing language fields. Note: The use of language should be consistent and professional.

To avoid duplicate work, during the data entry phase, only the original text is respected and excerpts are made from the original text. No translation work is done. After the content of the data table and the data verification are correct, the finalized data table is translated.

Things to Note

When multiple people are processing a table at the same time, clicking '+' may result in no new blank records being created. Please refresh the page, and then the blank records with continuous IDs that have been created will appear.

LCI principle

LCI method principle followed in the product system modelling, i.e. regarding using average data (= attributional = non-marginal) or modelling effects in a change-oriented way (= consequential = marginal).

LCI method

Brief Explanation of Specific Methods Used in LCI Modeling, such as Allocation and Substitution:

This section provides a concise explanation of the specific methods used in Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) modeling, such as allocation and substitution. It also includes the methods applied within the included background systems in the case of LCI results and partially terminated system datasets.

In LCI modeling, allocation is a method used to distribute environmental burdens or benefits among co-products or shared processes based on specific allocation rules or criteria. It ensures that the impacts associated with multiple products or processes are appropriately allocated according to their contributions.

Substitution, on the other hand, involves replacing one material, energy source, or process with an alternative that serves the same function. This method allows for the assessment of different scenarios or options by considering the environmental implications of using alternative inputs or processes.

When dealing with LCI results and partially terminated system datasets, it is important to consider the methods applied within the background systems included in the analysis. These methods can involve using existing life cycle inventory databases, statistical data, or other sources to estimate missing or incomplete data, ensuring a more comprehensive assessment.

Explanation of LCI Principles and Methods

This section provides an explanation of the principles and methods used in Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) calculations. It includes a description of the underlying principles, references used for selecting the processing methods, and specific methods employed.

LCI calculations involve quantifying the inputs, outputs, and environmental impacts associated with a product or process throughout its life cycle. The principles behind LCI methods typically include the systematic assessment of raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, use, and end-of-life stages.

When dealing with LCI results and incomplete system datasets, it is important to consider the methods used within the background systems included in the analysis. These methods may involve using established life cycle inventory databases, statistical data, or other sources to estimate missing or incomplete data, ensuring a more comprehensive evaluation.

The selection of processing methods in LCI calculations should be based on reliable references or guidelines. These references provide guidance on choosing appropriate methods for data collection, allocation, data quality assessment, and other relevant aspects.

Overall, the principles and methods in LCI aim to provide a systematic and comprehensive assessment of the environmental impacts associated with a product or process throughout its life cycle.

Example: The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804. Incoming energy and water and waste production in-house is allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. Effects of primary production of recycled materials is allocated to the main product in which the material was used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to the analysis in this EPD. For bitumen production, crude oil extraction and transport are allocated by mass, while the final products from oil refineries are allocated by economic factors.

Explanation of Function Unit

Detailed Explanation of Function Unit Used in LCI Calculation Process:

The function unit is a term used in Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) calculations to define the specific unit of measurement or reference for comparing the environmental performance of different products or systems. It provides a quantitative measure of the function or service that a product or system delivers.

The function unit is an essential component of LCI calculations as it establishes a common basis for evaluating and comparing the environmental impacts of different alternatives. By defining a consistent function unit, LCI practitioners can assess the environmental performance of various products or systems in a meaningful and standardized manner.

When determining the function unit, it is crucial to accurately capture the essential characteristics and performance requirements of the product or system under study. For example, in the case of a light bulb, the function unit could be defined as "one hour of illumination" or "providing a specific amount of light output."

The selection and specification of the function unit should be clearly documented in LCI studies to ensure transparency and reproducibility. It allows for accurate comparisons and facilitates decision-making processes related to product development, resource allocation, and environmental management.

Explanation of Input-Output Flow Completeness

This section provides an explanation of the completeness of input-output flows in data collection. It includes a description of the completeness of product, input, and output data, specifically regarding the integrity of product flows, waste flows, and elementary flows. This explanation also encompasses the cut-off criteria for data collection and the systematic exclusion of infrastructure, services, or auxiliary facilities.

In the process of data collection for life cycle assessment (LCA) or life cycle inventory (LCI), it is important to ensure the completeness of the input-output flows. This involves gathering comprehensive data on the inputs (e.g., raw materials, energy, water) and outputs (e.g., products, emissions, waste) associated with a specific product or system.

To determine the completeness of the flows, cut-off criteria are established. These criteria define what is included and what is excluded from the analysis based on certain thresholds or standards. For example, certain infrastructure elements, services, or auxiliary facilities may be systematically excluded if they do not significantly contribute to the overall environmental impact or if their inclusion would lead to excessive complexity or data collection burden.

Additionally, the completeness of flows involves considering the integrity of product flows, waste flows, and elementary flows. Product flows refer to the materials and energy inputs and outputs directly associated with the product being assessed. Waste flows encompass the emissions and waste generated throughout the product's life cycle. Elementary flows represent the individual substances or pollutants emitted or released during the life cycle stages.

By ensuring the completeness of input-output flows, LCA practitioners can obtain a more accurate and reliable assessment of the environmental impacts associated with a product or system, enabling informed decision-making and potential areas for improvement.

 Example: All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production processes for raw materials and energy flows with very small amounts (less than 1%) are not included. These cut-off criteria do not apply for hazardous materials and substances.
