Environmental Management — Water Footprint — Principles, Requirements and Guidelines

DefinedTerm · CreativeWork

ISO 14046:2014 specifies principles, requirements and guidelines for water footprint assessment of products, processes and organizations, based on life cycle assessment. A water footprint assessment may stand alone or sit inside a broader environmental assessment. Only air and soil emissions that impact water quality are included, and not all of them. The result is a single value or a profile of impact indicator results. Reporting is in scope; COMMUNICATION of results as labels or declarations is outside it. Edition 1, published 2014-08, 33 pages, ISO/TC 207/SC 5, ICS 13.020.10 / 13.020.60. Stage 90.60 — close of review, under review as of the 2026-08-27 reading.
