Scope

This Technical Report provides examples about practices in carrying out an Life Cycle Inventory analysis (LCI) as a means of satisfying certain provisions of ISO 14041. These examples are only a sample of the possible cases satisfying the provisions of the standard. They should be read as offering "a way" or "ways" rather than the "unique way" of applying the standard. Also they reflect only certain portions of an LCI study.

It should be noted that the examples presented in this Technical Report are not exclusive and that many other examples exist to ill ustrate the methodological issues described. The examples are only portions of a complete LCI study.
