EN15804 database for modelling EPD in SimaPro
The ecoinvent allocation, cut-off EN15804 (version 3.10) is now available for SimaPro users. This system model is fully compliant with ISO 14025, ISO 21930 and EN15804+A2:2019. It provides all Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) indicators required by the aforementioned standards. Furthermore, it adheres to the end-of-waste criteria set by the European Commission. The model can be used for all types of environmental product declarations (EPD).
What's included in the EN 15804 model?
With the implementation for SimaPro users, we provide the following:
1. ecoinvent, cut-off, EN15804 system model datasets, as library projects (both unit and system)
2. EN15804+A2 LCIA impact assessment & LCI indicators method, as one method that facilitates calculating the Environmental Footprint (EF)-based impact assessment and additional indicators in one go.
3. an extensive user manual regarding installation and use
The database can be used independently (i.e, as a standalone database), or you can import it to your current SimaPro Professional database, alongside other ecoinvent system models. For the latter case, we also provide a replacement file to help you update your projects from the allocation, cut-off by classification system model (version 3.10) to allocation, cut-off, EN15804 system model.
