SR EN ISO 14025, Environmental labels and declarations. Type III environmental declarations. Principles and procedures

The standard establishes the principles and procedures for the development of programs for Type III environmental declarations and Type III environmental declarations.

It specifically establishes the method for using the ISO 14040 series of standards in the development of Type III environmental declaration programs and Type III environmental declarations.

Type III environmental declarations present environmental information relating to the life cycle of a product, in order to allow comparisons between products that fulfill the same function.

Such declarations:
– are provided by one or more organizations,
– are based on data from independently verified life cycle assessment, on data from life cycle inventory analysis or on information modules, in accordance with the ISO 14040 series of standards and on additional environmental information,
– are developed using preset parameters, and
– are administered by a program administrator, such as a company or group of companies, an industrial sector or trade association, public authorities or agencies, an independent scientific organization, or another organization.
Type III environmental declarations,as described in this standard, are primarily intended for use in communication between economic operators; however, their use in communication between economic operators and consumers is not excluded.
In programs based on this international standard, the organization issuing the declaration shall be required to ensure that data are independently verified, either internally or externally.
