ISO 14067 specifies the principles, requirements and guidelines for quantifying and reporting the carbon footprint of a product (CFP) that are consistent with international life cycle assessment (LCA) standards, namely ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. The global standard is for partial CFP and applies to CFP studies, the results of which provide the basis for different applications.

ISO 14067 only addresses a single impact category – climate change. Carbon offsetting and communicating the CFP or partial CFP information are outside its scope. It does not assess any social, economic or other environmental aspects and impacts that potentially arise from a product’s life cycle.

We can help you achieve verification with an ISO 14067 audit, including a gap assessment and benchmarking. We will determine your competency and support you to achieve ongoing improvement.

What are the benefits of ISO 14067 verification?

Verification follows successful completion of an audit. The benefits include:

• Reliable and comparable parameters for organizations and consumers
• Reduced emissions when implementing targeted measures
• Help to implement other standards, such as ISO 14001 (environmental management systems)
• Calculating your carbon footprint – the first step toward implementing an emissions reduction and offsetting strategy
• Improved efficiency across the value chain
• Transparent greenhouse gas (GHG) quantification and reporting
• Consistency with other standards, such as ISO 14025 (environmental labels) and ISO 14044, among others
