Primes¶
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
- LCA is not a regulatory substitute — while LCA is incorporated into regulatory requirements (EU Product Environmental Footprint labeling, LEED certification, carbon taxes), LCA conclusions depend on boundary assumptions and data that reflect current conditions; regulatory application requires explicit methodology rules to ensure comparability and prevent gaming, a point Curran (2017) emphasizes in her treatment of goal and scope definition as the load-bearing methodology step.
This sourceTreats the goal-and-scope phase as the load-bearing methodology step that fixes functional unit, system boundary, allocation rules, and comparability constraints for regulatory and decision contexts.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
