ISO 14025 Type III Environmental Declarations Certification
The ISO 14025:2011 standard specifies requirements and procedures to enable the preparation, presentation, review, and use of environmental declarations. These declarations are intended to communicate the life cycle impacts (LCIs) and life cycle assessments (LCAs) of a product or service in a transparent, complete, accurate, and verified manner.
ISO 14025 Type III Environmental Declarations Certification is particularly valuable for manufacturers who want to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability. It allows them to provide detailed information about the environmental impacts of their products throughout their lifecycle—from raw material extraction through manufacturing, use, and disposal. This certification can significantly enhance a company's reputation as an environmentally responsible entity.
For quality managers and compliance officers, this certification ensures adherence to international standards, thereby reducing legal risks associated with non-compliance. R&D engineers can leverage these declarations to optimize product design for reduced environmental impact. Procurement teams benefit from the ability to source products that meet stringent environmental criteria, ensuring a sustainable supply chain.
The process involves several steps, including data collection on resource use and emissions; life cycle inventory analysis (LCIA); interpretation of results into environmental impacts; verification by an independent third party; and finally, publication in a transparent manner. This ensures that the information communicated is credible and reliable.
Accredited laboratories like Eurolab play a crucial role in this certification process by providing expert services to ensure compliance with ISO 14025:2011 requirements. Our team of experts is well-versed in conducting comprehensive assessments, interpreting data accurately, and preparing the final report that meets all specified criteria.
To better understand the scope and applicability of this certification, let’s delve into some applied standards:
| Applied Standards |
|---|
| ISO 14025:2011 – Guidelines for the Content and Presentation of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Information and Declarations |
| ISO 14040:2006 – Environmental Management - Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Principles and Frameworks |
The above standards outline the methodologies for conducting LCAs and preparing environmental declarations, which are integral to achieving ISO 14025 Type III certification.

The ISO 14025 standard sets forth the criteria for preparing and presenting environmental declarations, which are essential documents that communicate the life cycle impacts of a product or service. These declarations must be accurate, transparent, and verified by an independent party to ensure their reliability.
ISO 14040 provides the principles and frameworks necessary for conducting LCAs, ensuring consistency in methodology across different products and services. Together, these standards form the foundation upon which ISO 14025 Type III Environmental Declarations Certification is built.
