This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to conduct a life cycle assessment (LCA) to investigate and evaluate the human health and environmental impacts arising from the provision of a product, process or service.
A LCA is a systematic process that provides an estimation of the cumulative impacts and trade-offs resulting from all stages in the entire life cycle of the product, process or service, thereby facilitating informed decision-making to improve performance.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement but users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority.
