CSA ISO 14020:15 (R2020) PDF Download

The CSA ISO 14020:15 (R2020) standard is an adoption of the ISO 14020 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization. This standard provides guidelines for the development and use of environmental labels and declarations, which are tools of environmental management.

Environmental labels and declarations aim to provide information about a product or service's overall environmental characteristics or specific environmental aspects. This information is intended to help purchasers and potential purchasers make decisions based on environmental considerations. The hope is that these labels and declarations will influence purchasing decisions in favor of environmentally friendly products or services, thereby increasing their market share. This, in turn, encourages other providers to improve the environmental aspects of their offerings, leading to reduced environmental stress.

It is important to note that the CSA ISO 14020:15 (R2020) standard is not intended for use as a specification for certification and registration purposes. Instead, it is meant to complement other standards in the ISO 14020 series, such as ISO 14021, ISO 14024, and ISO/TR 14025. The goal is to ensure consistency among these standards and uphold the guiding principles established in the CSA ISO 14020:15 (R2020) standard.
