32、r Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (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
33、 right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental 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 proced
34、ures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance 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. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial
35、 rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).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. Details of any patent rights id

39、 14044. These standards contain the overarching requirements for critical review in concise form.Based on these requirements, a common critical review practice emerged that satisfied stakeholders. For the mandatory case of life cycle assessment (LCA) studies intended to be used in comparative assert
40、ions intended to be disclosed to the public, the performance of a critical review is established as key feature for the acceptance of the study by stakeholders. However, even in the broad range of applications of LCA, for which a critical review is not mandatory, the commissioners of the LCA study o
41、ften decide today to perform a voluntary critical review to improve the robustness of their studies and to increase credibility.It is one of the key features of critical review that it does not relate to an accreditation scheme, but ensures quality by making the individual reviewer personally respon
42、sible for the work and by giving priority to the content rather than the form.Because of the increasing use of LCA itself, as well as the broader application in tools like carbon footprinting or upcoming labelling initiatives, it is the intention of this Technical Specification to document the estab
43、lished critical review practice in a more comprehensive way by providing additional requirements and guidelines for conducting a critical review and the competencies required.This Technical Specification might be applicable to other standards that require independent review of LCA-based procedures a
44、nd information (e.g. ISO 14045, ISO 14025, ISO/TS 14067), but might need to be adapted to the specific fields of application. Other reference standards can be included in the critical review process.This Technical Specification does not apply to critical reviews performed prior to its publication. I
