Today
2018 edition in force. Revision ISO/WD 14067.2 under way (comments closed 25 May 2026), not yet a committee draft.
Summary
ISO 14067 sets how to calculate the carbon footprint of a product over its life cycle, with a preference for primary data. It is the reference method behind supplier footprints. A revision started in 2024 and is still a working draft.

What this changes for a supplier in China
Buyers moving to supplier-specific data (SBTi V2, CSRD Scope 3) ask a footprint per product. ISO 14067 is the method they expect a Chinese supplier to use.
Expected evidence
- Product carbon footprint per SKU
- Primary activity data per process
- Data quality statement
