PEDmäärittelyt

PEDmäärittelyt is a Finnish term that translates to "PED definitions" or "PED specifications". It refers to a set of requirements, criteria, and standards used to define and describe a Product Environmental Declaration (PED). A PED is a document that quantifies the environmental performance of a product throughout its life cycle.

These PEDmäärittelyt are crucial for ensuring consistency, comparability, and accuracy in the environmental information provided by different PEDs. They typically cover aspects such as the scope of the life cycle assessment (LCA), the data collection methods, the impact assessment categories to be considered, and the reporting format. Adhering to these specifications allows stakeholders to reliably compare the environmental impacts of similar products.

The development of PEDmäärittelyt often involves international standards, such as those from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and specific industry or national regulations. They are essential for the credibility and transparency of environmental claims made by manufacturers and suppliers. Without standardized definitions and specifications, the meaning and interpretation of PED data could vary significantly, undermining their usefulness.
