ISO/TR 14047:2012的目的是提供示例，以说明根据ISO 14044:2006进行生命周期影响评估的当前实践。这些示例只是所有可能满足ISO 14044规定的示例的样本。它们提供了应用ISO 14044的“一种方式”或“方式”，而不是“独特方式”。它们反映了生命周期评估（LCA）生命周期影响评估（LCIA）阶段的关键要素。ISO/TR 14047:2012中给出的示例并非唯一的，存在其他示例来说明所描述的方法学问题。

The purpose of ISO/TR 14047:2012 is to provide examples to illustrate current practice of life cycle impact assessment according to ISO 14044:2006. These examples are only a sample of all possible examples that could satisfy the provisions of ISO 14044. They offer "a way" or "ways" rather than the "unique way" of applying ISO 14044. They reflect the key elements of the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) phase of the LCA. The examples presented in ISO/TR 14047:2012 are not exclusive and other examples exist to illustrate the methodological issues described.
