BS PD CEN/TR 17004:2016

BS PD CEN/TR 17004:2016 provides guidance on how to apply existing communication models regardingenvironmental concerns to mechanical products.Carrying out communication models for environmental performances of mechanical products can berelevant for several entities, e.g. single companies, enterprises, collective bodies (trade associations,standardization committees, etc.) and others.On the one hand side, mechanical products represent a large variety of non-uniform items. They can becharacterized by several properties distinguishing them from each other. On the other hand side,various generic standards/standard-series are existent addressing on how to communicateenvironmental issues.This Technical Report provides a consistent approach on how to match a particular mechanical productwith an appropriate generic standard.In order to do so, this Technical Report contains criteria to cluster the great variety of mechanicalproducts into categories. Based on this categorization, existing standards concerning environmentalperformance communication are evaluated with regards to their suitability.Cross References:EN ISO 14050ISO 14050CEN/TS 16524:2013EN ISO 14001ISO 14001EN ISO 14006ISO 14006EN ISO 14020ISO 14020EN ISO 14021:2016ISO 14021:2016EN ISO 14024ISO 14024EN ISO 14025ISO 14025EN ISO 14040EN ISO 14044ISO 14044ISO 14040ISO/TR 14062ISO 14955-1
