ISO 14040
ISO14040:2006 describes the principles and

framework for life cycle assessment (LCA)
including:
definition of the goal and scope of the LCA,
the life cycle inventory analysis (LCI) phase,
the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) phase,
the life cycle interpretation phase,
reporting and critical review of the LCA, limitations of
the LCA,
the relationship between the LCA phases,
and conditions for use of value choices and optional
elements.
https://www.iso.org/standard/37456.html
ISO 14040:2006 covers life cycle assessment
(LCA) studies and life cycle inventory (LCI)
studies. It does not describe the LCA
technique in detail, nor does it specify
methodologies for the individual phases of
the LCA.
The intended application of LCA or LCI
results is considered during definition of the
goal and scope, but the application itself is
outside the scope of this International
Standard.

LIFE CYCLE
ASSESSSMENT
The life cycle assessment (LCA) sometimes also
called ecobalance is a method to assess the
environmental impacts of a product or service.
The LCA is based on a perspective encompassing
the whole life cycle.
Hence, the environmental impacts of a product
are evaluated from cradle to grave, which means
from the resource extraction up to the disposal of
the product and also the production wastes.
The International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) has standardised the general procedure of
conducting an LCA in ISO14040 and ISO 14044.
http://www.pqm-online.com/assets/files/lib/std/iso_14040-
An LCA consists of four phases:
Goal and Scope Definition

Inventory Analysis
Impact Assessment
Interpretation
http://www.pqm-online.com/assets/files/lib/std/iso_14040-2006.pdf
PHASE 1
The Goal Definition (phase1) covers the
description of the object of investigation.
The environmental aspects to be considered
in the interpretation are also defined here.
The Scope Definition includes the way of
modelling the object of investigation, the
identification as well as the description of the
processes of importance towards the object
of investigation.
The functional unit, which determines the
base for the comparison, is defined here.
PHASE 2
The direct environmental impacts (emissions
and ressource uses), the amount of semi-
finished products, auxiliary materials and
energy of the processes involved in the life
cycle are determined and inventoried in the
Inventory Analysis(phase2).
This data is set in relation to the object of
investigation, i.e. the functional unit. The final
outcome consists of the cumulative resource
demands and emissions of pollutants
PHASE 3 & 4
The Inventory Analysis provides the basis for the
Impact Assessment (phase3). Applying current
valuation methods, e.g. eco-indicator, ecological
scarcity or CML, to the inventory results in indicator
values that are used and referred to in the
interpretation.
The results of the inventory analysis and the impact

assessment are analysed and commented in the
Interpretation (phase4) according to the initially
defined goal and scope of the LCA. Final conclusions
are drawn and recommendations stated.

LCA RESULTS
ISO 14064-1
ISO14064-1:2006 specifies
principles and requirements at the
organization level for quantification
and reporting of greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions and removals. It
includes requirements for the design,
development, management,
reporting and verification of an
organization's GHG inventory.
ISO 14064-2
ISO 14064-2:2006 specifies principles and
requirements and provides guidance at the
project level for quantification, monitoring and
reporting of activities intended to cause
greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions or
removal enhancements.
It includes requirements for planning a GHG
project, identifying and selecting GHG sources,
sinks and reservoirs relevant to the project and
baseline scenario, monitoring, quantifying,
documenting and reporting GHG project
performance and managing data quality.
ISO 14064-3
ISO14064-3:2006 specifies principles and requirements and
provides guidance for those conducting or managing the
validation and/or verification of greenhouse gas (GHG)
assertions. It can be applied to organizational or GHG
project quantification, including GHG quantification,
monitoring and reporting carried out in accordance with ISO
14064-1 or ISO 14064-2.
ISO14064-3:2006 specifies requirements for selecting GHG

validators/verifiers, establishing the level of assurance,
objectives, criteria and scope, determining the
validation/verification approach, assessing GHG data,
information, information systems and controls, evaluating
GHG assertions and preparing validation/verification
statements.
https://law.resource.org/pub/in/bis/S02/is.iso.14064.2.200
Specifically, use of ISO 14064
could:
.
enhance the environmental integrity of GHG
quantification,
enhance the credibility, consistency, and
transparency of GHG quantification, monitoring and
reporting, including GHG project emission reductions
and removal enhancements,
facilitate the development and implementation of
organization GHG management strategies and plans,
facilitate the development and implementation of
GHG projects,
facilitate the ability to track performance and
progress in the reduction of GHG emissions and/or
increase in GHG removals, and
https://law.resource.org/pub/in/bis/S02/is.iso.14064.2.2006.
facilitate the crediting and trade of GHG emission
Verification to ISO 14064 provides transparent, third
party evidence that GHG data is accurate and
reliable. This, in turn delivers a number of important
benefits: Recognition by reputable independent
stakeholders provides
Repsol with a high level of credibility on sustainability
issues.
It also enhances the companys reputation with
investors, who regard issues such as energy
efficiency as a proxy for efficient management.
Verification demonstrates that Repsol is effectively
managing its risks and is actively engaged in finding
new opportunities for improvement

