T/CMA CC198-2024 Product carbon footprint data quality control general requirements

Scope

Main technical content: The formulation of the "General Requirements for Data Quality Control of Product Carbon Footprints" aims to standardize and unify the data quality in the process of product carbon footprint accounting, ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and transparency of the accounting results. This document specifies the requirements for the collection, verification, allocation, and calculation of product carbon footprint accounting data, as well as their updating and protection, and quality evaluation. It provides a set of scientific and standardized operation guidelines for relevant industries and enterprises. Through the implementation of this document, it will help improve the management level of carbon footprints for key products in China, promote the green and low-carbon transformation of related industries, guide green and low-carbon consumption, and provide strong support for achieving the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. At the same time, this standard will also provide an important basis for China to play an active role in the international carbon footprint field and promote the widespread application of domestic and international carbon footprint mutual recognition and carbon labeling. This document adopts a method consistent with the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) standards (GB/T 24040 and GB/T 24044) and stipulates the general requirements for data quality in the quantification of product carbon footprints (CFP) and partial product carbon footprints (PCFP). This document is applicable to the control of the data quality of product carbon footprints and partial product carbon footprints, and its provisions can serve as a basis for various product carbon footprint studies.
