ISO 14024 — Type I Environmental Labelling
ISO 14024 sets out the principles and procedures for developing Type I environmental labels — voluntary, multi-criteria, third-party-verified ecolabels awarded on a life-cycle basis.
Why it matters
Type I ecolabels give consumers and buyers a credible, independently verified signal that a product meets defined environmental performance criteria across its lifecycle — from raw materials to disposal.
RBA Registrars assesses product claims against ISO 14024 principles to support ecolabel scheme applications and greenwashing-resistant environmental claims.
