HomeUpdated characterisation and normalisation factors for the environmental footprint 3.1 method
Publikācijas metadati
In 2021, the European Commission adopted a revised Recommendation on the use of Environmental Footprint (EF) methods to measure and communicate the life cycle environmental performance of products and organisations. In 2022, a joint effort between the European Commission and the EF Technical Advisory Board and its expert groups (as the Agriculture Working Group and the Data Working Group) resulted in an update of the EF life cycle impact assessment (from EF3.0 to EF3.1), where new characterisation factors for six impact categories and new normalisation factors for eight impact categories were tested and validated. This report describes the EF3.1 update, clarifies the differences between the EF3.0 and the EF3.1, and explains which changes mainly drove the variation of results in case of the EF representative products and of the official EF datasets. The update of the characterisation factors was major (i.e., involving the CFs derivation/calculation rules) in the case of Climate change, Human toxicity, non-cancer, and Ecotoxicity, freshwater, while it only included minor adjustments for other three impact categories (Acidification, Photochemical ozone formation, and Human toxicity, cancer). The change in the normalisation factors was due both to the update of the characterisation factors and to the correction of the global inventory of very few substances. Finally, the EF3.1 results of 2752 EF official datasets and 49 EF representative products were compared to the EF3.0 results.
