Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

constitute an endorsement.

Annex D
(informative)
Allocation procedures
D.1 General
Allocation refers to the partitioning of the inputs or outputs of a process or product system between
the product system under study and one or more other product systems.
A stepwise allocation procedure is described in 4.3.4.2 and several examples of the procedure are
presented in ISO/TR 14049:2012, Clauses 6, 7 and 8.
This annex provides additional information to assist understanding of the subject for situations where
it is not possible to apply 4.3.4.2, step 1, option 1.
Allocation methods reflect value choices, intentionally or unintentionally. Such value choices can
influence LCA results and the conclusions of LCA studies.
In addition, data needs can vary among methods, which can have an influence on the applicability of
the method.
D.2 Expanding the product system
D.2.1 General
Expanding the product system to include additional functions related to the co-products (see 4.3.4.2,
step 1, option 2) can be a means of avoiding allocation.
NOTE 1 The concept of expanding the product system to include additional functions related to the co-
products can also be referred to as system expansion or expanding the system boundary.
Therefore, the product system that is substituted by the co-product is integrated in the product
system under study. In practice, the co-products are compared to other substitutable products, and
the environmental burdens associated with the substituted product(s) are subtracted from the
product system under study (see Figure 1). The identification of this substituted system is done in
the same way as the identification of the upstream system for intermediate product inputs. See also
ISO/TR 14049:2012, 6.4.
The application of system expansion involves an understanding of the market for the co-products.
Decisions about system expansion can be improved through understanding the way co-products
compete with other products, as well as the effects of any product substitution upon production
practices in the industries impacted by the co-products.
Important considerations relating to the identification of product systems substituted by co-products
include whether:
— specific markets and technologies are affected;
— the production volume of the studied product systems fluctuates in time;
— a specific unit process is affected directly.
ISO 14044:2006/Amd.2:2020(E)
If applicable, when the inputs are delivered through a market, it is also important to know:
— whether any of the processes or technologies supplying the market are constrained, in which case
their output does not change in spite of changes in demand;
— which of the unconstrained suppliers/technologies has the highest or lowest production costs and,
therefore, is the supplier/technology affected when the demand for the
...
