Fig. 7.2 Example of the metadata embedded in One Click LCA profile for every LCI dataset
assigned to project materials. These provide key source information on:
Manufacturer—specific manufacturer or organization that produced the data point
Year—when the study was conducted that produced the data
Country—what applicable country or region for data point
Upstream database—specific database source of the data point
EPD program and number—an EPD on which a data point is based if any. Provides a direct link
for users to further evaluate the EPD source PCR—product category rules that govern the data point
Q Metadata—variability in the data point based on manufacturer, product, and plant specificity
used to gather LCI data. This is based on the Carbon Leadership Forum methodology
Verification and Standard—confirmation that the data point has been verified and lists any relevant
standards to which the data point conforms
