Overview

What Is ISO 14067:2018?

ISO 14067:2018 is the internationally recognized standard for measuring the carbon footprint of products. It defines principles, requirements, and guidelines for quantifying, monitoring, and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the entire product life cycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. Based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and aligned with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, the standard ensures accuracy, transparency, and comparability in carbon footprint studies.
Independent third-party assurance under ISO 14067:2018 validates product-level climate claims, boosts credibility, and builds stakeholder trust. Certification helps organizations identify inefficiencies, cut costs, and support carbon reduction strategies. It also aligns with global frameworks such as the Paris Agreement, UN Sustainable Development Goals, GHG Protocol, and SBTi. By adopting ISO 14067:2018, businesses can demonstrate climate leadership, meet customer and regulatory demands, and gain a competitive edge in sustainability-focused markets.

Key Features of ISO 14067:2018

Accurate, transparent, and comparable product carbon footprint assessments across industries.

Life Cycle Perspective

Applies a cradle-to-grave or cradle-to-gate approach, evaluating greenhouse gas emissions throughout the product life cycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.

Standardized Methods

Frequently Asked Questions

Your ISO 14067 & ISO 14067 Training Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Questions—Answered

ISO 14067:2018 is an international standard that specifies principles, requirements and guidelines for quantifying and reporting the carbon footprint of a product (CFP), consistent with life-cycle assessment (LCA) norms. (ISO)

  • It allows you to credibly quantify the greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions associated with a product’s full life cycle.
  • It demonstrates transparency and robustness in your environmental footprint claims.
  • It helps meet stakeholder expectations, supply-chain demands, and regulatory pressures for carbon-footprint disclosures.

Any organisation producing goods or services can benefit. ISO 14067 applies across sectors and industries where product carbon emissions matter—manufacturing, packaging, electronics, consumer goods, and beyond.

Typical steps include:
  • Defining the product, functional unit and system boundary.
  • Collecting data and performing life-cycle inventory (LCI) and impact assessment (LCA).
  • Identifying GHG emissions and removals, calculating COâ‚‚-equivalent figures.
  • Verifying results against ISO 14067 requirements.
  • Issuing an independent certification statement confirming compliance.

  • A formal certificate or statement confirming that your product carbon-footprint study conforms to ISO 14067.
  • A detailed report summarising goal/scope, methodology, data sources, results, assumptions and improvement opportunities.
  • Communication materials suitable for internal use, supply-chain disclosure or stakeholder reporting.

Duration depends on product complexity, number of supply-chain facilities, data maturity, and scope breadth. Generally, once data is ready, the process ranges from 4 to 10 weeks.

You will need:
  • Product definition and functional unit.
  • System boundary (cradle-to-gate, cradle-to-grave, etc.).
  • Inventory data: raw materials, energy use, transport, manufacturing, use phase, end-of-life.
  • Emission factors, assumptions, allocation methods.
  • Evidence of data quality, data sources and uncertainties.
  • If applicable, previous footprint studies or baseline data.

No. ISO 14067 quantifies the carbon footprint; it does not inherently certify “zero” or “net-zero” footprint. Reduction and offset strategies are separate actions and must be clearly distinguished from the carbon-footprint claim.

Yes. ISO 14067 integrates with life-cycle assessment standards (such as ISO 14040/14044) and supports broader environmental management or sustainability strategies (e.g., eco-design, EPDs, supply-chain carbon reduction).

Submit your organisation’s details including product/scope, number of product variants, supply-chain data readiness, life-cycle boundary. We will review, define audit scope, timeline, and provide a customised proposal.
