Study of Technical Specification Development for Ready-Mixed Concrete Type III Environmental Declarations

Abstract:

In order to address increasingly serious global environmental problems and intensified international trade barriers as well as the promotion of production processes by enterprises for the improvement of environmental impacts, Type III Environmental Declaration has emerged in response to the proper time and conditions and gradually developed into an important mean to solve environmental problems.This study, based on the principles and requirements stated in ISO 14025, takes ready-mixed concrete products as the example to discuss about the formulation of technical specifications for life cycle assessment of the ready-mixed concrete, in order to provide methodological basis and technical support for the formulation of technical specifications for the life cycle assessment of other domestic products as well as for the assessment of Type III Environmental Declaration.
