Use advice for data set
The life cycle assessment is a “cradle-to-grave” analysis, and the system boundaries are defined according to EN 50693, as required by the PCR EPDItaly007. For transparency reasons, the manufacturing stage is further divided into an upstream and core stage.

General comment
Both primary and secondary data are used. The main sources for primary data are the bill of materials, technical drawings, and site-specific foreground data provided by ABB. For all processes for which primary data are not available, generic background data originating from the ecoinvent v3.9.1 database, with system model “allocation, cut-off by classification”, are used. The LCA software used for the calculations is SimaPro 9.5. The utility consumption and waste generation by ABB, in the core manufacturing stage, is allocated to the production of one reference product according to applicable rules. For the end-of-life allocation, the “Polluter Pays” principle is adopted according to what is defined in the CEN/TR 16970 standard. However, the potential benefits and avoided loads from recovery and recycling processes are not considered because it is not required by the PCR. According to PCR, the cut-off criteria can be set to a maximum of 2 % of the overall environmental impacts. In this LCA, stickers have been excluded as their weights are negligible. Process black oxide and phosphate conversion coating have also been excluded due to the model complexity and unavailability of data.
