The 2nd PCF World Forum Round Table Product Category Rules continues to address international alignment and harmonisation of product/ sector rules for product carbon footprints and environmental life-cycle assessments. The Round Table is an outcome of a dialogue process that was sparked off at the 3rd PCF World Summit to explore how transparency and alignment can be promoted in product category/ sector rule development. The on-going discussion involves representatives from major national and international PCR programs and standards. Current status and approaches to increased international alignment of PCRs/ sector rules will be discussed.
