23、). 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 no
24、n-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. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Par
25、t 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International 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
26、 a vote. 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. ISO 14044 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 207, Environmental management, Subcommi
27、ttee SC 5, Life cycle assessment. This first edition of ISO 14044, together with ISO 14040:2006, cancels and replaces ISO 14040:1997, ISO 14041:1998, ISO 14042:2000 and ISO 14043:2000, which have been technically revised. EN ISO 14044:2006vIntroduction The increased awareness of the importance of en
28、vironmental protection, and the possible impacts associated with products1), both manufactured and consumed, has increased interest in the development of methods to better understand and address these impacts. One of the techniques being developed for this purpose is life cycle assessment (LCA). LCA
29、 can assist in identifying opportunities to improve the environmental performance of products at various points in their life cycle, informing decision-makers in industry, government or non-government organizations (e.g. for the purpose of strategic planning, priority setting, product or process des
30、ign or redesign), the selection of relevant indicators of environmental performance, including measurement techniques, and marketing (e.g. implementing an ecolabelling scheme, making an environmental claim, or producing an environmental product declaration). LCA addresses the environmental aspects a
31、nd potential environmental impacts2)(e.g. use of resources and environmental consequences of releases) throughout a products life cycle from raw material acquisition through production, use, end-of-life treatment, recycling and final disposal (i.e. cradle-to-grave). There are four phases in an LCA s
32、tudy: a) the goal and scope definition phase, b) the inventory analysis phase, c) the impact assessment phase, and d) the interpretation phase. The scope, including system boundary and level of detail, of an LCA depends on the subject and the intended use of the study. The depth and the breadth of L
33、CA can differ considerably depending on the goal of a particular LCA. The life cycle inventory analysis phase (LCI phase) is the second phase of LCA. It is an inventory of input/output data with regard to the system being studied. It involves the collection of the data necessary to meet the goals of
34、 the defined study. The life cycle impact assessment phase (LCIA) is the third phase of the LCA. The purpose of LCIA is to provide additional information to help assess a product systems LCI results so as to better understand their environmental significance. 1) In this International Standard, the t
35、erm “product” includes services. 2) The “potential environmental impacts” are relative expressions, as they are related to the functional unit of a product system. EN ISO 14044:2006vi Life cycle interpretation is the final phase of the LCA procedure, in which the results of an LCI or an LCIA, or bot
36、h, are summarized and discussed as a basis for conclusions, recommendations and decision-making in accordance with the goal and scope definition. There are cases where the goal of an LCA may be satisfied by performing only an inventory analysis and an interpretation. This is usually referred to as a
37、n LCI study. This International Standard covers two types of studies: life cycle assessment studies (LCA studies) and life cycle inventory studies (LCI studies). LCI studies are similar to LCA studies but exclude the LCIA phase. LCI are not to be confused with the LCI phase of an LCA study. Generall
38、y, the information developed in an LCA or LCI study can be used as part of a much more comprehensive decision process. Comparing the results of different LCA or LCI studies is only possible if the assumptions and context of each study are equivalent. Therefore this International Standard contains se
39、veral requirements and recommendations to ensure transparency on these issues. LCA is one of several environmental management techniques (e.g. risk assessment, environmental performance evaluation, environmental auditing, and environmental impact assessment) and might not be the most appropriate tec
40、hnique to use in all situations. LCA typically does not address the economic or social aspects of a product, but the life cycle approach and methodologies described in this International Standard may be applied to these other aspects. This International Standard, like other International Standards,
41、is not intended to be used to create non-tariff trade barriers or to increase or change an organizations legal obligations. EN ISO 14044:20061Environmental management Life cycle assessment Requirements and guidelines 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements and provides guidelines
42、for life cycle assessment (LCA) including a) the goal and scope definition of the LCA, b) the life cycle inventory analysis (LCI) phase, c) the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) phase, d) the life cycle interpretation phase, e) reporting and critical review of the LCA, f) limitations of the LCA, g
43、) relationship between the LCA phases, and h) conditions for use of value choices and optional elements. This International Standard covers life cycle assessment (LCA) studies and life cycle inventory (LCI) studies. The intended application of LCA or LCI results is considered during the goal and sco
44、pe definition, but the application itself is outside the scope of this International Standard. This International Standard is not intended for contractual or regulatory purposes or registration and certification. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the app
