SUSTAINABILITY STANDARDS/ISO Guide 82 Guidelines for Addressing Sustainability in Standards

ISO Guide 82:2014 provides guidance to standards writers on how to take account of sustainability in the drafting, revision and updating of ISO standards and similar deliverables.

It outlines a methodology that ISO standards writers can use to develop their own approach to addressing sustainability on a subject-specific basis.

This Guide makes reference to related ISO deliverables, as appropriate, e.g. ISO Guide 64 (which addresses environmental issues in product standards) and ISO 26000 (which provides guidance on social responsibility).
