The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) consists of an international methodology that quantifies the energy and environmental impacts associated with the goods and services that are designed and manufactured, detecting areas for improvement through the study of the complete life cycle of the product. The performance of an LCA is based on the ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards.

Reference standards:

ISO 14040: 2006 Environmental management: Life cycle assessment - Principles and framework.
ISO 14044: 2006 Environmental management: Life cycle assessment - Requirements and guidelines
