About this factor

From RIVM

Where it applies

Machine-translated
No critical review as specified in ISO 14040 has been carried out on these figures. They must therefore not be used to compare individual foods with each other, such as an apple and a pear; that needs an external review as specified in ISO 14040. Product categories, such as vegetables and fruit, can be compared.
