46 -The Vendor determines the required CEC KPIs in accordance with the CEC requirements, and on their own.
47 -
48 -The Vendor ensures that amongst others the following conditions are met:
49 -
50 -* Energy Consumption values are determined using the EcoInvent method Cumulative Energy Demand
51 -* CO2 footprint values are determined using the EcoInvent method IPCC 2021
52 -* Material Consumption values are determined taking into account the total direct inputs into the process, and consider reject rates as well as production wastes such as punch grids.
53 -* Full records of measurements and calculations are retained and kept available for the CEC Assessment process.
54 -
55 -Note that CEC Administration does not provide support nor provides guidance to the Vendor for determining the CEC KPIs. It is the Vendor's sole responsibility to determine the CEC KPIs in accordance with the CEC Requirements and to create and retain sufficient documentation.
56 -
57 -Note also that calculations made with webpages using unknown or not well documented calculation methods, or lookup tables to determine CO2 footprint are not accepted sufficient evidence.
58 -
59 -Unless the Vendor has their own department experienced with LCA projects, it is very likely that the Vendor will need to entertain and external LCA consultancy to correctly determine the CEC KPIs.
