The work of preparing International Standards is normal

8、ly 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

9、 work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare I

10、nternational Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some o

23、 immediately after 7.13.3: 7.14 Renewable material 7.14.1 Usage of term Material that is composed of biomass from a living source and that can be continually replenished. 7.14.2 Qualifications When claims of renewability are made for virgin materials, those materials shall come from sources that are

24、 replenished at a rate equal to or greater than the rate of depletion. An unqualified claim of renewability shall only be made when the product consists of 100 % renewable material, allowing for de minimus amounts of non-renewable materials being contained in that material. Otherwise, renewability c

25、laims shall be qualified as follows: a) where a claim of renewable material content is made, the percentage by mass of renewable material to the total mass shall be stated; b) the percentage of renewable material content (mass fraction) for products and packaging shall be separately stated and shall

26、 not be aggregated. All renewable claims shall be compliant with all other requirements of this International Standard. In particular, the onus on a claimant to follow the principles set out in this clause shall not be diminished by substituting like terms (see 7.1). Amendment 1:2013 to CAN/CSA-ISO

27、14021:00ISO 14021:1999/Amd.1:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights reserved 37.14.3 Evaluation methodology Evaluation shall be undertaken in accordance with Clause 6. 7.15 Renewable energy 7.15.1 Usage of term Energy derived from sources that are non-exhaustible or capable of continuous replenishment. Renewab

28、le energy sources include, but are not limited to, sunlight and wind energy. They also include biomass and geothermal sources that conform to 7.14. Claims of renewability for energy sources associated with movements of water shall only be made if they are from sources that are managed in accordance

29、with the principles of sustainable development (see 3.1.17). 7.15.2 Qualifications An unqualified claim for renewable energy shall only be made when 100 % of the energy supply is renewable. Otherwise, renewable energy claims shall be qualified. Where a proportion of the energy supply is from renewab

30、le sources, the percentage shall be clearly stated. All renewable energy claims shall be compliant with all other requirements of this International Standard. In particular, the onus on a claimant to follow the principles set out in this clause shall not be diminished by substituting like terms (see

31、 7.1). NOTE Particular care is needed when making a claim for a product or process relating to use of electrical energy from the grid, when that electrical energy is claimed to contain a percentage of renewable energy. 7.15.3 Evaluation methodology Evaluation shall be undertaken in accordance with C

32、lause 6. 7.16 Sustainable 7.16.1 Usage of term As stated in 5.5, self-declared claims of achieving sustainability shall not be made. It is re-emphasized in this subclause that unqualified claims of “sustainable” and “sustainability” shall not be used. When using a qualified claim of “sustainable”, “

33、sustainability” or “sustainable development” (see 3.1.17), any portion of that claim that relates to an environmental aspect shall conform to this International Standard. NOTE The term “sustainable” can be used in third-party verified schemes, such as those related to forestry and fisheries, but suc

34、h schemes are outside the scope of this International Standard. 7.17 Claims relating to greenhouse gas emissions 7.17.1 General “Carbon footprint” is a common term used in the provision of information relating to greenhouse gas (GHG) (see 3.1.9) emissions of both processes and products. This subclau

35、se covers claims related to the “carbon footprint” of products and also claims of “carbon neutral”. NOTE ISO 14067 is currently under preparation. If the published version includes text that is incompatible with this International Standard, further modifications to this International Standard will b

36、e initiated and the text in ISO 14067 will take precedence in the interim. Amendment 1:2013 to CAN/CSA-ISO 14021:00ISO 14021:1999/Amd.1:2011(E) 4 ISO 2011 All rights reserved7.17.2 Product “carbon footprint” 7.17.2.1 Usage of term A product “carbon footprint” is understood as the net amount of life

37、cycle (see 3.1.10) GHG (see 3.1.9) emissions. It also includes long-term net removals of CO2. A product “carbon footprint” is a way of reporting the environmental impact category of global warming or climate change that is being assessed during a life cycle assessment. It does not indicate the overa

38、ll environmental performance of a product during its life cycle see 5.7 h). 7.17.2.2 Evaluation methodology The quantification of a product “carbon footprint” shall be based on the application of ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, and product category rules as specified in ISO 14025 when appropriate. 7.17.3 “

39、Carbon neutral” 7.17.3.1 General “Carbon neutral” refers to a product (as a product system) that has a “carbon footprint” (see 7.17.2) of zero or a product with a “carbon footprint” that has been offset. 7.17.3.2 Usage of term In relation to a product, “carbon neutral” requires that all the GHG (see

40、 3.1.9) emissions from all stages of the product life cycle, and within the specified product system, have been reduced, removed or accounted for through a system of offsets or credits, or by other means. An unqualified claim of “carbon neutral” shall not be made. 7.17.3.3 Qualifications “Carbon neu

41、trality” claims shall include: a) a statement that the product “carbon footprint” is zero; or b) a clear statement about which elements of the product life cycle have been offset. Claims of “carbon neutrality” involving offsets shall also be qualified with a statement that declares the product “carb

42、on footprint” and clearly explains what has been offset, providing full details of the offset scheme used and information that enables the purchaser to access sources of further information explaining the offset programme. All carbon neutral claims shall be compliant with all other requirements of t

43、his International Standard. In particular, the onus on a claimant to follow the principles set out in this clause shall not be diminished by substituting like terms (see 7.1). NOTE It is advisable that an organization give preference to achieving carbon neutrality through the strategies of preventio

44、n and reduction of its own emissions and substitution of renewable energy sources for fossil energy sources. Acquisition of carbon offsets can be used to compensate for remaining emissions. 7.17.3.4 Evaluation methodology Determination of “carbon neutrality” is based on, first, the calculation of a

45、carbon footprint (see 7.17.2.2), then the deduction of offsets equivalent to the emissions of the carbon footprint. Alternatively, carbon neutrality can be achieved by a product whose “carbon footprint” is zero. Amendment 1:2013 to CAN/CSA-ISO 14021:00ISO 14021:1999/Amd.1:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights
