Environmental Leader

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has updated its guide for addressing environmental issues in product standards.

The new guide, ISO Guide 64:2008 offers product standards writers a step-by-step approach to identify and understand basic environmental aspects, as well as impacts related to the product’s entire life-cycle.

The guide recommends standard writers to conduct life-cycle evaluations of a product early on in the standard development.

An environmental checklist is included in the guide to help standards writers assess environmental issues based on the information that’s available on the product’s life-cycle.
