Environmental labels and declarations - Principles, requirements and guidelines for communication of footprint information (ISO 14026:2017)

ISO 14026:2017 provides principles, requirements and guidelines for footprint communications for products addressing areas of concern relating to the environment.
ISO 14026:2017 also provides requirements and guidelines for footprint communication programmes, as well as requirements for verification procedures.
ISO 14026:2017 does not address the quantification of a footprint, nor does it address the communication of footprints that are not related to the environment, e.g. footprints addressing social or economic issues. In particular, footprint communications relating to the economic and social dimensions of sustainable development are outside the scope of ISO 14026:2017. Footprint communications relating to organizations are also outside the scope of ISO 14026:2017.

Marquages et déclarations environnementaux - Principes, exigences et lignes directrices pour la communication des informations d'empreinte (ISO 14026:2017)

Le présent document fournit des principes, des exigences et des lignes directrices applicables aux communications d'empreinte pour des produits, traitant de sujets de préoccupation en rapport avec l'environnement.
Le présent document fournit également des exigences et des lignes directrices concernant les programmes de communication d'empreinte, ainsi que des exigences relatives aux procédures de vérification.
Le présent document ne traite pas de la quantification d'une empreinte, ni de la communication d'empreintes sans rapport avec l'environnement, par exemple les empreintes traitant de problèmes économiques et sociaux. Les communications d'empreintes liées aux dimensions économiques et sociales du développement durable, notamment, ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application du présent document. Les communications d'empreintes liées aux organismes ne relèvent pas non plus du domaine d'application du présent document.

Okoljske označbe in deklaracije - Okoljsko samodeklariranje (okoljsko označevanje II. vrste) - Dopolnilo A1 (ISO 14021:1999/Amd 1:2011)

ISO 14026: 2017 podaja načela, zahteve in smernice za okoljsko samodeklariranje izdelkov, ki imajo vpliv na okolje.
ISO 14026:2017 določa tudi zahteve in smernice za programe okoljskega samodeklariranja izdelkov ter zahteve za postopke preverjanja.
ISO 14026:2017 ne obravnava količinske opredelitve ogljičnega odtisa in ne obravnava deklariranja, ki ni povezano z okoljem, npr. odtisa, ki obravnava družbena ali ekonomska vprašanja. Okoljsko samodeklariranje, ki se nanaša na ekonomske in družbene razsežnosti trajnostnega razvoja, ne spada na področje uporabe standarda ISO 14026:2017. Okoljsko samodeklariranje, ki se nanaša na organizacije, ravno tako ne spada na področje uporabe standarda ISO 14026:2017.
