Methods and tools used for each assessment in SURPASS, inventoried in the frame of T4.1

Methods and tools used for each assessment in SURPASS are inventoried in the frame of T4.1. This inventory is divided in three main sections:1. The identification contains a SURPASS identification code, the name of the method or tool, the name of the owner, a description, a link towards the method description or the tool, the type of organization (Industry or industrial group, Industrial association, Government or government agency, Research organization, Research project, Regulator, Standardization organization or Other source) and the corresponding stage of assessment (middle, late, middle or late).2. The classification contains the resource type (Method, Tool or Other), the subscription type (Free/open source or Fees applied), the type of SSbD assessment (Hazard, Exposure during production, Exposure during use, Environmental, Economic, Social, Recyclability, All or Several), the degree of plastic-specificity (Plastic specific or fully generic), the required level of expertise to use the resource (Beginner, Intermediate or Expert) and the interoperability with other methods and tools inventoried.3. The methods and tools are analysed (adapted from the TRAAC framework*) in regard to their transparency, reliability, accessibility, applicability and completeness.* N.
