ISO 14040 Environmental Management, Life Cycle Assessment, Principle and Framework

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 14040 standard. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a comprehensive method for evaluating all aspects or aspects of potential environmental impacts throughout a product's life cycle.

Financial impacts are often added to the systemic assessment process to reflect both environmental and economic assessment. For the specific application of new technologies of LCA informational design, the process of constructing a complete inventory of datasets is very difficult when many variables are unstable or poorly defined.

Collecting early data takes time and limits the application of LCA to new technologies and projects. Therefore, LCA may not normally be associated with predicting or guiding a design process with an incomplete dataset. Here, a life cycle assessment optimization model (LCAO) for incomplete datasets is described, based on the life cycle inventory (LCI) hybrid method and a modified multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approach.

The approach requires data, but can move forward on a given incomplete or ambiguous dataset. The algorithm's model also shows promising results for revealing previously unknown key variables within the dataset, which can facilitate minimizing environmental impact while maximizing economic benefits in product design.
