Summary
Details
- Global
ISO 14067 can be adopted by any organisation that wants to calculate and report product-level GHG emissions (goods or services), including manufacturers, brand owners, and supply-chain partners exchanging product carbon footprint data.

Background
ISO 14067 sits in the ISO 14000 family as the product-focused counterpart to broader environmental management and LCA standards. It was developed to bring consistency and comparability to product carbon footprinting by grounding CFP studies in the established LCA framework (goal & scope, inventory, impact assessment, interpretation) set out in ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.
In practice, ISO 14067 is often used to support Scope 3 management (supplier/customer emissions) by enabling companies to quantify emissions at the product level and share results in supply chains.
Reporting requirements
ISO 14067 is not a law, but it sets expectations for what a credible product carbon footprint study should document and communicate.
Define goal, scope and system boundary (e.g., partial CFP such as cradle-to-gate, or broader boundaries), consistent with ISO 14040/14044.
Quantify GHG emissions/removals across the product system using LCA-based inventory methods and clearly stated modelling choices (e.g., allocation and assumptions).
Use robust, transparent data and document data sources, quality and representativeness so results can be interpreted appropriately.
Produce a CFP report that records the methodology and key decisions sufficiently for review and reproducibility.
If results are used for external communication, ensure the communication is supported by documented methods and evidence (and, where needed, review/assurance).
Third-party verification is commonly used to increase trust with customers and procurement programs, especially when CFPs are exchanged in supply chains.
Current status
The current edition is ISO 14067:2018, widely referenced in corporate product carbon footprinting and supplier data programs. Its continued relevance has increased alongside large-scale value-chain emissions initiatives that seek interoperable, product-level GHG data such as PACT. Many organisations also pair ISO 14067 with digital PCF exchange approaches and industry guidelines to streamline supplier engagement and Scope 3 decision-making.
