Facets |
enumeration | Validation of data sources |
    Analysis of all data sources declared, checking their context-specific correct use as well as their relevance and quality.
enumeration | Sample tests on calculations |
    Values in the inventory are re-calculated from the raw data, or other calculations are validated exemplarily, e.g. scaling, averaging, summing up,
    stochiometric calculations, formulas in the mathematical models, etc.
enumeration | Energy balance |
    The energy balance (e.g. gross or net calorific value or exergy) of the Inputs and Outputs is validated. [Note: For processes that have undergone
    allocation or consequential modeling the value of this review method is limited.]
enumeration | Element balance |
    The balance of the relevant chemical elements of the Inputs and Outputs is calculated and validated. The validated elements should be named in the
    review comments. [Note: For processes that have undergone allocation or consequential modeling the value of this review method is limited.]
enumeration | Cross-check with other source |
    Comparison with other, independent data and/or information sources (can be both database and literature).
enumeration | Cross-check with other data set |
    Comparison with similar process or product system from the same or from other sources (can be both database and literature).
enumeration | Expert judgement |
    Analysis by means of expert opinions. The expert(s) have methodological and detailed technical expertise on the item to be verified and the process
    or product system in question.
enumeration | Mass balance |
    The mass balance of the Inputs and Outputs is validated. [Note: For processes that have undergone allocation or consequential modeling the value of
    this review method is limited.]
enumeration | Compliance with legal limits |
    Regulated Inputs and Outputs e.g. emission data are validated for compliance with legal limits, typically after relating and scaling the data to
    the regulated processes/sites etc.
enumeration | Compliance with ISO 14040 to 14044 |
    Methodological compliance with ISO 14040 to 14044 was checked by an LCA expert.
enumeration | Documentation |
    Evidence collection by means of documentation (e.g. data set's meta data, background report)
enumeration | Evidence collection by means of plant visits and/or interviews |
    Interviews and/or plant visits are performed to validate data and other informtion, tyically in case of inconsistencies, uncertainties, or doubts.
    People interviewed have detailed technical expertise on the analysed process(es).

Type | restriction of xs:string
Facets |
enumeration | Raw data |
    Review/verification is done on basis of the original "raw data", i.e. the data before it was scaled, converted, or treated in other ways to be used
    for modelling of a unit process.
enumeration | Unit process(es), single operation |
    The review is done on the level of the "Unit operation type unit process(es)" that can not be further subdivided. Covers multi-functional processes
    of unit operation type.
enumeration | Unit process(es), black box |
    The review is done on the level of process-chain(s) or plant level unit process(es). This covers horizontally averaged unit processes across
    different sites. Covers also those multi-functional unit processes, where the different co-products undergo different processing steps within the black
    box.
enumeration | LCI results or Partly terminated system |
    The LCI result or Partly terminated system is the level of review/verification.
enumeration | LCIA results |
    The LCIA results of the LCI result or Partly terminated system data set are reviewed/verified, i.e. on level of Climate Change potential, Primary
    energy consumption, Ecosystem damage etc. [Note: see also definition for entry "LCIA results calculation".]
enumeration | Documentation |
    The reporting/documentation of the process or product system, i.e. the data set's sections "Process description", Modelling and validation" and
    "Administrative information" have been reviewed, while this does not include the "Inputs/Outputs". This can include a review of detailed background
    reports.
enumeration | Life cycle inventory methods |
    The application of the LCI method(s) in accordance to the goal and scope have been reviewed. This covers data collection including dealing with
    missing data, data calculation/modelling principles (e.g. consequential or attributional or other/combination), and the application of the related modelling
    approaches such as allocation and system expansion etc. for the process / throughout the product system.
enumeration | LCIA results calculation |
    The selection and application of the LCIA method(s) that have been used for calculation of the LCIA results have been reviewed. This especially
    refers to a correspondance of the elementary flows in the Inputs and Outputs of the product system with the once referenced by the applied LCIA method(s)
    regarding e.g. correct assignment, coverage/gaps, doublecounting, etc. [Note: See also definition for entry "LCIA results".]
enumeration | Goal and scope definition |
    Review/verification is done regarding e.g. goal definition, subsequent scope definition and corresponding product system description, appropriate
    identification and definition of function and functional unit, system boundary and cut-off criteria setting, choice of appropriate LCI modelling principles and
    approaches for multi-functional processes.
