摘要: The main goal of the European product environmental footprint (PEF) method is to increase comparability impacts products within certain categories by decreasing flexibility and therefore achieving reproducibility results. Comparability supposed be further increased developing category specific rules (PEFCRs). aim this paper evaluate if PEF has been achieved. This done a comprehensive analysis guide, current PEFCR developed PEFCRs, as well insights gained from participating in pilot phase. reveals that its implementation PEFCRs are not able guarantee fair due shortcomings related (1) definition performance; (2) category; (3) determination representative product; (4) modeling electricity; (5) requirements for use secondary data; (6) circular formula; (7) life cycle impact assessment methods; (8) approach prioritize categories. For some these shortcomings, recommendations improvement provided. demonstrates improved comparability.
