Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see www .iso .org/

Introduction
0.1  Audience
This document is primarily aimed at organizations that have an environmental management system
(EMS), such as that described in ISO 14001, whether or not combined with a quality management
system (QMS). This document can also be useful for organizations that only have a QM, as well as for
organizations without a formalized EMS or QMS, but that are interested in reducing adverse product-
related environmental impacts.
NOTE In this document, the term “product” is understood to cover both goods and services (see 3.2.3).
0.2 Concepts and definitions
Organizations are recognizing both the need to reduce adverse impacts on the environment from
their product(s) and the need to include environmental considerations in design and development,
applying life cycle thinking. This process is generally called “ecodesign”. Other terms that are used
include “design for environment (DfE)”, “environmentally conscious design (ECD)”, “environmentally
sustainable design” and “green design”. The term “ecodesign” is used throughout this document.
NOTE In this document, design and development is regarded as a process, and is referred to as simply
“design and development”.
Ecodesign is defined in this document as a systematic approach, which considers environmental
aspects in design and development with the aim to reduce adverse environmental impacts throughout
the life cycle of a product. In this document it is understood that the EMS should take account of design
and development, and, within that, ecodesign, with a view to enhancing product-related environmental
performance.
Ecodesign should be applied to new and existing products, including the modification of processes as
needed in delivering products.
0.3  Life cycle thinking and trade-offs
0.3.1  Life cycle thinking
Life cycle thinking is essential for ecodesign.
Life cycle thinking means the consideration of environmental aspects relevant to a product during its
entire life cycle. This implies considering consecutive and interlinked stages, such as:
— material acquisition;
— design and development;
— manufacturing;
— delivery and installation;
— use (including reuse, maintenance, repair, remanufacturing, refurbishing and upgrading);
— end-of-life treatment;
— disposal.
NOTE In this document, the use of the term “life cycle” is different from other terms used in relation to
products, e.g. the term “product life cycle (PLC)” describes the market stages of a product: introduction, growth,
maturity and decline, and the term “product life cycle management (PLM)” describes a system used to manage
the data and design process associated with the life of a product, from its design and development through to its
manufacture and finally to its disposal.

0.3.2  Trade-offs
Inherent in ecodesign are trade-offs, which, in this document, implies balancing pros and cons between
various product-related environmental requirements and alternative product solutions in order to
make an informed decision on the basis of the net benefit to interested parties.
0.4  Why implement ecodesign?
Legislation, codes of conduct and customer demands associated with product-related environmental
impacts are being implemented at an increasing rate worldwide. This is leading many organizations
to focus on improving the environmental performance of their products across different life cycle
stages. Such organizations need guidance on how to develop and implement systematic approaches to
ecodesign, in order to achieve the organization’s environmental objectives and to enable a continual
improvement in the environmental performance of products. This will have an impact on design and
development and will need to be managed within the EMS.
An organization and its product(s) have environmental impacts (e.g. climate change) that are derived
from its environmental aspects. It can influence its product-related environmental aspects, e.g. energy
consumption through decisions in design and development.
In order to be of benefit to the organization and to ensure that it achieves its environmental objectives,
it is intended that ecodesign be carried out as an integral part of the business operations of the
organization, particularly in design and development.
The reasons why an organization should integrate ecodesign into design and development include:
a) increasing concern over damage to the environment, e.g. climate change, depletion of resources,
loss of biodiversity, pollution;
b) recognition of business opportunities related to resource efficiency and the circular economy
(e.g. strategies to enable lower carbon and water use, as well as product-life-extension strategies
including product reuse, repair, refurbishment and remanufacturing);
c) life cycle thinking facilitates:
1) the identification of product-related environmental requirements expressed by customers, and
other external and internal interested parties:
2) the avoidance of unintentionally shifting environmental impacts within the life cycle.
0.5  Why ecodesign in an EMS?
As stated in ISO 14001, an organization is expected to consider life cycle thinking when determining
the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services that it determines it can either control
or influence. A benefit of linking an EMS to design and development, therefore, is that it requires the
identification of product-related environmental aspects and their associated environmental impacts at
each life cycle stage.
0.6  What are the needs and considerations when integrating ecodesign in EMS?
The integration of ecodesign into design and development needs the support of top management (see 5.1).
When ecodesign is implemented within an EMS, the person(s) responsible for the EMS should have an
understanding of design and development (see Clause 11), product-related environmental issues and
the requirements of interested parties. In this way, the integrity of the EMS is not jeopardized and the
product-related environmental objectives can be achieved.
If ecodesign is not implemented within an EMS, the organization should provide product-related
environmental training and guidance to those involved in design and development in order to ensure
the integration of ecodesign into the process.

ISO 14006:2020(E)

Implementing ecodesign requires a multidisciplinary approach with buy-in from all relevant business
functions (e.g. marketing, sales, logistics, manufacturing) and external partners (e.g. recyclers,
suppliers, consultants).
To incorporate ecodesign in the context of an EMS, aligned with the organization’s business objectives,
competence needs should be considered. This includes:
a) understanding how products are being designed and developed;
b) determining and evaluating the importance of the environmental aspects and the associated
impacts of a product on the environment throughout its life cycle;
c) determining the environmental significance in terms that designers can understand and apply;
d) identifying appropriate measures to reduce the adverse effects of environmental impacts;
e) understanding how ecodesign and its management fit within an EMS or are supported by an EMS.
0.7  Relationships with other documents
This document addresses three interrelated areas required for ecodesign within an EMS: environment,
design and development, and management systems.
Figure 1 illustrates the relationship between the three related International Standards, their scope
of knowledge and their relationship with this document, which links all three areas and related
documents. See also Annex B.
Figure 1 — Relationship between ISO 14001, ISO 9001, IEC 62430, this document and the
organization’s business functions
ISO 14001 links the management of an organization’s processes with environmental aspects and
associated environmental impacts. It includes design management in ISO 14001:2015, 8.1 a).
ISO 9001:2015, 8.3, covers the design management process, but does not explicitly cover environmental
impacts.
IEC 62430:2019 assists in the incorporation of an evaluation of environmental aspects and associated
impacts into design and development, but, as such, it does not fully explain the activities involved
within an environmental and business management framework, such as those described in ISO 14001.
This document provides guidelines to assist organizations in establishing a systematic and structured
approach to the incorporation and implementation of ecodesign within an EMS, such as that described
in ISO 14001. The guidelines are intended to be applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size
and product provided.
