Definitions

Cradle to gate	Activities/processes from extraction of materials up to delivery in the production site
Cradle to grave	Activities/processes from extraction of materials to end-of-life (over the entire life-cycle)
Cut-off criteria	Specification of the amount of material or energy flow or the level of environmental significance associated with unit processes or product system to be excluded from a study
Functional unit	Quantified performance of a product system for use as reference unit (in this quantified implies measurable)
Gate to gate	Activities/processes performed by the organisation in charge of the production or assembly
Ground Support Equipment	Non flight product (hardware/software) used on ground to assemble, integrate, test, transport, access, handle, maintain, measure, calibrate, verify, protect or service a flight product (hardware/software)
Loading factor	Percentage of space or mass occupied by the item
Process block	Refers to either one of the process groups described in ECSS-Q-ST-70C or to your defined processes
Process flow	End-to-End manufacturing process flow
System boundaries	Refers to the unit processes included in the LCA

Lifecycle model (product system)

The questionnaire allows the user to define one or more product systems, defined as lifecycle models containing multiple process. Each of these processes shall be defined completely, with inputs and outputs. The lifecycle model defines the correlation between its included processes.

Click “+” button to add a lifecycle model. You can add multiple lifecycle models.
