Product Carbon Footprint Verification Service

International Standard Organization (ISO) issued ISO14067: 2018 Greenhouse Gases-Product Carbon Footprint-Quantitative Requirements and Guidelines in Aug 2018, which replaced the technical specification ISO/TS14067: 2013 at the same time, ISO14067: 2018 was upgraded to the international standard. The standard specifies the principles, requirements and guidelines for quantifying and reporting the carbon footprint (CFP) of products in a manner consistent with the International Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) standards (ISO 14040 and ISO 14044). It provides a unified standard for enterprises to evaluate carbon emissions of products, and is an effective tool to promote the evaluation of green goods or services.
Product carbon footprint verification increases the environmental protection attributes of products and increases the added value of products themselves. Through product carbon footprint verification, enterprises can fully understand the energy consumption and carbon emission related to products, facilitate low-carbon management, save energy and reduce consumption, and save production costs; At the same time, product carbon footprint verification is an environmentally friendly behavior, which is the embodiment of corporate social responsibility, and helps to enhance the brand value of product manufacturers and improve the market competitiveness of products.

The Applicable Scope of Product Carbon Footprint Verification Service according to ISO14067

ISO 14067 Greenhouse Gases-Product Carbon Footprint-Quantitative Requirements and Guidelines for the Assessment of GHG Emissions over the Life Cycle of All Goods and Services Activities. Organizations carrying out such activities can assess their carbon footprint according to this standard. In the future, more prospective of domestic and international users will request organizations to report and disclose the carbon footprint of products and services through consistent standards. With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness and consumption level, consumers will be more willing to buy low-carbon products and services at reasonable prices.
