Value choices and optional elements The weighting process will be conducted to show the
preference of each criterion. The preference will reflect on
the final results of LCSA
Data quality requirements A data quality assessment with 6 criteria will be conducted
for the data collected. The criteria are completeness,
parameter uncertainty, methodological appropriateness
and consistency, technological, geographical, and time-
related representativeness
