Family of Products Extrapolation Rules
To determine the environmental impact of a product covered by the PEP other than the representative product, the following rules apply:
- Manufacturing stage: The impact is proportional to the product's weight. Impacts are calculated by multiplying the coefficients factor_1 (from Table 5) by the environmental impact for this phase of the representative product.
- Distribution: The impact is proportional to the packaged product weight. Impacts are calculated by multiplying the coefficients factor_2 (from Table 5) by the environmental impact for this phase of the representative product.
- Installation: The impact is proportional to the product packaging weight. Impacts are calculated by multiplying the coefficients factor_3 (from Table 5) by the environmental impact for this phase of the representative product.
- Use: The environmental impact for the use stage (B1-B6) is proportional to the electricity used. Impacts are calculated by multiplying factor_4 (from Table 5) by the environmental impact for this phase of the representative product.
- End of life phases: The impact is proportional to the product's weight. Impacts are calculated by multiplying the coefficients factor_1 (from Table 5) by the environmental impact for this phase of the representative product.
