ISO 14067 - Product Carbon Footprint
The course aims to provide the skills and knowledge necessary to operate as an Auditor/Lead Auditor for the verification and validation of Product Carbon Footprints (ISO 14067). In particular, for professionals already in possession of a certificate of participation in a course on verification and validation (ISO/IEC 17029, ISO 14065, ISO 14064-3).
This training provides professionals with the skills and knowledge on the verification and validation of Product Carbon Footprints (CFP) in accordance with ISO 14067. Designed for those already certified in verification and validation standards (ISO/IEC 17029, ISO 14065, ISO 14064-3), the course covers CFP quantification, LCA methodology, and environmental communication.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the principles and requirements of ISO 14067
- Conduct Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) focused on climate change impacts
- Quantify and interpret product carbon footprints using standardized methods
- Apply allocation rules and manage data for CFP studies
- Prepare and communicate CFP reports in compliance with ISO 14026
The course is aimed at
- Environmental and sustainability professionals
- Auditors and lead auditors in GHG verification
- Product managers and LCA practitioners
- Professionals certified in ISO/IEC 17029, ISO 14065, or ISO 14064-3
The following topics will be covered in the course:
- Introduction to Climate Change and Life Cycle Thinking
- Overview of ISO 14067:2018 Standard
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) according to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044
- Goal and Scope Definition
- Life Cycle Inventory and Data Management
- Impact Assessment and Interpretation
- Biogenic Carbon, Land Use Change (dLUC/iLUC)
- CFP Reporting and Environmental Communication

- Final Exam
The ISO 14067 – Product Carbon Footprint training course is designed to equip professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the principles, methodologies, and verification techniques required to assess and validate the carbon footprint of products.
Participants will explore the ISO 14067:2018 standard in detail, including its integration with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The training emphasizes the importance of accurate data collection, allocation procedures, and the use of primary and secondary data. Special attention is given to biogenic carbon, land use change (dLUC/iLUC), and the interpretation of results for environmental declarations.
Through case studies and sector-specific exercises, learners will gain practical insights into applying CFP methodologies across various industries. The course also covers the requirements for CFP reporting and communication, aligned with ISO 14026, ensuring participants are prepared for third-party verification and stakeholder engagement.
