A regulatory term referring to report that documents the CFP study (3.1.1.4), presents the CFP (3.1.1.1) or partial CFP (3.1.1.2).
Carbon footprint of a product study report is the documented output of the CFP study: the report that presents the result and records the decisions taken during the study. It is the formal artifact that makes the study reviewable by someone other than the original analyst.
ISO 14067:2018 - Greenhouse gases — Carbon footprint of products
report that documents the CFP study (3.1.1.4), presents the CFP (3.1.1.1) or partial CFP (3.1.1.2), and shows the decisions taken within the study
Reference: 3.1.1.5
This term originates in ISO 14067:2018 and/or ISO 14044 LCA methodology. It is used in EU product regulation — particularly under the EU Battery Regulation (PEF method for carbon footprint) and ESPR (environmental footprint) — because both regulations require lifecycle-based quantification of environmental impacts. Practitioners applying these regulations should be familiar with these LCA/PEF concepts to correctly scope, conduct, and verify product-level environmental assessments.
This term matters when companies need an auditable artifact that shows not only the footprint figure, but also the methodological choices behind it. Without the report, a footprint value is much harder to verify, compare, challenge, or reuse responsibly.
For Minespider, the study report is one of the clearest evidence objects in carbon-accounting workflows. It is the document-level bridge between raw modelling work and a footprint claim that another party is expected to trust.
