Note: Every entry of the characterized impact matrix is now divided by the total
impact of the product system and expressed as a percentage of the total.
Interpretasi
1. Interpretasi LCA menggunakan prosedur yang sistematis untuk
mengidentifikasi, menguji , memeriksa, mengevaluasi dan menyajikan
kesimpulan berdasarkan temuan dari LCA, dalam rangka memenuhi
persyaratan untuk penerapan sebagaimana dijelaskan dalam tujuan dan
lingkup kajian
2. Interpretasi menggunakan prosedur yang berulang baik dalam tahap
interpretasi maupun tahap lain dalam LCA
3. Interpretasi daur hidup membuat ketentuan yang mengkaitkan LCA
dengan Teknik lain dalam hal pengelolaan lingkungan dengan
menekankan pada kekuatan dan kelemahan LCA dalam hubungannya
dengan definisi tujuan dan lingkup
4. Interpretasi adalah integrasi dari hasil LCI dan LCIA yang kemudian
digunakan untuk mengkaji menarik kesimpulan dan rekomendasi yang
konsisten dengan tujuan dan lingkup yang telah ditentukan
Rekomendasi
1. Identifikasi isu penting berdasarkan hasil tahap LCI dan
LCIA dari LCA
2. Evaluasi yang mempertimbangkan pemeriksaan
kelengkapan, sensitivitas dan konsistensi.
3. Menggambarkan kegiatan pemeriksaan kelengkapan dari
studi LCA dan apakah kesimpulan tersebut sudah sesuai
dengan kebutuhan data dan asumsi yang didefinisikan
dalan tujuan dan lingkup kajian.

Review dan validasi [1]
The general requirements of the ISO standards are:
1. A life cycle assessment shall include the goal and
scope definition, inventory analysis, impact
assessment, and interpretation of results.
2. Systems shall be compared using the same
functional unit and equivalent methodological
considerations such as performance, system
boundaries, data quality, allocation procedures,
decision rules and impact assessment
Review dan validasi [2]
The goal shall: Unambiguously state the intended application, including
the reasons for carrying out the study and the intended audience, i.e. to
whom the results of the study are intended to be communicated.
Review dan validasi [3]
The scope shall clearly describe:
1. The functional unit,
2. The systems to be studied,
3. The system boundaries, and criteria used in establishing system boundaries
and the justification of these criteria,
4. Allocation procedures,
5. The impact categories,
6. The methodology for impact assessment and interpretation,
7. Initial data and data quality requirements,
8. Assumptions and limitations,
9. The type of critical review, if any, and who to conduct the review,
10. The type of format of the report
Review dan validasi [5]
The Impact Assessment
The characterization and the characterization factors shall
be documented in a transparent manner and value-choices
and assumptions made during the selection and definition
of impact categories shall be identified and justified.
The interpretation
1. Before interpreting the results, the equivalence of the systems being compared shall be
evaluated.
2. The result of a life cycle assessment shall be interpreted in relation to the goal and
scope of the study.
3. During the study, sensitivity analysis shall be used to determine the system boundaries
4. Explicit consideration shall be given to the possible limitations of the conclusion
5. The precision, completeness and representativeness of all data shall be assessed.

Integration of uncertainty management into LCA practice
Tier 0: Minimum transparency with a clear definition of what is considered a
notable difference between scenarios for each impact category;
Tier 1: Screening level focusing on identification of important sources of
parameter uncertainty providing information on importance and sensitivity
of parameters , choice s, assumptions, etc.;
Tier 2: Qualitative and semi quantitative uncertainty assessment of important
source s o f uncertainty with systematic identification and description of
uncertainties for all parameters , choices and assumptions including
parameter and scenario uncertainty;
Tier 3: Quantitative uncertainty assessment of all source s of uncertainty with
systematic quantification of uncertainties and variability for all parameters,
choices and assumptions accounting for all quantifiable uncertainties;
Tier 4: Fully probabilistic LCA representing all relevant source s of influence by
fully characterized uncertainty and variability separately.
