A life cycle assessment is an evaluation of all the environmental factors associated with a product. An increasing number of consumers, as well as customers in industry and commerce, are demanding accurate and reliable information on this.
This enables testing in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14040 and DIN EN ISO 14044 by TÜV NORD CERT Prüf- und Umweltgutachtergesellschaft mbH. With a ‘verified life cycle assessment’ of their products, manufacturers build trust in their goods and lay the foundation for their successful marketing. Customers are provided with a reliable basis for purchasing decisions, whilst manufacturers themselves can align and drive forward product development and internal processes in an environmentally responsible manner.
Furthermore, it is possible to conduct a critical review of the LCA methodology for products within a product group. This enables companies to efficiently analyse and optimise the environmental performance of their entire product range. The benefits of this expanded approach lie in the comprehensive assessment and comparability of products within a group, leading to a consistent and strategic alignment of sustainability goals. Companies can thus further develop their environmental strategy on a solid, scientifically sound basis and strengthen their market position.
Take advantage of our impartial and well-founded critical reviews to underline your commitment to sustainability and strengthen your market position.
Life cycle assessments are most commonly requested in the automotive industry. However, the verification of a life cycle assessment can, in principle, be carried out for any product.
TÜV NORD conducts an independent audit of your life cycle assessment. The advantage of having the audit performed by a neutral third party is that it allows for the comparison of products or different stages of a product’s development. This establishes a foundation of trust that provides your potential customers with the information they need to make purchasing decisions. For example, buyers can specifically select those suppliers whose products exhibit the best environmental characteristics. This is of particular importance in the automotive industry. A transparent and verified life cycle assessment serves as a ticket to the market here, as it offers
The relevant manufacturer must provide a comprehensive overview of the life cycle of the product under assessment – from the extraction of raw materials through to production, use, disposal and recycling. The primary focus here is on the potential environmental impacts.
