scope:

This document establishes a set of common aspects and impacts for all typologies of civil engineering works, and identifies core sets of environmental, social and economic aspects and impacts for each typology of civil engineering works defined. Those aspects and impacts are the basis of the framework for the development of sustainability indicators for assessing the sustainability performance of new or existing civil engineering works, related to their design, construction, operation, maintenance, refurbishment and end-of-life. The indicators developed from these sets of aspects and impacts provide measures to express how the performance of a civil engineering works contributes to sustainability and sustainable development. The indicators developed based on these sets will represent aspects of civil engineering works that potentially impact on issues of concern related to sustainability and sustainable development. The object of consideration in this document is a civil engineering works, a part of the civil engineering works or a combination of several civil engineering works. The common core set of aspects and impacts described in this document are intended to be used for all types of civil engineering works. In addition, specific core sets of aspects and impacts are described for different typologies of civil engineering works (industrial processes infrastructures; linear infrastructures; dams and other fluvial works; maritime works; public spaces; other civil engineering works-not contained in the previous typologies).
