N2 - The goal definition
is the first phase of an LCA
and determines the purpose of a study in detail. This chapter teaches how to perform the six aspects of a goal definition: (1) Intended applications
of the results, (2) Limitations
due to methodological choices, (3) Decision context
and reasons for carrying out the study, (4) Target audience
, (5) Comparative studies
to be disclosed to the public and (6) Commissioner
of the study and other influential actors. The instructions address both the conduct and reporting of a goal definition and are largely based on the ILCD guidance document (EC-JRC in European Commission—Joint Research Centre—Institute for Environment and Sustainability: International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) Handbook—General Guide for Life Cycle Assessment—Detailed Guidance. Publications Office of the European Union, Luxembourg 2010).
