First edition March 2010. EUR 24586 EN. Luxembourg. Publications Office of the European Union; 2010. Abstract Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) are the scientific approaches behind modern environmental policies and business decision support related to Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP). The International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) provides a common basis for consistent, robust and quality-assured life cycle data and studies. Such data and studies support coherent SCP instruments, such as Ecolabelling, Ecodesign, Carbon footprinting, and Green Public Procurement. This guidance document provides a framework and requirements for the models that are used to analyse the emissions into air, water and soil, as well as the resources consumed in terms of their contributions to different impacts on human health, natural environment, and natural resources. The principle target audience for this document is the Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) expert but also the experienced LCA practitioner and decision makers that are interested in the Impact Assessment models and indicators used in LCA. This document builds upon to related topics and conforms to the ISO 14040 and 14044 standards on LCA.
