Use advice for data set The life cycle assessment of the Circuit-breaker VBF 36.20.32 HCEP variant, an EEPS
(Electronic and Electrical Products and Systems), is a “cradle-to-grave” analysis. The figure
below shows the product life cycle stages and the information considered in the LCA. In terms of exclusions from the system boundary, according to Standard/PCR, capital
goods such as machinery, tools, buildings, infrastructure, packaging for internal
transports, and administrative activities, which cannot be allocated directly to the
production of the reference product, are excluded. Auxiliary wiring used differs from
customer to customer, hence that is excluded.
Infrastructures, when present, such as in processes deriving from the ecoinvent database,
have not been excluded. Scraps for metal working and plastic processes are also included
when already defined in ecoinvent. |
