ISO 14045:2012

ISO 14045:2012 describes the principles, requirements and guidelines for eco-efficiency assessment for product systems including:

1. the goal and scope definition of the eco-efficiency assessment;
2. the environmental assessment;
3. the product-system-value assessment;
4. the quantification of eco-efficiency;
5. interpretation (including quality assurance);
6. reporting;
7. critical review of the eco-efficiency assessment.

Requirements, recommendations and guidelines for specific choices of categories of environmental impact and values are not included. The intended application of the eco-efficiency assessment is considered during the goal and scope definition phase, but the actual use of the results is outside the scope of ISO 14045:2012.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:

• mandatory clauses to satisfy,
• non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document "ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents" as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
