Overview
This European Standard covers bio-based products derived wholly or partly from biomass and provides specific requirements for life cycle assessment and specific guidance for assessing the environmental aspects of bio-based products throughout their life cycle. The basis for the elaborations of this standard is provided by EN ISO 14040 and EN ISO 14044. The applications of LCA as such are outside the scope of this European Standard. Explanations, considerations, practices, simplifications, and choices for the different applications are also outside the scope of this European Standard. Working Committee NA 172-00-11 AA "Biobasierte Produkte" ("Bio-based products") at DIN Standards Committee Principles of Environmental Protection (NAGUS) is responsible for this standard.
