T/CNFPIA 4010-2023 Evaluation of Carbon Footprint and Carbon Labeling for Wood-Based Panel Products

Scope

Scope: This document specifies the requirements for the evaluation and carbon labeling of wood-based panel products, including terms and definitions, product carbon footprint calculation, product carbon footprint evaluation and carbon label issuance, use and supervision, etc. This document is applicable to guiding wood-based panel production enterprises in conducting product carbon footprint evaluations. Finished wood-based panel production enterprises may refer to and implement it accordingly. Main technical content: Terms and definitions. The following terms and definitions apply to this document. - Wood-based panel: A panel or molded product made from wood or non-wood plant fiber materials as the main raw materials, processed into various material units and applied with (or without) adhesives and other additives. - Product carbon footprint (CFP): The sum of greenhouse gas emissions and removals of a product system, based on a life cycle assessment that only considers the impact of climate change and expressed in CO2 equivalents. - Carbon labeling: A product carbon footprint label located on the product, indicating the product's carbon footprint in accordance with the requirements of the product carbon footprint disclosure. - Carbon asset: Quota emission rights, emission reduction credits, and related activities generated under mandatory or voluntary carbon emission rights trading mechanisms that directly or indirectly affect an organization's greenhouse gas emissions. - Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG emissions): The total amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere during a specific period of time (expressed in mass units). - Activity data: A representation of the amount of production or consumption activities that result in greenhouse gas emissions, such as the consumption of various fossil fuels, the use of raw materials, purchased electricity, and purchased heat. - Emission factor: A coefficient that represents the greenhouse gas emiss
