21、 Bibliography . 25 BS EN ISO 14025:2010EN ISO 14025:2010 (E)Introduction Type III environmental declarations present quantified environmental information on the life cycle of a product to enable comparisons between products fulfilling the same function. Such declarations are provided by one or more
22、organizations, are based on independently verified life cycle assessment (LCA) data, life cycle inventory analysis (LCI) data or information modules in accordance with the ISO 14040 series of standards and, where relevant, additional environmental information, are developed using predetermined param
23、eters, and are subject to the administration of a programme operator, such as a company or a group of companies, industrial sector or trade association, public authorities or agencies, or an independent scientific body or other organization. Type III environmental declarations as described in this I
24、nternational Standard are primarily intended for use in business-to-business communication, but their use in business-to-consumer communication is not precluded. It is recognized that a developer of a Type III environmental declaration cannot precisely determine the audience. However, it is importan
25、t to consider the information needs of different purchaser or user groups, for instance large businesses, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), public procurement agencies and consumers. Those responsible for developing Type III environmental declarations and programmes based on this Internatio
26、nal Standard will need to pay due attention to the level of awareness of the target audience. In programmes based on this International Standard, the organization making the declaration will be required to ensure that data are independently verified either internally or externally. This could, but d
27、oes not necessarily, mean third-party verification except in the case of business-to-consumer declarations. ISO provides a general definition for “certification” (procedure by which a third party gives written assurance that a product or process conforms to specified requirements). Nevertheless, “ce
28、rtification” is understood and conducted differently in different regions. To avoid confusion, this International Standard uses the term “third-party verification” instead of “certification”. Harmonization of general programme instructions and particularly product category rules (PCR) are encouraged
29、 between programmes to meet the principle of comparability. This includes mutual recognition of rules with respect to PCR development, PCR review and verification procedures, administrative procedures and declaration format. To ensure comparability, programme operators are encouraged to work coopera
30、tively to achieve harmonization of the programmes and to develop mutual recognition agreements. NOTE In the practice of developing Type III environmental declarations, programmes or their declarations are referred to by various names such as Eco-Leaf, eco-profile, environmental declaration of produc
31、t, environmental product declaration (EPD) and environmental profile. viBS EN ISO 14025:2010EN ISO 14025:2010 (E)1Environmental labels and declarations Type III environmental declarations Principles and procedures 1 Scope This International Standard establishes the principles and specifies the proce
32、dures for developing Type III environmental declaration programmes and Type III environmental declarations. It specifically establishes the use of the ISO 14040 series of standards in the development of Type III environmental declaration programmes and Type III environmental declarations. This Inter
33、national Standard establishes principles for the use of environmental information, in addition to those given in ISO 14020. Type III environmental declarations as described in this International Standard are primarily intended for use in business-to-business communication, but their use in business-
34、to-consumer communication under certain conditions is not precluded. This International Standard does not override, or in any way change, legally required environmental information, claims or labelling, or any other applicable legal requirements. This International Standard does not include sector-s
35、pecific provisions, which may be dealt with in other ISO documents. It is intended that sector-specific provisions in other ISO documents related to Type III environmental declarations be based on and use the principles and procedures of this International Standard. 2 Normative references The follow
