What is PD CEN/TS 17276 - Application of EN ISO 14044:2006 to Manufactured Nanomaterials about?
PD CEN/TS 17276 discusses the life cycle assessment of manufactured nanomaterials on basis of the application of EN ISO 14044:2006. PD CEN/TS 17276 provides guidelines for the application of Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) of specific relevance to manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs), including their use in other products, according to EN ISO 14044:2006.
The structure of PD CEN/TS 17276 follows the structure of EN ISO 14044:2006 and is like the related technical reports from ISO [4], [5], showing illustrative examples on how to apply the various steps of the LCA framework.
Note: PD CEN/TS 17276 does not cover incidental nanomaterials.
Who is PD CEN/TS 17276 - Application of EN ISO 14044:2006 to Manufactured Nanomaterials for?
PD CEN/TS 17276 life cycle assessment of manufactured nanomaterials on basis of the application of EN ISO 14044:2006 is useful for:
- Manufacturers of nanomaterials
- Test centers for nanomaterials
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17276 - Application of EN ISO 14044:2006 to Manufactured Nanomaterials?
Three examples are provided to illustrate the application of LCA to products that contain manufactured nanomaterials. Examples are nano-silver-treated textiles, nano-enhanced façade coating, and CNT enhanced electronics. The selected examples are amongst the most comprehensive LCA studies of manufactured nanomaterials published to date (i.e., mid - 2017).
PD CEN/TS 17276 guideline assists you with Life cycle Inventory Data, exposure assessment, toxicity assessment, impact assessment, LCIA methodology, life cycle inventory analysis, life cycle impact assessment, and life cycle interpretation for life cycle assessment on basis of the application of EN ISO 14044:2006 to manufactured nanomaterials.
This supports in conduction of a proper life cycle assessment of manufactured nanomaterials on basis of the application of EN ISO 14044:2006 to obtain reliable results that are also comparable to other laboratories.
