| Art der quantitativen Referenz | Type of quantitative reference | @type | r | TypeOfQuantitativeReferenceValues Reference flow(s) One or more of the data set's inputs or outputs is identified as quantiative reference flow. This covers the 14048 types of quantitative references "Reference flow of process", "Outgoing product flow", "Incoming product flow", "Other flow". E.g. ['Electricity; 220V; to consumer; AC' - '1 MJ']. E.g. for multi-functional processes e.g. ['Wheat grains; at farm; 16% H2O' - '1 kg'] and also ['Wheat straw; at farm; 14% H2O' - '0.9 kg']. Functional unit The functional unit of the process may relate to the process' performance expressed without referring to a flow. E.g. "Protective coating of 1 m2 of car surface acc. to XY specifications for 15 years". One or more functional unit entries can be given in addition to a reference flow. Other parameter Other information items quantify the process' reference. E.g. "Input of 1 MJ fuel oils" into an energy conversion process, which might be represented by two different fuels in the inputs/outputs, but which are inventoried individually and in kg (e.g. as 0.015 kg light fuel oil and 0,018 kg heavy fuel oil).

Appropriateness of system boundaries, cut-off rules, LCI modelling choices such as e.g. allocation, consistency of included processes and of LCI methodology. If the data set comprises pre-calculated LCIA results, the correspondence of the Input and Output elementary flows (including their geographical validity) with the applied LCIA method(s) should be addressed by the reviewer.
