The impact assessment in the study is conducted on the basis of the
following impact categories 63) :
A) Resource-related categories
• demand of fossil resources,
• land use (forest),
B) Emission-related categories
• greenhouse effect,
• terrestrial eutrophication,
• acidification,
• summer smog (as Photo-oxidant creation potential, POCP),
• aquatic eutrophication.

2.3.2.9 Methods of Interpretation
According to the definition of rules referring to the demarcation of the examined
system to the system surrounding, rules have also be defined concerning the
weighting of environmental loads in the phase ‘Interpretation’. Since these rules
are only discussed in Chapters 4 and 5, the definitions in the sample study are
detailed there.

2.3.2.10 Critical Review
Since the critical review is discussed in Chapter 5, annotations in the sample study
on its implementation are given in Section 5.6.
