ISO 15686 is the in development ISO standard dealing with service life planning.It is a decision process which addresses the development of the service life of a building component, building or other constructed work like a bridge or tunnel.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is sometimes referred to synonymously as life cycle analysis in the scholarly and agency report literatures. [7] [1] [8] Also, due to the general nature of an LCA study of examining the life cycle impacts from raw material extraction (cradle) through disposal (grave), it is sometimes referred to as "cradle-to-grave analysis".
Life-cycle assessment (LCA or life cycle analysis) is a technique used to assess potential environmental impacts of a product at different stages of its life. This technique takes a "cradle-to-grave" or a "cradle-to-cradle" approach and looks at environmental impacts that occur throughout the lifetime of a product from raw material extraction, manufacturing and processing, distribution, use ...
The outcomes of the IALCCE International Symposia are collected in a Book Series "Life-Cycle of Civil Engineering Systems", published by CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group. The proceedings published in this Series will serve as a valuable reference to all concerned with life-cycle performance of civil engineering systems.
The methodology to produce an EPD is based on product life cycle assessment (LCA), [2] following the ISO 14040 series of standards. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Companies may produce EPDs in order to understand the environmental impact of their products or services, differentiate their products on the market and demonstrate a commitment to limiting ...
An employee should be assigned to inspect equipment to insure proper safety. Equipment should have lights and reflectors if intended for night use. The glass in the cab of the equipment must be safety glass in some countries. [74] [75] The equipment must be used for its intended task at all times on the job site to insure workers' safety.
Certification is achieved by proving the functional safety capability (FSC) of the organization, usually by assessment of its functional safety management (FSM) program, and the assessment of the design and life-cycle activities of the product to be certified, which is conducted based on specifications, design documents, test specifications and ...
The first stages of the life cycle involve assessing the potential system hazards and estimating the risk they pose. One such method is fault tree analysis.. This is followed by a safety requirements specification which is concerned with identifying safety-critical functions (functional requirements specification) and the safety integrity level for each of these functions.
