Scope

This International Standard specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organization can use to enhance its environmental performance. This International Standard is intended for use by an organization seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability.
This International Standard helps an organization achieve the intended outcomes of its environmental management system, which provide value for the environment, the organization itself and interested parties. Consistent with the organization’s environmental policy, the intended outcomes of an environmental management system include:
-enhancement of environmental performance;
-fulfilment of compliance obligations;
-achievement of environmental objectives.
This International Standard is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, type and nature, and applies to the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services that the organization determines it can either control or influence considering a life cycle perspective. This International Standard does not state specific environmental performance criteria.
This International Standard can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve environmental management. Claims of conformity to this International Standard, however, are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization’s environmental management system and fulfilled without exclusion.

Scope

This Standard provides principles and generic guidelines on the management of the risks that settlements and infrastructure face from the consequences of climate change. In particular, it describes a systematic approach to planning the adaptation of settlements and infrastructure based on the risk management process given in AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009.
This Standard is relevant to individuals and organizations concerned with all phases in the lifecycle of settlements or infrastructure that will be affected by climate change. These phases may involve –
(a) policy and planning;
(b) creation or acquisition;
(c) utilization and maintenance; and
(d) renewal and disposal.
Both beneficial and detrimental consequences can arise from climate change.

Scope

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.
