Introduction

Analysis of the core content of the standard

This standard establishes a complete set of industrial robot Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology system, which includes 4 key stages:

Stage	Core task	Output results
Purpose Scope Determination	Define functional units and system boundaries	Assessment Scope Statement
Inventory Analysis (LCI)	Quantify input and output data	Material/energy flow inventory
Impact Assessment (LCIA)	Environmental impact type modeling	Characterization results
Result interpretation	Data quality verification	Improvement suggestion report

Key technical elements

1. System boundary definition

The standard requires coverage of the entire chain of raw material mining→production and manufacturing→use and maintenance→waste recycling, with the following highlights:

Required units: metal material processing, servo motor production, assembly line energy consumption
Optional units: factory infrastructure, office facilities (negligible)

2. Data quality control

A 5-level scoring system (full score 15 points) is used to evaluate data reliability:

Dimension	Weight	Rating Criteria
Source	5 points	Field data＞Literature＞Others
Type	5 points	Measurement＞Calculation＞Estimation
Timeliness	5 points	Within 5 years＞Within 10 years＞More than 10 years

Note: Data with a score of <5 requires sensitivity analysis

Implementation Suggestions

1. Enterprise application path

Phase-based advancement: Prioritize LCA of key components (such as reducers)
Data collection: Establish a production ledger system to record energy consumption/material data
Tool selection: It is recommended to use professional LCA software such as SimaPro/GaBi

2. Industry collaboration

It is recommended that industry associations establish an industrial robot LCA database to unify the following parameters:

Typical six-axis robot functional unit: 3kg load/1m arm span
Characterization factors (such as CO₂ equivalent conversion coefficient)

Technology evolution analysis

The progress of this standard compared with GB/T 32813-2016:

Improvements	Old standard	GB/T 38835-2020
Scope of application	General machinery	Specially for industrial robots
Impact types	5 categories	Expanded to 8 categories (new noise hazards, etc.)
Data quality	Qualitative description	Quantitative scoring system
