EVS-EN ISO 14021:2026

ISO 14021 establishes principles, specifies requirements and gives guidance on self-declared environmental claims about products and their environmental statement programmes. It includes claims that also cover related social and economic aspects that are affected by environmental conditions or the environmental performance of a product.

ISO 14021 defines selected terms commonly used in self-declared environmental claims and provides qualifications for their use, as well as describing the documentation and methodologies required for assessing self-declared environmental claims.

It can be applied to self-declared environmental claims that predominantly take the form of words, but can also be symbols or graphics on product or package labels or appear in product literature, technical bulletins, advertising and publicity, including on digital platforms.

ISO 14021:2026 text has been approved in Europe as EN ISO 14021:2026 without any changes.
