Comprehensive Guide to ISO 21931 Sustainable Packaging in Construction Materials Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

The ISO 21931 standard for sustainable packaging in construction materials is a critical component of ensuring the environmental sustainability and social responsibility of building products. This standard provides guidelines for evaluating the sustainability of packaging materials used in construction, including their recyclability, reusability, and biodegradability.

Relevant Standards

  • ISO 21931:2014 - Sustainable construction works - Environmental evaluation of buildings - Calculation method

  • ASTM D6400-18 - Standard Test Method for Determining Aerobic Biodegradation of Plastic Materials in the Presence or Absence of Light

  • EN 14523:2007 - Evaluation of environmental impacts from construction products

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing and maintaining this standard. The ISO is a non-governmental organization that develops voluntary international standards for various industries.

    International and National Standards

    The ISO 21931 standard is widely adopted by countries around the world, including Europe, North America, and Asia. The European Union has implemented directives and regulations that require construction products to meet sustainability criteria, including packaging.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with the ISO 21931 standard is mandatory for many industries, particularly in the construction sector. Companies must ensure that their products meet the required sustainability standards to maintain market competitiveness and avoid regulatory penalties.

    Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting the Test
