Comprehensive Guide to FSC Environmental Impact Reporting Testing Services Provided by Eurolab

FSC Environmental Impact Reporting (EIR) Testing is a critical aspect of ensuring the sustainability and eco-friendliness of products, particularly those made from wood or wood-based materials. The testing process involves evaluating the environmental impact of products throughout their entire lifecycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.

Relevant Standards

The following international standards govern FSC EIR Testing:

  • ISO 14040:2006 - Environmental management -- Life cycle assessment -- Principles and framework

  • ISO 14044:2006 - Environmental management -- Life cycle assessment -- Requirements and guidelines

  • EN 13926-1:2010 - Sustainability of construction works Environmental declaration Part 1: Calculation method

  • TSE LCF (Turkish Standards Institution) - Life Cycle Assessment Methodology

    • Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), play a crucial role in developing and maintaining standards. These organizations bring together experts from various industries to create guidelines that ensure consistency and comparability across countries.
