Environmental Management — Life Cycle Assessment — Principles and Framework

DefinedTerm · Legislation

ISO 14040:2006 describes the principles and framework for life cycle assessment (LCA): definition of the goal and scope, the life cycle inventory analysis (LCI) phase, the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) phase, the life cycle interpretation phase, reporting and critical review, limitations, the relationship between the LCA phases, and conditions for use of value choices and optional elements. It covers LCA and LCI studies. It does NOT describe the LCA technique in detail and does NOT specify methodologies for the individual phases — a study claiming a method on 14040's authority is claiming something 14040 declines to give. Edition 2, published 2006-07, 20 pages, ISO/TC 207/SC 5, ICS 13.020.10 / 13.020.60. Stage 90.93 — confirmed on review in 2022, so this version remains current. One amendment: ISO 14040:2006/Amd 1:2020.
