Notice: this data set supersedes the EF3.0-compliant version (see link under "preceding data set version" below calculated with the EF3.0). The life cycle inventory is not changed from the original EF3.0 data set. The LCIA results are calculated based on the EF3.1 methods which provide updated characterisation factors in the following impact categories: Climate Change, Ecotoxicity freshwater, Photochemical Ozone Formation, Acidification, Human Toxicity non-cancer, and Human Toxicity cancer. The review report and the data quality ratings refer to the original results. The data set has been updated by the European Commission on the basis of the original EF3.0 data set delivered by the data provider. Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) dataset to be used for implementing regular Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) studies and Organisation Environmental Footprint (OEF) studies. This dataset has been developed by an industry association and has not been officially tendered by EC. The datasets are specifically designed for these methodological requirements (see above) and the related LCIA methods (listed below) recommended in EF.

General comment
The data set covers all relevant process steps / technologies over the supply chain of the represented cradle to gate inventory with a very good overall data quality. The inventory is based on representative industry data collected for HSPA (Hydrocarbon Solvent Producers Association) and the following member companies: ExxonMobil, Belgium; Haltermann Carless, UK; Hellenic Petroleum, Greece. This primary data is completed by secondary background datasets. The dataset is a mix for many distinct substances falling under category 3 of the HSPA "Substance identification and naming convention for hydrocarbon solvents"
