Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Independent LCA verification services by Eurocert Asia — strengthen sustainability reporting, ESG goals, and environmental transparency.
Service Overview
Understanding Life Cycle Assessment
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a globally recognised methodology used to evaluate environmental impacts across the entire life cycle of a product, process, or system — from raw material extraction to manufacturing, distribution, usage, and end-of-life.
Eurocert Asia supports organisations with independent LCA verification services aligned with internationally recognised ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards. Our services help organisations strengthen sustainability reporting, improve environmental transparency, support ESG goals, and build credibility with regulators, procurement teams, investors, and global markets.
What is LCA?
LCA is a scientific methodology used to measure and evaluate environmental impacts throughout a complete life cycle. Studies are commonly used for ESG reporting, sustainability disclosures, green product development, carbon reduction initiatives, and environmental compliance programs.
- Raw material extraction
- Energy consumption
- Water usage
- Carbon emissions
- Waste generation
- Transportation impacts
- Manufacturing impacts
- End-of-life disposal or recycling
