Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 This document defines the principles, requirements and guidelines for the quantification of the carbon footprint of products. The aim of this document is to quantify GHG emissions associated with the life cycle stages of a product, beginning with resource extraction and raw material sourcing and extending through the production, use and end-of-life stages of the product.
2 This document is based on principles, requirements and guidelines identified in existing International Standards on life cycle assessment (LCA), IS/ISO 14040 and IS/ISO 14044, and aims to set specific requirements for the quantification of a CFP and a partial CFP.
3 Departure from ISO 14067: 2018 is listed below: 1. Definition of double-counting of GHG emissions and removals is provided is added at sub-clause 3.1.1.12 and an additional text related to the limitations of CFP due to double counting is added in Annex A. 2. In clause 4 Applications, a disclaimer is added regarding the misuse/ non-intended use of the standard. 3. Text under sub-clause 5.5 has been modified in order to ensure the use of natural sciences for CFP study to reduce the uncertainties. 4. Text under sub-clause 6.4.9.1 has been modified so that when it comes to application of specific requirements given at sub-clause 6.4.9.1 and subsequent sub-clauses of 6.4.9, the scenario at national situations conflicting with these requirements do not arise. 5. Text under sub-clause 6.4.9.5 has been modified in view of the emissions due to LUC varies with country’s circumstances (Natural, environmental, financial, technical capacity, agro-climatic condition, etc.)
