New Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

The Indian Standard which is identical with ISO 14046 : 2014 'Environmental management - Water footprint - Principles, requirements and guidelines' issued by the International Organization for Standardization was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Environmental Management Sectional Committee and approval of the Chemical Division Council.

This standard contains details of LCA, water footprint assessment of products, processes and organization. It provides principles, requirements and guidelines for conducting and reporting a water footprint assessment. Only air and soil emissions that impact water quality are included in the assessment, and not all air and soil emissions are included. The result of a water footprint assessment is a single value or a profile of impact indicator results. In this standard, the term 'water footprint' is only used when it is the result of an impact assessment.
