ISO 14067 Carbon footprint of products - Part 1: QuantificationContents INTRODUCTION SCOPE NORMATIVE REFERENCES TERMS AND DEFINITIONS PRINCIPLES METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK
– GENERAL– GOAL AND SCOPE DEFINITION OF THE QUANTIFICATION OF CFP
– GOAL OF CFP STUDY– SCOPE OF CFP STUDY (FUNCTIONAL UNIT, BOUNDARIES,
OFFSETTING, DATA & DATA QUALITY, USE STAGE & USE PROFILE)– INVENTORY ANALYSIS OF CFP
– GENERAL– TIME PERIOD FOR ASSESSMENT OF GHG EMISSIONS– TREATMENT OF SPECIFIC GHG EMISSION SOURCES AND SINKS
(ELECTRICITY SUPPLY, LAND USE CHANGE)– ALLOCATION TO CO-PRODUCTS
– IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF CFP INTERPRETATION OF CFP REPORTING ANNEXES (informative): A (GWP), D (Limitations), E (LUC)
11ISOCS ID 15455229
INTRODUCTION SCOPE NORMATIVE REFERENCES TERMS AND DEFINITIONS OBJECTIVE PRINCIPLES USE OF PRODUCT CATEGORY RULES GUIDANCE ON COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR COMMUNICATION OF CFP
– General (Declarations, Requirements for Declarations Directed to End Consumers, Confidentiality, Units of measurement, Age of data)
– Declaring Overall Emissions– Declaring emissions for specific stages of the life cycle– Declarations making Comparisons
VERIFICATION Annex (normative): The content of the CF-PCR document
ISO 14067 Carbon footprint of products - Part 2: Communication Contents
12ISOCS ID 15455229
Comparison of objectives/expectations (1)
PAS 2050
internal assessment of life cycle GHG emissions of products;Facilitates evaluation of alternative product configurations;Benchmark for programmes aimed at reducing GHG emissions;Allows for comparison of goods and services;Supports reporting on corporate responsibility;Provides a common basis for reporting and communicating life cycle GHG
emissions;Provides an opportunity for greater consumer understanding of life cycle
GHG emissions
WRI/WBCSD
Guidance for companies and other organizations to prepare an inventory of emissions associated with a product;
Primary purpose to support public reporting of product life cycle GHG emissions to help users reduce these emissions;
Public reporting refers to providing emissions-related information for a product, in accordance with the reporting requirements specified under the standard;
Standard does not directly enable comparative assertions or product labeling; Is not intended to support the accounting of GHG emission offsets or
claims of carbon neutrality;
13ISOCS ID 15455229
Comparison of objectives/expectations (2)
ISO
Benefits organizations, governments, project proponents and stakeholders by providing clarity and consistency for quantifying, monitoring, reporting and verifying the carbon footprint of products;
Part 1 specifies principles and requirements for studies to quantify Carbon Footprint of Products (CFP), based on the method of life cycle assessment (LCA);
Part 2 specifies requirements for the development of information to communicate the
carbon footprint of products, calculated according to Part 1 of ISO 14067; Guidelines how to use such information on the CFP;
14ISOCS ID 15455229
Harmonization
Harmonization: common goal for PAS2050,
WRI/WBCSD & ISOFocus on requirementsAlso relevant: principles; terms & definitions;
verificationMeans of harmonizationLimits of harmonizationAdded value of more than one approach
15ISOCS ID 15455229
Role of CFP
Refers to the calculation of the amount of GHG emissions associated with a company, event, activity, or the lifecycle of a good/service,
Enables to ascertain and manage GHG emissions along the supply chain
Safeguards the survival of companies in the changing regulatory and economic business landscape
Furthers the understanding of the risks and opportunities in the supply chain
Allows to focus effort in response to new regulatory, shareholder and consumer pressures
16ISOCS ID 15455229
Challenges - CFP
Basic challenge: – right balance between practicality – environmental
integrity/credibility–Role of PCRs–Timing
Harmonization WRI/WBCSD – PAS2050 – ISO 14067–Common basis: Life Cycle Assessment (ISO 14040)– ISO: also ISO 14020 (labelling) and ISO 14064
(verification)

Next steps
Next meeting: 6th meeting WG 2: León (Mexico) July 2010
Current planning: CD registration March 2010 DIS registration Sept 2010 FDIS registration Sept 2011 IS publication March 2012
Faster track option: DIS registration March 2010 FDIS registration June 2011 IS publication Oct 2011

Vision and realities
Transition to a zero/low-carbon society implies that the CFP of all products and services have to be managed
Economic crises offers a unique opportunity to restructure the supply chains of products
Bottom-up efforts along supply chains complement top-down efforts at national and international level
Reducing the risks of climate change may require negative global GHG emissions after 2050
