ISO 14040:2006 PDF Download

ISO 14040:2006 is a standard that provides guidelines and framework for conducting life cycle assessments (LCA) in environmental management. The standard outlines the principles and phases involved in a complete LCA, including the definition of the LCA's goal and scope, the life cycle inventory analysis (LCI), the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA), and the life cycle interpretation. It also covers the reporting and critical review of the LCA results, limitations of the LCA, and the relationship between each phase of the assessment.

However, ISO 14040:2006 does not provide specific methodologies for conducting each phase of the LCA. It solely serves as a guide and framework for practitioners. The standard also does not focus on the application of LCA or LCI results, as it is beyond its scope.
