Terms of reference for the IWG on A-LCA, which will develop an internationally harmonised procedure to determine the carbon footprint of automotive products across their life cycle from production to use and disposal. Working items include defining scope according to ISO 14040, conducting inventory analysis, and defining the format and minimum contents of the A-LCA report. The IWG mandate ends in December 2026, with possible adoption of the resolution by WP.29 in November 2026. The group is open to all experts from any country or organisation of WP.29, chaired by Japan and Republic of Korea, with technical secretaries from OICA, E-Mobility Europe, and Japan.
