Methodology Standard for Stressor-Effects Life Cycle Assessment
Version:
2.1
Status:
Final Standard
Revision Status:
Not Under Revision
Description:
This standard will provide a framework for the determination of environmentally relevant category indicators, calculation of indicator results, documentation and reporting requirements. It will facilitate the usefulness of life cycle assessment in supporting decision-making claims made about products and systems, and will complement ISO 14044 and ISO 14040 by providing detailed guidance for Life Cycle Assessment using Stressor-Effects Life Cycle Assessment (SE-LCA) and guidelines for evaluating SE-LCA results for projects and organizations.

Assurance System:
Conformance with SCS-002 requirements is assessed through annual audits conducted by SCS Global Services, a qualified and independent third party. Audits are conducted according to scheme-specific and relevant international standards.
