ISO 14045 - Eco-Efficiency Assessment of Product Systems
- An ISO 14045 course focuses on the principles, requirements, and guidelines for the eco-efficiency assessment of product and service systems. The standard is used to evaluate the environmental performance of a product alongside its product system value, integrating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data to promote sustainable design and operations.
- Eco-efficiency assessment is a quantitative management tool which enables the study of life-cycle environmental impacts of a product system along with its product system value for a stakeholder.
- Within eco-efficiency assessment, environmental impacts are evaluated using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as prescribed by other International Standards (ISO 14040, ISO 14044). Consequently, eco-efficiency assessment shares with LCA many important principles such as life cycle perspective, comprehensiveness, functional unit approach, iterative nature, transparency and priority of a scientific approach.
Learning Outcomes
- Define Goal and Scope: Establish the purpose of the eco-efficiency assessment, system boundaries, and functional units
- Conduct Environmental Assessment: Use LCA methods to quantify environmental impacts across all life-cycle stages
- Assess Product Value: Measure the worth or desirability of the product using monetary or non-monetary indicators
- Quantify Eco-efficiency: Relate the quantified environmental performance to the product system value
- Report and Interpret: Write transparent, accurate reports and conduct quality assurance and critical reviews
- Establish clear terminology and a common methodological framework for eco-efficiency assessment
- Enable the practical use of eco-efficiency assessment for a wide range of product (including service) systems
- Provide clear guidance on the interpretation of eco-efficiency assessment results
- Encourage the transparent, accurate and informative reporting of eco-efficiency assessment results

This International Standard describes the principles, requirements and guidelines for eco-efficiency assessment for product systems, including:
Requirements, recommendations and guidelines for specific choices of categories of environmental impact and values are not included. The intended application of the eco-efficiency assessment is considered during the goal and scope definition phase, but the actual use of the results is outside the scope of this International Standard.