LIFE CYCLE GHG
MAPPING
Key findings
Primary Carbon Hot Spot: Use Phase
Garments requiring washing, drying and possible ironing
require the largest energy
inputs during the use phase. As a result of these energy
inputs, laundering accounts
for 40-80% of total life cycle GHG emissions for such
garments.
Machine drying is generally the single largest energy user
and cause of GHG
emissions in garment life cycles.
Use of low-GHG energy sources such as renewable or nuclear
power for laundering
dramatically reduces garment life cycle GHG emissions.
Garments that require hand-washing are likely to have much
lower use-phase energy
https://www.bsr.org/reports/BSR_Apparel_Supply_Chain_Carbon_Report.pdf
use and resulting GHG emissions.
Garments requiring dry-cleaning may have lower
use-phase GHG emissions than
those requiring traditional laundering, but actual
results are likely to depend on
consumer behavior.
Several studies indicated that garments are
often laundered more frequently than
necessary (e.g. after every use), which
substantially increases total GHG emissions.
https://www.bsr.org/reports/BSR_Apparel_Supply_Chain_Carbon_Re
Secondary Carbon Hot Spot: Raw Materials
The second most important factor determining a garments
GHG emissions is fiber type:
Synthetic fibers have comparatively high GHG emissions as a
result of energy use
required for raw material production.
Wool has comparatively high GHG emissions as a result of
methane emissions from
sheep
Plant fibers such as cotton or linen have comparatively low
GHG emissions from
production, with linen having substantially lower production-
phase emissions
because of its comparatively low need for pesticides,
fertilizers and irrigation.

ISO 19011
ISO 19011:2011 provides guidance on auditing
management systems, including the principles of
auditing, managing an audit programme and
conducting management system audits, as well
as guidance on the evaluation of competence of
individuals involved in the audit process,
including the person managing the audit
programme, auditors and audit teams.
ISO 19011:2011 is applicable to all organizations
that need to conduct internal or external audits of
management systems or manage an audit
programme.
Why it was needed?
Organizations are increasingly turning to
management systems, in a quest to be more
effective and save time and money.
Many companies have several different management
systems, each focusing on different areas, such as IT,
information security, quality and environmental
management.
ISO19011, Guidelines for auditing management
systems, will help with the effective audit of those
management systems to ensure continuous
improvement, allowing harmonization across systems
and a uniform approach of the auditing process
where there are multiple systems in place.
BENEFITS
ISO 19011 is applicable to all organizations that need
to conduct internal or external audits of management
systems or manage an audit programme.
It is intended to apply to a broad range of potential
users, including auditors, organizations implementing
management systems and organizations needing to
conduct audits of management systems for
contractual or regulatory reasons.
ISO 19011 also provides guidance on external audits,
including certification and supplier, which support the
implementation of the MSS.
The revised version of ISO 19011 is due to be
published mid-2018.
https://www.iso.org/news/2011/12/Ref1492.ht
ml
Itwill help user organizations to
optimize and facilitate the
integration of their management
systems and, in facilitating a single
audit of its systems, will streamline
the audit processes, reduce
duplication of effort and decrease
disruption of work units being
audited

ISO 14063
ENVIROMENTAL COMMUNICATION
communication on environmental values, actions and
performance has become an essential activity of
organizations, because of increased public concern
and interest, and governmental activities related to
the environment.
Organizations all over the world are increasingly
confronted with the need to express their views, and
present and explain the environmental implications of
their activities, products and services.
There is also a growing need to listen to interested
parties, and incorporate their views and requirements
as part of environmental communication

pdf
ISO 14063:2006 gives guidance to an organization
on general principles, policy, strategy and activities
relating to both internal and external environmental
communication.
It utilizes proven and well-established approaches for
communication, adapted to the specific conditions
that exist in environmental communication.
It is applicable to all organizations regardless of
their size, type, location, structure, activities,
products and services, and whether or not they have
an environmental management system in place.
ISO 14063:2006 is not intended for
use as a specification standard for
certification or registration purposes
or for the establishment of any other
environmental management system
conformity requirements. It can be
used in combination with any of the
ISO 14000 series of standards, or on
its own
Environmental communication
often results in many benefits
assisting interested parties in understanding an

organization's environmental commitments,
policies and performance,
providing inputs/suggestions for improving the
environmental performance of an organization's
activities, products and services, and progress
toward sustainability,
improving understanding of interested parties'
needs and concerns to foster trust and dialogue,
promoting an organization's environmental
credentials, achievements and performance
