January 2016 Characterization factor

Question

Dear OpenLCA team,
I am working to complete an EPD study, I would like to know if there is a new pack for CML characterization factors, since the last one available for download is updated to January 2015 while the EPD system requires update to January 2016.
How can I overcome this problem?
Thank you,

Best regards,

Simona

Hi Simona,
we are working on a larger update of the LCIA methods; it should be out soon but not this year. In meantime, you can *maybe* create an updated version yourself for the EPD (since some EPD systems even publish the factors to be applied, and focus on some few categories), or also contact us.
Thank you!
