In all PCR development steps, we not only depend on individuals and organisations that have LCA and project management expert skills, we also highly depend on market/industry experts. The PCR moderators warmly invite you to share your expertise when creating and shaping our future PCRs.
To get involved, please contact the Secretariat for guidance.
The following draft PCRs are currently open for public feedback.
In case you want to share your comments on any of the draft PCRs, please submit your comments to the PCR Moderator or the Secretariat using below template.
