Yes, especially for internal eco-design: ISO 14040/14044 LCA leaves explicit methodological choices to the practitioner, allowing it to be adapted to any product to decide between a material or process. In the absence of an identified or likely requirement within 18 months, it is the recommended flexible foundation, and supplier data collected will remain valid for a future requirement, since 80% of the work is shared by LCA, PEF and product carbon footprint. If a PEF or CFP requirement is coming within 12 months, it is better to start directly with the target method to avoid redoing modelling.
