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 documents 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).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed

Introduction
For life cycle assessment, critical review is the conformity assessment approach according to ISO 14040
and ISO 14044. These standards contain the overarching requirements for critical review in concise
form.
Based on these requirements, a common critical review practice emerged that satisfied stakeholders.
For the mandatory case of life cycle assessment (LCA) studies intended to be used in comparative
assertions intended to be disclosed to the public, the performance of a critical review is established
as key feature for the acceptance of the study by stakeholders. However, even in the broad range of
applications of LCA, for which a critical review is not mandatory, the commissioners of the LCA study
often decide today to perform a voluntary critical review to improve the robustness of their studies and
to increase credibility.
It is one of the key features of critical review that it does not relate to an accreditation scheme, but
ensures quality by making the individual reviewer personally responsible for the work and by giving
priority to the content rather than the form.
Because of the increasing use of LCA itself, as well as the broader application in tools like carbon
footprinting or upcoming labelling initiatives, it is the intention of this document the established critical
review practice in a more comprehensive way by providing additional requirements and guidelines for
conducting a critical review and the competencies required.
This document might be applicable to other standards that require independent review of LCA‑based
procedures and information (e.g. ISO 14045, ISO 14046, ISO 14025, ISO 14067), but might need to be
adapted to the specific fields of application. Other reference standards can be included in the critical
review process.
This document does not apply to critical reviews performed prior to its publication.
