CSA R7008:19 pdf download – Sustainability standard for household dehumidifier appliances.
4.9 Dematerialization — the reduction of the mass of and/or number of materials used in the production of the final product.
Note: In the Task Force’s opinion, for appliances, a more appropriate measure is the more efficient use of raw materials. For example, reintroducing scrap materials into the production process might not result in a reduction in mass, but would constitute a more efficient use of raw materials.
4.10 Environmental management system (EMS) — part of an organization’s management system used to develop and implement its environmental policy and manage its environmental aspects. [ISO 14050]
4.11 EU eco-management and audit scheme (EMAS) — an environmental performance management
tool covered in Regulation (EC) No. 1221/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25
November 2009, based on Environmental Management System (EMS) guided by ISO 14001.
Note: EMAS provides a methodology for environmental audit, policy development, and system implementation, and requires independent third-party verification and validation of the EMAS and results in a registry listing and certified eco-label: http:// ec. europa. eu/envi ronment/emas./index_ en. htm
4.12 First, second, and third party — First party — generally the person or organization that provides the object.
Note: In the case of this Standard, the first party is the appliance manufacturer.
Second party — generally the person or organization that has a user interest in the product,
such as the customer.
Third party — the person or body that is recognized as being independent of the person or organization that provides the object, as well as the user or customer of the object. [ISO/IEC
17000]
4.13 First-party declaration — a procedure by which a first party conveys assurance that the object of conformity fulfills specified requirements. [ISO/IEC 17000]
4.14 Global warming potential (GWP) — a factor describing the radiative forcing impact of one mass-based unit of a given GHG relative to an equivalent unit of carbon dioxide over a given period of time.
4.15 Greenhouse gas (GHG) — the gaseous constituent of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorbs and emits radiation at specific wavelengths within the spectrum of infrared radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface, the atmosphere, and clouds. [ISO 14050]
4.16 Greenhouse gas (GHG) scopes [ISO 14064-1] — Direct greenhouse gas emission (scope I) — GHG emission from greenhouse gas sources
owned or controlled by the organization.
Energy indirect greenhouse gas emission (scope II) — GHG emission from the generation of imported electricity, heat, or steam consumed by the organization.
Other indirect greenhouse gas emission (scope Ill) — GHG emission, other than energy indirect GHG emission, that is a consequence of an organization’s activities but arises from greenhouse gas sources that are owned or controlled by other organizations.
4.17 Hot buttons – issues of high concern for consumers when thinking about sustainability and more specifically about the impact of product life cycles. Note:“Hot buttons” (consumer-identified issues) might or might not align with “hot spots” (expert-identified issues). 4.18 Hot spots – areas of a product life cycle that have significant potential impact on a given environmental, social, or economic aspect. Note: While there are no set quantitative criteria to determine a hot spot, it is generally regarded as contributing more than 5% of the total impact on a given aspect. In some instances, a hot spot might not be represented as a percentage of impact due to lack of data or complexity of the system. In these instances, a hot spot can be identified based solely on expert opinion. 4.19 Impact category – a class representing environmental issues of concern to which LCA results can be assigned. Note: Commonly accepted LCA impact categories include: a) climate change potential (also known as“global warming potential”一GWP); b) acidification potential (AP); c) ozone depletion potential (ODP); and d) eutrophication potential (EP). For some impact categories, LCA might not be the most appropriate quantification tool. For example, the ecotoxicity (ET) and human toxicity (HT) impact categories are more commonly determined using chemical risk assessment. 4.20 Industrial scrap – materials such as rework, regrind, or scrap generated in a process and capable of being reclaimed within the same process that generated it.CSA R7008:19 pdf download.
