4.15 Eutrophication – enrichment of water, both fresh and saline, by nutrients, especially compounds of nitrogen and phosphorus, that will accelerate the growth of algae and higher forms of plant life. 4.16 First party – generally the person or organization that provides the object. In the case of this Standard, the first party is the appliance manufacturer. Also see “Third party”, Clause 4.42. 4.17 First-party declaration – procedure by which a first party conveys assurance (self-declaration) that the object of conformity fufills specified requirements. [Reprinted from Conformity assessment – Vocabulary and general principles, ISO/IEC 17000] 4.18 Gate-to-gate – suggests that the data set or study only covers the boundary of one company and that nothing upstream or downstream of that organization is considered. 4.19 Gilobal warming potential (GWP) – 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. 4.20 Gireenhouse gas (GHG) – 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. [Environmental management – Vocabulary, ISO 14050] 4.21 Greenhouse gas (GHG) scopes – Direct greenhouse gas emission (WRI scope I) – GHG emission from greenhouse gas sources owned or controlled by the organization. Energy indirect greenhouse gas emission (WRI scope II) – GHG emission from the generation of imported electricity, heat, or steam consumed by the organization. Other indirect greenhouse gas emission (WRI scope 11) – GHG emission, other than energy indirect GHG emissions, which is a consequence of an organization’s activities, but arises from greenhouse gas sources that are owned or controlled by other organizations.
6 Point allocation system 6.1 Products shall be allocated points for performance in each of the attribute categories in accordance with the point system. The points from all attributes shall be added together to produce a total score. A product can achieve a maximum score of 100 points from the sum of points when evaluated against the required four attributes. 6.2 The fifth attribute, innovation, is a bonus attribute. A maximum of 10 innovation points may be added to the product score if it has less than 100 points, but the product score shall not receive innovation points that take the total score above 100 points. 6.3 For products to be considered as having some level of recognized sustainability under this Standard, such products shall: a) have received a minimum of 60 points; and b) have some points in each of the required attributes [i.e., Items (a) to (d) in Clause 6.5]; Note: An example of a balanced manner for the product to achieve the 60 point level is for it to receive 20 points in the energy consumption during use attribute, 20 points in the materials attribute, 5 points in the end of life attribute, and 15 points in the manufacturing and operations atribute. c) have satisfied the applicable prerequisites and received at least 1 point in one or more of the following Clauses under the materials attribute: 9.1 .2.2.2(e), 9.1.3.2.2(a), 9.1 .3.2.2(b), 9.1.4.2.2(a), 9.1.4.2.2(b), and 9.1.5.2.2 (b); . d) have satisfied the applicable prerequisites and received at least 1 point in one or more of the following Clauses under the manufacturing & operations attribute: 9.3.4.2.1(d), 9.3.5.3.1(c), 9.3.6.2.1(a), 9.3.6.2.1(b), and 9.3.6.2.1(d); and e) have satisfied the applicable prerequisites and received at least 1 point in one or more of the following Clauses under the end-of-life attribute: 9.4.2.1(b), 9.4.2.1(C), 9.4.2.1(d), 9.4.3.1(b), 9.4.3.1(c), and 9.4.3.1(d).
