T/CMEPCA 061-2025 Greenhouse gas, methods and requirements for quantifying the carbon footprint of products, and circuit breaker

Scope

Scope: This document specifies the methods and requirements for quantifying the carbon footprint (CFP) and partial carbon footprint (PCFP) of circuit breaker products in a manner consistent with the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) standards (GB/T 24040 and GB/T 24044), including aspects such as the purpose and scope of quantification, inventory analysis, target and system boundaries, data collection, accounting summary, and evaluation report preparation. This document is applicable to the accounting and quantification of the carbon footprint (CFP) and partial carbon footprint (PCFP) of circuit breaker products, as well as their evaluation. The results can be applied in various scenarios. Carbon offsetting and the exchange of information on the carbon footprint or partial carbon footprint of products are not within the scope of this document. This document focuses solely on a single impact category, namely climate change, and does not evaluate other potential environmental impacts of circuit breaker product life cycles or the social and economic impacts that may arise during their life cycles. Main Technical Content: This document specifies the methods and requirements for quantifying the carbon footprint (CFP) and partial carbon footprint (PCFP) of circuit breaker products in a manner consistent with the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) standards (GB/T 24040 and GB/T 24044), including aspects such as the purpose and scope of quantification, inventory analysis, target and system boundaries, data collection, accounting summary, and evaluation report preparation.
