✦ Synopsis

This appendix gives an overview of the calculation procedure to estimate the contributions of environmental burdens identified in the Inventory Analysis phase to the different impact categories. The procedure is based on the problem-oriented approach 1 . All impact categories are normalised to the functional unit. The numerical values of the classification factors of some of the burdens are given in Table A2.
