Comprehensive Guide to ISO 14067 Lifecycle GHG Assessment for Voluntary Ecolabel Schemes Testing Services

Standard-Related Information

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed a comprehensive standard, ISO 14067, which provides guidelines for lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) assessment of products and services. This standard is specifically designed to support voluntary ecolabel schemes, enabling organizations to assess the environmental impact of their products and services.

Why ISO 14067?

The increasing awareness of climate change and its effects on the environment has led to a growing demand for products and services with lower carbon footprints. Voluntary ecolabel schemes have emerged as a key tool for organizations to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability. ISO 14067 provides a framework for assessing the lifecycle GHG emissions of products and services, enabling organizations to make informed decisions about their environmental impact.

Relevant Standards

The following standards are relevant to ISO 14067:

  • ISO 14040: Life Cycle Assessment Principles and Framework

  • ISO 14044: Life Cycle Assessment Requirements and Guidelines

  • ISO 14065: Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Products Quantification, Reporting, Verification

    • International and National Standards

    ISO 14067 is an international standard that has been adopted by various countries. Some of the key national standards that align with ISO 14067 include:

  • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) E3085-18: Standard Practice for Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Products

  • EN 16234:2016: Greenhouse gas emissions Quantification, reporting, verification

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development of standards is a collaborative effort between industry experts, government agencies, and other stakeholders. Some of the key standard development organizations involved in the development of ISO 14067 include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
