Overview
EN ISO 14071:2024 - "Environmental management - Life cycle assessment - Critical review processes and reviewer competencies" - provides detailed requirements and guidance for conducting a critical review of any type of life cycle assessment (LCA). Published by CEN and aligned with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, the standard clarifies critical review practice, specifies deliverables, and defines the competencies required for reviewers (internal, external and panel members). Its aim is to increase the consistency, transparency, efficiency and credibility of LCA critical reviews.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and purpose: Applies to critical reviews of LCA studies and supplements ISO 14040/14044. It does not apply to reviews performed before publication or to general LCA applications illustrated in ISO 14040:2006 Figure 1.
- Critical review process: Defines steps for planning and delivering reviews, including defining scope, selecting and agreeing terms with reviewer(s), and procedures for replacing reviewers.
- Types of review: Covers end‑of‑study (final) reviews and concurrent reviews carried out during study development.
- Deliverables: Specifies preparation of a critical review report and a critical review statement as outputs of the process.
- Roles & tasks: Describes responsibilities for reviewer roles such as chairperson, reviewer, and panel members, and includes templates/annexes for reporting (e.g., Annex A template, Annex B example self‑declaration).
- Reviewer competencies: Specifies required competencies for individual reviewers and the competencies that must be represented by a review panel as a whole (independence, technical knowledge, and appropriate experience are addressed).
Practical applications
- Use EN ISO 14071:2024 to ensure LCA studies intended for public comparative assertions or voluntary credibility enhancement meet recognized critical review practice.
- Apply it when preparing LCA-based declarations, labels, product environmental footprints, or organizational LCAs to satisfy stakeholders and reduce risk of challenge.
- Employ the standard’s templates and guidance to streamline review workflows, produce transparent review statements, and justify reviewer selection.
Who should use this standard
- LCA practitioners and commissioners seeking independent validation of LCA studies
- External reviewers, review panels and chairpersons responsible for critical reviews
- Certification bodies, sustainability teams, product developers, and consultancies involved in environmental management and life cycle assessment
Related standards
- ISO 14040, ISO 14044 (core LCA principles and requirements)
- ISO 14045, ISO 14046, ISO 14025, ISO 14067, ISO 14072 - EN ISO 14071:2024 can be adapted to support independent review requirements in these LCA‑based standards

Introduction
For life cycle assessment (LCA), critical review is the conformity assessment approach in accordance with
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 interested parties.
For the mandatory case of 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 a key feature for the acceptance
of the study by interested parties. 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 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 such as carbon
footprinting or upcoming labelling initiatives, this document specifies the established critical review
practice in a more comprehensive way, by providing additional requirements and guidance for conducting a
critical review and ensuring the relevant competencies.

Die Norm SIST EN ISO 14071:2024 stellt einen bedeutenden Fortschritt im Bereich des Umweltmanagements dar, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Lebenszyklusanalyse (LCA). Sie definiert klare Anforderungen und bietet umfassende Leitlinien für die Durchführung einer kritischen Überprüfung jeglicher Art von LCA-Studien. Ein zentrales Merkmal dieser Norm ist die zusätzliche Klarstellung und Unterstützung zu den bereits bestehenden Normen ISO 14040 und ISO 14044, was deren Relevanz und Anwendbarkeit verstärkt. Die Norm hebt die Stärken des kritischen Überprüfungsprozesses hervor, indem sie konkrete Details und Anforderungen bereitstellt. Dies ermöglicht eine strukturierte und transparente Herangehensweise, die sowohl die Konsistenz als auch die Glaubwürdigkeit der Überprüfung erhöht. Ein besonders wertvoller Aspekt ist die Verknüpfung der Überprüfung mit den spezifischen Zielen der LCA sowie deren geplanter Nutzung. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass die Bewertung nicht nur formal erfolgt, sondern auch praxisnahe Ergebnisse liefert. Die Norm legt auch wert auf die erforderlichen Kompetenzen der Gutachter, einschließlich interner, externer und Panelmitglieder. Dies trägt dazu bei, dass alle an der kritischen Überprüfung beteiligten Personen über das notwendige Wissen und die Erfahrung verfügen, was die Qualität des Überprüfungsprozesses signifikant verbessert. Die Vorgaben zu den Kompetenzen, die im gesamten Panel vertreten sein sollten, erhöhen zudem die Vielseitigkeit und die Fachkompetenz der Kritischen Überprüfung. Ein weiteres positives Merkmal der Norm ist ihre breitere Anwendbarkeit. Sie ist nicht nur auf die ISO 14040 und ISO 14044 beschränkt, sondern kann auch auf andere relevante Standards angewendet werden, die eine unabhängige Überprüfung von LCA-basierten Verfahren und Informationen erfordern, wie zum Beispiel ISO 14045, ISO 14046, ISO 14025 und ISO 14067. Dies zeigt die Flexibilität der Norm und ermöglicht ihre Anpassung an spezifische Anwendungsbereiche, was ihre Relevanz im Bereich Umweltmanagement weiter steigert. Zusammenfassend liefert die SIST EN ISO 14071:2024 eine fundierte Grundlage für die Durchführung kritischer Überprüfungen im Rahmen von Lebenszyklusanalyse-Studien und fördert damit eine hohe Qualität sowie Glaubwürdigkeit in diesem wichtigen Bereich des Umweltmanagements.
