Directive (EU) 2024/1610 (entered into force July 2024, transposition by July 2026) creates a legal right to repair for consumers. Manufacturers must: supply spare parts and repair tools at reasonable prices; make repair manuals publicly available; offer repair services for at least 5–10 years after product sale; provide a European Repair Information Form (ERIF) with transparent repair costs. Initial product scope: washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, TVs, smartphones. Extended scope — including textiles and apparel — expected under the ESPR framework.

IN EFFECTFTC Guides for Use of Environmental Marketing Claims
FTC Green Guides (last revised 2012; substantive update under review 2023–2024) govern environmental marketing claims in the United States. Specific guidance covers: 'recycled content' (must specify percentage and pre/post-consumer source), 'pre-owned' and 'refurbished' (cannot imply like-new condition without basis), 'sustainable' (requires substantiation across the full product lifecycle), and carbon offset claims. Violations are enforceable as deceptive practices under FTC Act Section 5. Penalty: up to $51,744 per violation per day.

The CAP Code (non-broadcast) and BCAP Code (broadcast) require all UK advertising to be legal, decent, honest, and truthful. ASA has published specific guidance on environmental claims (2023): ads must not imply a product's overall environmental impact is neutral or positive without robust lifecycle evidence. Upheld rulings require advertisers to hold substantiating evidence before publication — not after a complaint. Penalty: ad removal, referral to Trading Standards, and reputational sanctions.

ISO 14021:2016 specifies requirements and guidance for self-declared environmental claims (Type II eco-labels) including: 'recycled content' (must state percentage and pre/post-consumer split), 'recyclable', 'refurbished', 'remanufactured', 'reclaimed', 'reduced energy/water consumption', and 'extended life product.' Claims must be accurate, verifiable, relevant, and not misleading. Adopted by reference in EU, UK, Australian, and Canadian environmental claims enforcement frameworks.
ISO 14040:2006
IN EFFECTNOT SCOREDEnvironmental Management — Life Cycle Assessment — Principles and Framework
ISO 14040:2006 describes the principles and framework for life cycle assessment (LCA): definition of the goal and scope, the life cycle inventory analysis (LCI) phase, the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) phase, the life cycle interpretation phase, reporting and critical review, limitations, the relationship between the LCA phases, and conditions for use of value choices and optional elements. It covers LCA and LCI studies. It does NOT describe the LCA technique in detail and does NOT specify methodologies for the individual phases — a study claiming a method on 14040's authority is claiming something 14040 declines to give. Edition 2, published 2006-07, 20 pages, ISO/TC 207/SC 5, ICS 13.020.10 / 13.020.60. Stage 90.93 — confirmed on review in 2022, so this version remains current. One amendment: ISO 14040:2006/Amd 1:2020.
ISO 14044:2006
IN EFFECTNOT SCOREDEnvironmental Management — Life Cycle Assessment — Requirements and Guidelines
ISO 14044:2006 specifies requirements and provides guidelines for life cycle assessment: definition of goal and scope, the life cycle inventory analysis (LCI) phase, the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) phase, the life cycle interpretation phase, reporting and critical review, limitations, the relationship between the LCA phases, and conditions for use of value choices and optional elements. It covers LCA and LCI studies. This is the requirements half of the pair — 14040 states the framework, 14044 states what a study must actually do to conform. Edition 1, published 2006-07, 46 pages, ISO/TC 207/SC 5, ICS 13.020.10 / 13.020.60. Stage 90.93 — confirmed on review in 2022, so this version remains current. Two amendments: Amd 1:2017 and Amd 2:2020.
ISO 14067:2018
IN EFFECTNOT SCOREDGreenhouse Gases — Carbon Footprint of Products — Requirements and Guidelines for Quantification
ISO 14067:2018 specifies principles, requirements and guidelines for quantifying and reporting the carbon footprint of a product (CFP), consistent with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. Requirements for a PARTIAL CFP are also specified. It addresses only a single impact category: climate change. Carbon offsetting and the communication of CFP information are explicitly OUTSIDE its scope — a standard that quantifies a number is not a standard that licenses a label built on it. It assesses no social or economic aspect and no other environmental impact. Edition 1, published 2018-08, 46 pages, ISO/TC 207/SC 7, ICS 13.020.40. Supersedes the withdrawn ISO/TS 14067:2013.
