Environmental labels and declarations - Type III environmental declarations - Principles and procedures (ISO 14025:2006)

ISO 14025:2006 establishes the principles and specifies the procedures for developing Type III environmental declaration programmes and Type III environmental declarations. It specifically establishes the use of the ISO 14040 series of standards in the development of Type III environmental declaration programmes and Type III environmental declarations.
ISO 14025:2006 establishes principles for the use of environmental information, in addition to those given in ISO 14020:2000
Type III environmental declarations as described in ISO 14025:2006 are primarily intended for use in business-to-business communication, but their use in business-to-consumer communication under certain conditions is not precluded.

Umweltkennzeichnungen und -deklarationen - Typ III Umweltdeklarationen - Grundsätze und Verfahren (ISO 14025:2006)

Diese Internationale Norm stellt Grundsätze auf und legt die Verfahren fest, nach denen Typ III
Umweltdeklarationsprogramme und Typ III Umweltdeklarationen erstellt werden. Sie legt insbesondere die
Anwendung der ISO 14040 Normenreihe für die Erstellung von Typ III Umweltdeklarationsprogramme und
Typ III Umweltdeklarationen fest.
Diese Internationale Norm stellt Grundsätze auf für die Verwendung von umweltbezogenen Informationen, die
die in ISO 14020 festgelegten Grundsätze ergänzen.
Typ III Umweltdeklarationen, wie sie in dieser Internationalen Norm beschrieben werden, sind in erster Linie
für den Informationsaustausch innerhalb der anbietenden Wirtschaft gedacht, wobei ihre Anwendung für den
Informationsaustausch zwischen anbietender Wirtschaft und Verbrauchern nicht ausgeschlossen sein soll.
Mit dieser Internationalen Norm werden keine gesetzlich geforderten Umweltangaben, -aussagen
oder -kennzeichnungen oder sonstigen geltenden gesetzlichen Anforderungen aufgehoben oder in
irgendeiner Weise verändert.
Diese Internationale Norm enthält keine sektorspezifischen Festlegungen. Solche Festlegungen können in
anderen ISO-Dokumenten behandelt werden. Es wird angestrebt, dass sektorspezifische Festlegungen
anderer ISO-Dokumente mit Bezug auf Typ III Umweltdeklarationen auf dieser Internationalen Norm beruhen
und die Grundsätze und Verfahren dieser Internationalen Norm verwenden.

Elle établit spécifiquement l'utilisation de la série de normes ISO 14040 pour le développement de déclarations environnementales de Type III et des programmes correspondants.
L'ISO 14025:2006 établit également les principes relatifs à l'utilisation d'informations environnementales additionnelles.
Les déclarations environnementales de Type III décrites par l'ISO 14025:2006 sont principalement destinées à une communication interentreprises, mais leur utilisation pour la communication entre une entreprise et des particuliers dans certaines conditions n'est pas exclue.

ISO 14025:2006(E)
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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14025 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 207, Environmental management, Subcommittee
SC 3, Environmental labelling.
This first edition of ISO 14025 cancels and replaces ISO/TR 14025:2000, which has been technically revised.
