The draft version of the Guidance for the Development of Product Category Rules is now available for public comment.
This guidance document is a response to a widely recognized need for
additional instruction on the development of rules specific to a
category of products for making claims based on a
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The purpose is to supplement existing standards for LCA-based
claims that require the development of product category rules (PCRs) or
their equivalents. The aim is that PCRs can be developed in a consistent
manner and used to support claims based on multiple standards.
PE is a member of the Product Category Rule Guidance Development Initiative
This document embodies the efforts of individuals with expertise in
LCA and LCA-based product claims from more over 40 organizations
including PE INTERNATIONAL under the name of The Product Category Rule
Guidance Development Initiative.
