c. Responses to Recommendations<br />
If the study extends to the LCIA phase and is reported to a third-party, the following<br />
information should be reported:<br />
a description of the data quality;<br />
the relationship between LCI and LCIA results;<br />
the selection of impact categories;<br />
the impact assessment method;<br />
the indicator results profile<br />
normalization references<br />
weighting procedure<br />
2.4.5 Critical Review<br />
The ISO standards require critical reviews to be performed on all Life Cycle Assessments<br />
supporting a comparative assertion. The type and scope (purpose, level of detail, persons<br />
to be involved in the process etc.) of the critical review is described in the LCA report. The<br />
review should ensure the quality of the study as follows:<br />
LCA methods are consistent with the ISO standards;<br />
Data are appropriate and reasonable in relation to the goal of the study;<br />
Limitations are set and explained;<br />
Assumptions are explained; and<br />
Report is transparent and consistent and the type and style are oriented to the<br />
intended audience.<br />
The critical review can be done by an external or internal expert, or by a panel of<br />
interested parties.<br />
