Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
To date, the terminology regarding environmental aspects used in the textile industry has not been
standardized, causing confusion, ineffectiveness and worst case hindering sustainable practices in
the textile sector. The global nature of the textile industry highlights the need for global as well as
national standards, enabling a common understanding and facilitate trade. A common vocabulary can
serve to reduce the risk of greenwashing, bringing value for actors aiming to be transparent as well
as facilitating the development of trust among consumers. Stakeholders will benefit from a common
terminology for addressing issues related to environmental aspects of textile products and processes.
This document contains definitions of terms widely used in the textile value chain in reference to
environmental aspects. ISO Guide 82 has been taken into consideration when addressing sustainability
in this document.
This document is applicable to all stakeholders in the textile value chain regardless of size and location.
The aim of this document is to enable future standardization work related to environmental
sustainability in the textile value chain.
The list of terms is wide but not exhaustive. Definitions are as far as possible adapted from existing
standards but when the intention or definition is unclear additional context or definitions are updated
or added.
