What is EN ISO 13920:2018 ?

EN ISO 13920:2018 and EN ISO 14027:2018 are both important international standards that provide guidelines for environmental management. EN ISO 13920:2018 is a standard for environmental assessments of products and services, while EN ISO 14027:2018 is a standard for the safety of machinery and measures to prevent or control hazards associated with machinery.

EN ISO 13920:2018 is focused on providing a standardized methodology for evaluating the environmental performance of products and services throughout their life cycle. It seeks to assess the environmental impact of these products and services by considering factors such as resource consumption, emissions, waste generation, and overall environmental footprint. The objective of this standard is to provide organizations with a comprehensive framework for conducting reliable and transparent environmental assessments.

EN ISO 14027:2018 is a professional technical standard that focuses on the safety of machinery and measures to prevent or control hazards associated with machinery. It provides guidelines and specifies requirements for the design, integration, and validation of safety-related parts of control systems. The primary purpose of EN ISO 14027:2018 is to ensure the safety of machinery by minimizing risks and preventing accidents or injuries to personnel operating or maintaining machinery.

The standard achieves this by promoting the use of functional safety principles in the design and implementation of safety-related control systems. It provides a framework for organizations to conduct reliable and transparent environmental assessments and minimize the environmental impact of their products and services.

EN ISO 13920:2018 and EN ISO 14027:2018 are both important international standards that provide guidelines for environmental management. They are widely used in various industries such as manufacturing, construction, and transportation to ensure the safety and environmental sustainability of their products and services.
