TRANSCRIPT
Cycleco has created a textile LCI database of more than 180 datasets. Currently, around thirty
datasets were converted into ILCD format and uploaded on the Life Cycle Data Network.
New data will regularly supply the database.
Method: Compliance with ISO 14040 and 14044 methodological requirement. Deviations
from the method have to be documented.
Data quality: No data quality is required in the "entry-level" but he data quality has to be
assessed using the ISO criteria and documented.
Nomenclature: ILCD elementary )ows have to be used. The ILCD Handbook provides
guidance rules for the name and classi,cation of processes, sources, )ows and units.
Documentation: Documentation must be written in the ILCD format and certain infor-
mation must be provided to meet the "entry-level" requirement.
Review: A critical review report have to be done, at least by an independent reviewer that
has to ful,ll the three quali,cations of ISO 14025.
Life Cycle Data Network Meeting the "entry-level" requirement is the key to ensure a certain level of quality, to keep
a consistent database and to be accepted on the Life Cycle Data Network.
Interested in publishing your data? Cycleco o1ers its expertise to assist the companies that wish to provide data on the Life
Cycle Data Network. Indeed, Cycleco has all the skills regarding the management of the web
infrastructure, the data conversion and the documentation in ILCD format.
CONTEXT & OBJECTIVE It is recognized that the quality of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) relies partly on the quality of the data it uses. Otherwise, data of good quality
are rarely easy to ,nd. In order to improve the availability of LCA data, the European Commission has created an IT infrastructure: the Life Cycle
Data Network (LCDN). Its aim is to gather data from di1erent providers. All data have to respect some guidelines to be available in the Life Cycle
Data Network to ensure the uniformity in terms of methodology and quality of the data. Cycleco is involved in this project by providing textile
datasets.
Entry-Level requirements

Paul Lautridou1, Sandrine Pesnel1 and Jérôme Payet1 1Cycleco
Textile Database Methodology
Collect industrial data and complete
it with litterature data
Modeling and calculation
of inventories
Documentation (in ILCD format)
Cycleco works with more than 80
companies over the world to develop
the textile database.
Use of LCA expert software.
Conversion done according to the map-
ping of )ows.
Completion of the entry-level docu-
mentation (complete and detailed
metadata in english) - Review and vali-
dation of inventories according to the
"entry level" mode of ILCD.
Where to 3nd the textile data?

Spin’It All LCI for textile are already available in Spin’IT, the LCA software developed by
CYCLECO for the textile sector. The extension of the textile database to a broader
coverage of materials and processes is a constant e1ort of Cycleco.

Upload on node and submission to
Life Cycle Data Network
A node is a web-based platform where
the data producer manages its datasets
before asking for their registration in the
Life Cycle Data Newtork.
