Key differences
• ISO/TS 14067 includes communication • ISO/TS 14067 based on consensus • PAS 2050 allows exclusions on the basis of materiality (<1%) but at least 95% of complete product life must be included
• PAS 2050, the allocation hierarchy is supplementary requirements (SRs) and then economic allocation as the default approach
• PAS 2050 has ‘should’ requirement for capital goods • ISO/TS and GHG Protocol are quite similar

What are features of ISO/TS 14067? •
It uses principles of ISO 14044, but it adds some specificity – although don’t expect too much!
•
It points you to use Product Category Rules (PCRs) where they are available – SHALL BE ADOPTED, or where more than one they be reviewed and choice justified
•
EPD – e.g. Meat of mammals
•
Japanese PCRs – e.g. chicken
•
Milk: early PCR poor, and IDF (2010) favoured
Cut off criteria • Not now specified • Refers you to ISO 14044 • Effects of selected criteria need to be described • BUT what you do needs to be defined in your report
System boundary • Cover all stages of life cycle if intended to be publically available • Partial LCA only okay if for “internal” application
System boundary
Use phase: Based on published information – • from PCRs • Published international standards • Published national standards • Published industry guidelines • Based on documented use patterns in the selected market
Allocation between co-products • Refers you to ISO 14044 or to PCRs • So still some “subjectivity” • BUT where several alternatives seem applicable, a SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS shall be conducted
What is different? Specific GHG emissions & removals From direct Land Use Change
SHALL be included
SHOULD be SHOULD be included considered
√ √
From indirect Land Use Change From soil Carbon change (if not included in LUC)
√
All SHALL be documented separately (if calculated)
