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. www.iso.org/directives
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received. www.iso.org/patents

Introduction
The proliferation of environmental claims has created a need for environmental labelling standards
which require that 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 else likely to benefit from such claims. Environmental claims made in regard to products may
take the form of statements, 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 is properly conducted to avoid negative market effects such as trade barriers or unfair
competition, which can arise from unreliable and deceptive environmental claims. The evaluation
methodology used by those who make environmental claims should be clear, transparent, scientifically
sound and documented so that those who purchase or may potentially purchase products can be
ensured of the validity of the claims.
