Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss the computational aspects of the phases and elements of the ISO-framework for LCA which may take place after the inventory analysis. In principle, this concerns the phases impact assessment and interpretation. However, by treating the statistical analysis of the inventory analysis in the previous chapter, as an integral aspect of the inventory analysis, a substantial part of the theoretical part of the interpretation has already been discussed. Moreover, a large number of issues for interpretation deal with procedures, quality checks or reiterations of previous steps. Those issues obviously fall outside the scope of this book. This chapter thus deals with the impact assessment, including its statistical analysis, and selected elements of the interpretation.
