Environmental labels and declarations - Self-declared environmental claims (Type II environmental labelling) (ISO 14021:1999)
This International Standard specifies requirements for low-pressure hose assemblies intended for use with the following medical gases: - oxygen; - nitrous oxide; - medical air; - helium; - carbon dioxide; - xenon; - specified mixtures of the gases listed above; - oxygen-enriched air; - air for driving surgical tools; - nitrogen for driving surgical tools; - vacuum. It is intended in particular to ensure gas-specificity and to prevent cross-connection between systems conveying different gases. These hose assemblies are intended for use at maximum operating pressures of less than 1 400 kPa. This International Standard specifies the allocation of (NIST), (DISS), (SIS) connectors to medical gases and specifies the dimensions of non-interchangeable screw-threaded (NIST) connectors.

Okoljske označbe in deklaracije - Okoljsko samodeklariranje (okoljsko označevanje II. vrste) (ISO 14021:1999)
V standardu so navedeni primeri, kako označiti količino recikliranega materiala, kam naj se ta količina napiše in s katerimi besedami se lahko opiše količina recikliranega materiala, če ta količina niha.Poleg tega je v standardu SIST EN ISO 14021 tudi razloženo, kako pravilno uporabljati okoljsko označevanje, da pri tem potrošniki ne bodo zavedeni. Navedeni so najpogosteje uporabljeni stavki za okoljsko samodeklariranje in tudi zahteve, kdaj naj jih proizvajalec uporablja, ko želi sporočiti potrošnikom, da je njegov izdelek okolju prijazen. V prilogi so navedeni standardi oziroma preskusne metode, ki so lahko v pomoč pri vrednotenju določenih okoljskih stavkov.
Eden izmed znakov iz standarda je tudi Mobiusova zanka.To je splošni znak za predelavo/recikliranje in pove, da je material s to oznako del procesa recikliranja. Uporablja se samo za tiste izdelke, ki imajo na koncu življenjskega cikla določeno zbiranje in procese recikliranja in ki ne vplivajo na druge sheme recikliranja.

© ISOISO 14021:1999(E)iiiForewordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISOmember bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technicalcommittees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established hasthe right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, inliaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International ElectrotechnicalCommission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.International Standard ISO 14021 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 207, Environmental management,Subcommittee SC 3, Environmental labelling.Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.SIST EN ISO 14021:2002
ISO 14021:1999(E)© ISOivIntroductionThe proliferation of environmental claims has created a need for environmental labelling standards which requirethat consideration be given to all relevant aspects of the life cycle of the product when such
claims are developed.Self-declared environmental claims may be made by manufacturers, importers, distributors, retailers or anyone elselikely to benefit from such claims. Environmental claims made in regard to products may take the form ofstatements, symbols or graphics on product or package labels, or in product literature, technical bulletins,advertising, publicity, telemarketing, as well as digital or electronic media, such as the Internet.In self-declared environmental claims, the assurance of reliability is essential. It is important that verification isproperly conducted to avoid negative market effects such as trade barriers or unfair competition, which can arisefrom unreliable and deceptive environmental claims. The evaluation methodology used by those who makeenvironmental claims should be clear, transparent, scientifically sound and documented so that those who purchaseor may potentially purchase products can be assured of the validity of the claimsSIST EN ISO 14021:2002

It isanticipated that benefits will be:a) accurate and verifiable environmental claims that are not misleading;b) increased potential for market forces to stimulate environmental improvements in
production, processes andproducts;c) prevention or minimization of unwarranted claims;d) reduction in marketplace confusion;SIST EN ISO 14021:2002
