Hello,
For products with multiple components compliant with sustainable criteria that arrive at the project site ready for installation (ex : a chair) :
1) To apply the location valuation factor, does the product has to be entirely local (all its components)? If yes, I think it is in contradiction with the example p.536 of the reference guide which evaluate the regional criteria separately for each component of the product.
2) If no, how to enter it in the BDPO calculator? If I break down the product into multiple lines corresponding to each component in the BDPO calculator, it is not possible to value the product’s EPD.

What is it with page 536!? :-DAs I suggested above, follow the rules, not the examples.

We are interested in calculating the location valuation for products with multiple components, such as CIP concrete, too. Does the product have to be entirely local?
