UNE-EN ISO 14067:2019 establishes the principles, requirements and guidelines for calculating the carbon footprint of a product.
(OAK) EN ISO 14067:2018 allows a rigorous assessment of the climate impact generated by a product throughout its life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials to its final disposal. The carbon footprint is the most widely used environmental indicator globally, whether product-based (ISO 14067) or organisation-based (ISO 14064-1, GHG…).
ISO 14067:2018 is an international standard that defines how to quantify the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with a product or service.
The standard maintains the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach established in UNE-EN ISO 14040:2006 and UNE-EN ISO 14044:2006 but focused exclusively on climate change, i.e. on the global warming potential of the emissions emitted as a result of the manufacture of the product being analysed.
The methodology established in UNE-EN ISO 14067:2019 makes it possible to identify:
The standard allows the partial calculation of the carbon footprint of a product (partial HCP), i.e. the assessment of the greenhouse gases (GHG) of one or more processes that make up the ‘product system’, stages or processes of the product life cycle.
EN ISO 14067:2018 brings significant competitive advantages to products that have it:
UNE-EN ISO 14067:2019 is aimed at brands that, in addition to regulatory compliance, are positioned as leaders in their area of influence or wish to address new markets.
The ISO 14067:2018 carbon footprint can be applied to products in any sector: food, textiles, construction, technology, packaging, etc.
The calculation of the product carbon footprint can also be useful for companies seeking to improve their positioning in public tenders or companies with established compliance policies.
