ISO 14006
ISO 14006 (2020 update) provides guidelines for integrating ecodesign into an Environmental Management System (EMS) based on ISO 14001. It does not add additional requirements to the EMS; rather, it embeds a life-cycle perspective and environmental improvement into the design and development process.
Key elements
- Ecodesign policy aligned with corporate sustainability.
- Planning: analysis of environmental aspects and objectives.
- Implementation and operation: design procedures, preliminary LCA, material and process innovation.
- Checking: KPIs, internal audits, review of ESPR compliance.
- Management review: performance evaluation and continuous improvement.
Benefits
- Early compliance with the ESPR Regulation and the Digital Product Passport.
- Average 15% reduction in embodied carbon footprint.
- Improved ESG reputation and access to green finance.
Certification process
- Gap analysis against ISO 14006.
- Implementation of procedures and LCA within the design phases.
- Audit by an accredited certification body.
- Certification valid for 3 years, with annual surveillance audits.
ISO 14006 is the gateway to structured ecodesign, providing a recognised framework to improve products, reduce environmental impacts, and meet European regulatory requirements.
