Comprehensive Guide to GHG Reduction Analysis for Green Public Procurement EcoLabels Testing Services by Eurolab

GHG reduction analysis is a critical component of green public procurement eco-labels, ensuring that products meet the required standards for greenhouse gas emissions. The relevant standards governing this testing service include:

1. ISO 14024:2018 - Environmental labels and declarations - Type I Ecolabels

This standard specifies requirements for type I ecolabels, which are voluntary environmental labels applied to products or services.

2. EN 16246:2015 - Sustainability in buildings - Sustainability assessment of buildings using BREEAM

This European standard outlines the procedures for assessing the sustainability of buildings using the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM).

3. ASTM D7850-19 - Standard Practice for Measuring Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Products

This American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard provides a framework for measuring greenhouse gas emissions from products.

4. TSE EN 16246:2015 - Turkeys adaptation of the European standard for sustainability assessment in buildings

Standard development organizations, such as ISO, ASTM, and CEN (European Committee for Standardization), play a crucial role in developing and maintaining these standards.

Evolution and Updates

Standards evolve over time to reflect changing environmental concerns, technologies, and market requirements. For instance:

  • ISO 14024:2018 replaced the previous edition (2000) with updated requirements and guidelines.
