Environmental Management — Life Cycle Assessment — Requirements and Guidelines

DefinedTerm · Legislation

ISO 14044:2006 specifies requirements and provides guidelines for life cycle assessment: definition of 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. This is the requirements half of the pair — 14040 states the framework, 14044 states what a study must actually do to conform. Edition 1, published 2006-07, 46 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. Two amendments: Amd 1:2017 and Amd 2:2020.
