21、mber bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governme
22、ntal and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Dire
23、ctives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 14024 was prepared by Technica
24、l Committee ISO/TC 207, Environmental management, Subcommittee SC 3, Environmental labelling. Introduction There are a number of approaches to environmental labelling. This International Standard relates to Type I environmental labelling programmes which award their environmental label to products w
25、hich meet a set of predetermined requirements. The label thus identifies products which are determined to be environmentally preferable within a particular product category. Type I environmental labelling programmes are voluntary, can be operated by public or private agencies and can be national, re
26、gional or international in nature.

27、Scope This International Standard establishes the principles and procedures for developing Type I environmental labelling programmes, including the selection of product categories, product environmental criteria and product function characteristics; and for assessing and demonstrating compliance. Th
28、is International Standard also establishes the certification procedures for awarding the label. 2 Normative reference The following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent ame

39、pose under specific conditions ISO/IEC Guide 2:1996 4 Objective of Type I environmental labelling The overall goal of environmental labels and declarations is, through communication of verifiable and accurate information, that is not misleading, on environmental aspects of products and services, to
40、encourage the demand for and supply of those products and services that cause less stress on the environment, thereby stimulating the potential for market-driven continuous environmental improvement. The objective of Type I environmental labelling programmes is to contribute to a reduction in the en
41、vironmental impacts associated with products, through the identification of products that meet a specific Type I programmes criteria for overall environmental preferability. The objective of this International Standard is to secure transparency and credibility in implementing Type I environmental la
42、belling programmes and to harmonize the principles and procedures applicable to the programmes. 5 Principles 5.1 Voluntary nature of the programme Type I environmental labelling programmes, including those developed or operated by government-sponsored agencies, shall be voluntary in nature. 5.2 Rela
43、tionship with ISO 14020 In addition to the requirements of this International Standard, the principles set out in ISO 14020 shall apply. Where this International Standard provides for more specific requirements than ISO 14020, such specific requirements shall apply. 5.3 Relationship with legislation
44、 A precondition for the granting and maintenance of a licence to use a Type I environmental label shall be the compliance by the applicant with environmental and other relevant legislation.

45、ISO 14024:2000 BSI 2 November 2001 3 5.4 Life cycle consideration The objective of reducing environmental impacts and not merely transferring impacts across media or stages of the product life cycle is best served by considering the whole product life cycle when setting product environmental criteri
46、a. Life cycle stages to be taken into account when developing the product environmental criteria should include: extraction of resources, manufacturing, distribution, use and disposal relating to relevant cross-media environmental indicators. Any departure from this comprehensive approach or selecti
47、ve use of restricted environmental issues shall be justified. 5.5 Selectivity Product environmental criteria shall be established to differentiate environmentally preferable products from others in the product category, based on a measurable difference in environmental impact. Product environmental
48、criteria should differentiate between products only when these differences are significant. Testing and verification methodologies used to evaluate products have different levels of precision and accuracy. This should be considered when determining the significance of this difference. Once product e
49、nvironmental criteria are established according to the above paragraph, all products which meet the criteria shall be eligible to use the label. 5.6 Product environmental criteria 5.6.1 Life cycle considerations The product environmental criteria shall be based on indicators arising from life cycle considerations (see 6.4). 5.6.2 Basis of criteria The product environmental criteria should be set at attainable levels and give consideration to relative environmental impacts, measurement capability and accuracy. 5.7 Prod
