Data Collection

Could you please provide a concrete data requirements template or sample dataset showing exactly what input data our IT and Data teams need to provide in One Click LCA for an EN 15804-compliant EPD for air- and wind-tightness construction materials, such as membranes and tapes, covering all relevant compliant life-cycle modules, including required fields, units, granularity, data sources, evidence, and import format?

Hi Janik,

For EN 15804+A2 compliance on your membranes and tapes, you need to transition your data from a standard procurement list to an LCA-ready Bill of Materials (BOM). The objective is to map primary site-specific data (not generic estimates) across the full life-cycle modules.

To succeed, your teams should structure their data imports into this core schema:

  • Primary Material Inputs: Mass (kg) of raw polymers/adhesives + release liners.

  • Operational Inputs: Energy (kWh) and fuels (MJ) used specifically on the production line.

  • Logistics & Packaging: Transport distance (km) and packaging materials (kg/pallet).

  • End-of-Life: Waste management pathways (e.g., landfill vs. incineration) per EN 15804 default scenarios.

We can directly import .csv. Here the full template (https://help.oneclicklca.com/en/articles/275801-using-the-epd-data-collection-import-form) to help your IT team get started.
