What it proves

A lifecycle assessment or supporting study exists for the product, product family, or declared scope.

That the result is comparable without functional unit, boundary, method, geography, and review checks.

Minimum authority: Third-party verified
Should state: Study Scope · Functional Unit · System Boundary · Method · Review Status
Date sensitivity: Expiry is not the primary issue; check scope and method instead.

LCA reports and EPDs are related but not interchangeable; preserve exact document type and review status.
