352 5 Life Cycle Interpretation, Reporting and Critical Review

The study is subject to a Critical Review according to ISO 14040:1997 Section
7.3.3.
The reviewers are
• Dipl. Univ. – Chemist (M.Sc.) Paul W. Gilgen (Chairman), Department Man-
ager; c/o Eidgen̈ ossische Materialpr¨ ufungs- und Versuchsanstalt (EMPA),
Unterland Straße 129, 8600 D¨ ubendorf, Switzerland
• Hans J¨ urgen Garvens (employee of the Federal Environmental Agency) Wolf-
gang Heinz Straße 54, 13125 Berlin, FRG.

Within this accompanying (interactive) critical review, the reviewer communi-
cated with the practitioner of the study and with the advisory board and discussed
their results in view of a concluding report in the course of several meetings.
In the final critical review report, which is part of the final study, the study
was evaluated by the experts as of excellent quality. Since the critical reviewers
themselves are LCA experts, methodological objectives were also discussed in
addition to the test criteria required according to ISO 14044 and formulated as
recommendations for subsequent studies.
