scope:
The Guide is intended for standard writers; its purpose is to raise awareness that provisions in product standards can affect the environment in both negative and positive ways. It sets forth considerations that should be taken into account when developing product standards that achieve a proper balance between product function and environmental impacts. To reflect the diversity of environmental impacts that products can have, this Guide may need to be supplemented by sectoral guides.
