ISO 14045:2012 pdf download.Environmental management- Eco-efficiency assessment of product systems一Principles, requirements and guidelines.
ISO 14045 describes the principles, requirements and guidelines for eco-efficiency assessment for product systems, including:
a) the goal and scope definition of the eco-efficiency assessment;
b) the environmental assessment;
c) the product system value assessment;
d) the quantification of eco-efficiency;
e) interpretation (including quality assurance);
f) reporting;
g) 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 this International Standard.
