Descrizione e Attività
Descrizione Generale
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a method for assessing the environmental impact of a product through all of its life-cycle stages. It requires a massive use of materials' and processes' data. Nowadays all the data are generated with electronic means by the users which hardly use any standard. The main objectives of the network is to achieve accessibility, comparability and quality assurance of data used in LCA of products and the integration of LCA in the design process. The application of new International Standards for the computerised representation of product data, such as ISO 10303, ISO 15926 and ISO 13584, will assure that LCA data will be reusable in another system and will have stability and longevity. The objective of the CASCADE Network is to establish the necessary standards for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data and to create an initial reference database. During the project, the network will define:
the structure of the database (based upon existing international standards);
methods of access to the database (based upon existing international standards);
some initial content for the database;
procedures for development of content for the database by collaborative work between research organisations and other partners
initial education material for the performance of life cycle assessment, and the use of the database.
