Used only for those LCIA methods, that make use of such information. This information refers to the entry within the same field in the "Process data set".Exchange directionDirection of exchange; this information refers to the entry within the same field in the "Process data set".Mean value ( of LCIA characterisation factor)Mean value of the impact characterisation factor for the exchange identified by the fields "Reference to flow data set", "Exchange direction" and "Location of direction". It is recommended to report only significant digits of the amount. ! If for an elementary flow its relevant contribution to this LCIA theme is known by state-of-the-art scientific knowledge, but no impact factor is provided in the LCIA method, the flow should nevertheless be referrenced and the mean value to be entered is "0"!Minimum valueMinimum value of the characterisation factor for the exchange in case uncertainty distribution is uniform or triangular.Maximum valueMaximum value of the characterisation factor for the exchange in case uncertainty distribution is uniform or triangular.Uncertainty distribution typeDefines the kind of uncertainty distribution that is valid for this particular object or parameter.Relative StdDev in %The resulting overall uncertainty of the calculated variable value considering uncertainty of measurements, modelling, appropriateness etc. [Notes: For log-normal distribution the square of the geometric standard deviation (SDg^2) is stated. Mean value times SDg^2 equals the 97.5% value (= Maximum value), Mean value divided by SDg^2 equals the 2.5% value (= Minimum value). For normal distribution the doubled standard deviation value (2*SD) is entered. Mean value plus 2*SD equals 97.5% value (= Maximum value), Mean value minus 2*SD equals 2.5% value (= Minimum value).
