PAS 2050 revised
BSI has published a revised version of its carbon footprinting standard PAS 2050 to make it more accessible and to bring it into line with other international footprinting methods
The specification, which outlines a framework for assessing the amount of carbon emitted in the creation of products and services, now allows for the incorporation of additional sector-specific requirements.
It also clarifies how recyclable materials should be assessed and includes emissions from biomass and other biogenic sources.
BSI has also called for industry feedback on a draft of its new quality standard – PAS 2030 – for firms offering services under the government’s Green Deal. The new standard, created for DECC, sets out requirements to ensure the installation of new energy-efficiency measures is completed properly.
