Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be repr
19、esented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. The procedures used to dev

25、rrections and improved figures.vi ISO 2017 All rights reserved ISO/TR 14073:2017(E) Introduction Principles, requirements and guidelines for the quantification and reporting of a water footprint are given in ISO 14046. The water footprint assessment according to ISO 14046 can be conducted as a stand
26、-alone assessment, where only impacts related to water are assessed, or as part of a life cycle assessment. In addition, a variety of modelling choices and approaches are possible depending on the goal and scope of the assessment. The water footprint can be reported as a single value or as a profile
27、 of impact category indicator results. This document provides illustrative examples on the application of ISO 14046 to further enhance understanding of ISO 14046 and to facilitate its widespread application. At the time of the publication of this document, water footprint assessment methods are deve
28、loping rapidly. Practitioners are encouraged to be aware of the latest developments when undertaking water footprint studies. These examples are for illustrative purposes only and some of the data used are fictitious. The data are not intended to be used outside of the context of this document. The
29、Bibliography might contain references to methods that are not fully compliant with ISO 14046:2014. ISO 2017 All rights reserved vii Environmental management Water footprint Illustrative examples on how to apply ISO 14046 1 Scope This document provides illustrative examples of how to apply ISO 14046,
30、 in order to assess the water footprint of products, processes and organizations based on life cycle assessment. The examples are presented to demonstrate particular aspects of the application of ISO 14046 and therefore do not present all of the details of an entire water footprint study report as r
31、equired by ISO 14046. NOTE The examples are presented as different ways of applying ISO 14046 and do not preclude alternative ways of calculating the water footprint, provided they are in accordance with ISO 14046. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a

40、to ISO 14046 can be: a stand-alone assessment where only impacts related to water are assessed; a part of a life cycle assessment (LCA) where consideration is given to a comprehensive set of environmental impacts, which are not only impacts related to water.
