# Criterion D.5 - Data export in Bilan Carbone® format

In the interest of collaborative work and as few restrictions as possible, tools may need to use data from other assessments or export their data to other tools. A data model is proposed by the Bilan Carbone® method through the collection matrix. Therefore, the candidate tool is required to offer an export, and potentially an import, including at minimum the following information for all data in a Bilan Carbone®:

* Emission label
* Bilan Carbone® category
* Bilan Carbone® sub-category
* Activity data information:
  * Value
  * Type
  * Source
  * Uncertainty (with a single characteristic)
* Emission factor information:
  * Emission factor label
  * Value (if authorised by the data provider)
  * Unit
  * Uncertainty (all available characteristics)
  * Type
  * Source
  * Source version
* Associated carbon footprint

As some emission factor providers have commercial rules regarding the sharing of their data, a tolerance will be granted for the EFs concerned, provided that the tool seeks to supply all possible data, in particular by ensuring that the most relevant emission factors are provided when a choice must be made.
