Very rarely. ISO 14044 compliance requires a level of documentation (detailed inventory, justification of allocations, handling uncertainties) that takes at least 12 to 15 expert-days. At an average of €800 per day, labour alone already reaches €9,600 to €12,000 excl. VAT. Below this threshold, it is either screening (not ISO-compliant), or an LCA whose documentation will not withstand a critical review.
