13、(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, g
14、overnmental 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 mai
15、ntenance 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.

20、t category rules (PCR). Since the publication of ISO 14025, ISO 14046, ISO/TS 14067 and ISO 21930 between 2006 and 2014, operators of Type III environmental product declaration and footprint communications as well as other organizations have gained varying levels of experience with the development a
21、nd use of PCR. The quality of PCR available on the market varies and PCR of low quality bear the risk of undermining the usefulness and credibility of PCR in general. A common international approach to the development of PCR can also facilitate the involvement of all interested parties, including th
22、ose from developing countries, which can increase the quality and consistency of PCR generally. This document is intended to ensure a certain level of quality of PCR by providing principles, requirements and guidelines for their development, including reviewing, registration and updating. This docum
23、ent is intended to benefit organizations, governments, communities and other interested parties through: providing efficient and consistent procedures for developing PCR of good quality; enabling the harmonization of PCR, or the recognition of equivalence of measures, when relevant; providing a bett
24、er understanding of PCR especially among interested parties and regions; encouraging the adoption and dissemination of PCR in the business community; enhancing the credibility, consistency (e.g. between different regions or sectors) and transparency of PCR. This document is part of the suite of stan
