The purpose of this Technical Report is to identify and describe the elements and issues concerning Type III
environmental declarations and corresponding programmes, as well as to provide information in specific areas where general agreement among experts exists.
This Technical Report also discusses issues that should be resolved prior to the possible development of an
International Standard. It recognizes that there are various Type III environmental declarations in use and that the concept is still evolving.
In the work plan of the Type III task group, a Type III environmental declaration is described as "quantified
environmental life cycle product information, provided by a supplier, based on independent verification, (e.g. third party), (critically reviewed) systematic data, presented as a set of categories of parameter (for a sector group)
-
The Type III environmental declaration is non-selective but presents the information in a format that facilitates
comparison between products
-
The Type III environmental declaration includes information supplied to industrial customers and to end-use
consumers
-
"Third party" does not necessarily imply the involvement of a certification body."
