A system for assessing an environmental load includes an image acquisition unit
which acquires image data of an image of a component-implemented circuit board
subjected to assessment, a component database which includes matching-purpose data
and environmental load data with respect to a plurality of components, and a matching
unit which matches the image data with the matching-purpose data of the component
database to identify individual components on the component-implemented circuit
board subjected to assessment, and extracts the environmental load data belonging
to the identified individual components from the component database, thereby obtaining
the environmental load of the component-implemented circuit board subjected to assessment.
