New Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

The Indian Standard which is identical with ISO/TR 14047 : 2012 'Environmental management - Life cycle assessment - Illustrative examples on how to apply ISO 14044 to impact assessment situations' 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.

The heightened awareness of the importance of environmental protection and the possible environmental significance of a product system, have increased the interest in development of methods to better understand this significance. One of the techniques being developed for this purpose is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The requirements and guidelines for LCA are covered in IS/ISO 14044.
