Terms of Use for the Tyre LCCO₂ Calculation Guidelines

The Japan Automobile Tyre Manufacturers Association, Inc.

Tyre LCCO₂ Calculation Guidelines Ver.3.0

These Guidelines summarize the basic methods to calculate GHG emissions in the lifecycles of tyres.

GHG emission coefficients contained in these Guidelines

JATMA has concluded a special license agreement with the Sustainable Management Promotion Organization in Japan and these Guidelines include the GHG emission coefficients from inventory database IDEAv2 (hereinafter called the IDEA emission coefficients).

In exceptional cases, however, JATMA discloses these Guidelines to parties who have an end user license for inventory database IDEAv2 as long as we can confirm that they possess such a license.

Purpose of use of the IDEA emission coefficients

The IDEA emission coefficients in these Guidelines can only be used to calculate the GHG emissions in the lifecycles of tyres in the organization (company) to which you (Guidelines Users) belong. Guidelines Users shall not use these Guidelines for other purposes or allow third parties to use these Guidelines.
