Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
ISO 14040/14044 compliant life cycle assessment: goal and scope, inventory, impact assessment and interpretation, ready for EPD and critical review.
LCA quantifies the environmental impacts of a product or service across its entire life cycle. We deliver ISO 14040/14044 compliant studies that support eco-design, EPDs, customer requirements and regulatory disclosure.
Four phases
Goal and scope definition, life cycle inventory (LCI), life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) and interpretation, with sensitivity and uncertainty analysis.
Impact categories
Climate change, water scarcity, acidification, eutrophication, ozone depletion, resource depletion and more, using EF 3.1 or CML methods.
Software and data
Modelling in recognised LCA software with ecoinvent and EF datasets, complemented by your primary production data.
From LCA to EPD
Studies are structured so the same model supports ISO 14025 / EN 15804 EPDs and ISO 14067 product carbon footprints.
How we work
- 1Gap analysis: current status, legal obligations and data maturity are assessed.
- 2Work plan: scope, boundaries, responsibilities and timetable are agreed.
- 3Implementation: procedures, calculations and evidence files are produced.
- 4Internal review: data quality checks and management review are completed.
- 5Audit / submission: the accredited body audit or official application is managed.
- 6Continuous improvement: annual surveillance, updates and target tracking.
