Standard Reminder

As a reminder, in December 2014, the International Standardization Office (ISO) published the standard ISO/TS 14072:2014 which provides additional requirements and guidelines for an effective application to organizations of :

  • ISO 14040 (Environmental management — Life cycle assessment — Principles and framework) and
  • ISO 14044 (Environmental management — Life cycle assessment — Requirements and guidelines) .

The new standard mainly provides details in relation to the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) principles and methodology as well as to the limitations regarding environmental declarations.
