This new subcommittee is part of the committee developing the LEO-SCS-002 standard for Type III Life-Cycle Impact Profile Declarations for Materials, Products, Services and Systems. This standard is providing a framework for lifecycle impact assessment that augments the international ISO-14044 LCA standard to support environmental declarations, ratings and claims. It is being developed under the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) process, as facilitated by the Leonardo Academy, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing sustainability and environmental stewardship. The ANSI process stresses multi-stakeholder participation and transparency. The product category rules (PCRs) and comparative product category rules (C-PCRs) being developed will address building materials and systems, covering the details of how to calculate the environmental impacts of products in these categories under the LEO-SCS-002 standard. Anyone interested in applying to participate on this subcommittee should fill out and submit a subcommittee application form. The subcommittee application form can be downloaded from the Leonardo Academy web site at: .
