Environmental Labels and Declarations - Self-Declared Environmental Claims (Type II Environmental Labelling)
Also Known As:
ISO 14021:2016 is a standard that provides requirements for self-declared environmental claims made by companies about their products. It specifies the conditions for making statements, using symbols, or graphics related to the environmental performance of a product. The standard also defines terms commonly used in environmental claims and sets qualifications for their appropriate use.
Additionally, ISO 14021:2016 outlines a general methodology for evaluating and verifying self-declared environmental claims, as well as specific evaluation and verification methods for particular claims. This ensures that the claims made by companies are accurate and reliable.
It is important to note that ISO 14021:2016 does not replace or change any legally required environmental information, claims, labelling, or other applicable legal requirements. It serves as a framework to enhance transparency and credibility in environmental claims made by companies, enabling consumers and other stakeholders to make informed choices about products based on their environmental impact.
