Hello,I downloaded the OpenLCA LCIA Methods from OpenLCA Nexus. After importing them

into OpenLCA, I found that the UUIDs of the elementary flows do not match the UUIDs of the

elementary flows specified by ILCD downloaded from EPLCA. So, may I ask if this LCIA Method

does not comply with the ILCD - EL requirements?

Looking forward to your reply.

The "original" ILCD datasets from EPLCA have quite some issues, we recommend to use the EF database that we distribute in Nexus instead; in this database, we have curated the datasets as far as we could. You need to use the orignal EF LCIA method that we also distribute with the EF database. EPLCA / EF data are on purpose similar to a silo, not fitting to other methods and reference flow systems, therefore the normal openLCA LCIA methods will not fit.

Hope this helps, Andreas
