What it proves
A quantified cradle-to-gate or cradle-to-grave greenhouse-gas figure for the product, ideally to ISO 14067.
What it does not prove
- Comparability with other products without matching scope, functional unit, and methodology.
- 'Low carbon' as a judgement — the report gives a number, not a benchmark.
Claims it can support
- Has Product Carbon Footprint →
medium risk
Evidence checklist
- Minimum authority
- Manufacturer declared
- Should state
- System Boundary · Functional Unit · Methodology · Reference Year
- Date sensitivity
- Expiry is not the primary issue; check scope and method instead.
Third-party verification elevates this substantially; ask if it was reviewed.
