ISO publishes the Technical Specifications for Product Carbon Footprinting: ISO/TS 14067

On 21st May 2013, the International Stadardization Organization (ISO)  published the requirements and guidelines for product carbon footprint (PCF) studies as the Technical Specification ISO/TS 14067. The document comprises principles, requirements and recommendations for the quantification and the communication of complete as well as partial product carbon footprints. ISO/TS 14067 also delivers guidance for the development of or the alignment with already existing product category rules (PCRs).

Contrary to the initial planning the 14067 document has evolved into a ISO/TS Technical Specification instead of a ISO Standard. The Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) did not get sufficient support by participating countries, which lead to the publication of a Technical Specification. This normative document also builds on consensus within the ISO committee but follows different approval criteria.

The follow-up process has not been communicated yet. By May 2016 the Technical Specification shall be reviewed and either be confirmed for another three year period, be revised, be withdrawn or enter the development process of an international standard again. It is recommended by ISO that after six years a Technical Specification should be either withdrawn or converted into an international standard.
