Bug-fixes
25 May 2010: Some errors in the ELCD II DB have been fixed and the database has been technically serviced. Note that the package also includes the bugfixes/servicings of the ILCD Reference Objects. For details follow these hyperlinks: ELCD II bug-fix and servicing report and ILCD Reference Object bugfix and servicing report.
13 October and 18 November 2009: Some errors have been fixed in some of the data sets in the downloadable ELCD II database zip file (accessible from 26 June to 13 October 2009). For details follow the hyperlink inserted below. These errors will also be fixed asap in the files that are displayed in your web-browser when browsing the data sets online (via the menu entry "Browse and view"). Please do not use those figures but only the ones in the downloadable package:
- Relevant errors in non-parameterised transport data sets (Details see the bug-fix report of 13 October 2009)
- At the same time the data sets for Liquid Packaging Board and for Beverage carton converting are erroneous and have been temporarily removed from the zip file. They will be replaced soon with corrected versions. In case you have previously downloaded the database that contains these erroneous two data sets (accessible online from 26 June to 13 October 2009) please do not use anymore these two data sets. Details will be provided here asap in a bug-fix report.
Disclaimer: Please note that so far only internally reviewed and only partly harmonised LCI data sets are provided in this second version of the ELCD database. All data sets are carefully selected, of high quality and in line with ISO 14040 and 14044, but are not to be considered as official reference data sets. The data sets are provided "as they are". A further methodological harmonisation and independent review are foreseen as soon as the recommended methods and the review process will have been internationally agreed as part of the International Reference Life Cycle Data System ILCD Handbook (foreseen to be available in late 2009). This will be announced here. Please also refer to the "Important legal notice" on top of this page.
