This International Standard establishes the principles and specifies the procedures for developing Type III
environmental declaration programmes and Type III environmental declarations. It specifically establishes the
use of the ISO 14040 series of standards in the development of Type III environmental declaration
programmes and Type III environmental declarations.
This International Standard establishes principles for the use of environmental information, in addition to those
given in ISO 14020.
Type III environmental declarations as described in this International Standard are primarily intended for use
in business-to-business communication, but their use in business-to-consumer communication under certain
conditions is not precluded.
This International Standard does not override, or in any way change, legally required environmental
information, claims or labelling, or any other applicable legal requirements.
This International Standard does not include sector-specific provisions, which may be dealt with in other ISO
documents. It is intended that sector-specific provisions in other ISO documents related to Type III
environmental declarations be based on and use the principles and procedures of this International Standard.
