Defines guidelines of best practice for undertaking life-cycle inventory analysis specific to packaging system.

The scope of this CEN report is to establish a set of guidelines of best practice for undertaking those aspects of life-cycle inventory analysis specific to packaging systems.

In the field of life-cycle assessment (LCA) development and research are ongoing in various areas. The methodology of life-cycle assessment is under continuous progression. Hence, this CEN report, which contains basic advice on the methodology of life-cycle inventory analysis, only serves as a guide to conducting inventory analysis of the life-cycle of packaging systems.
