The present PAS serves as a comprehensive guide for organizations encompassed within its purview, outlining a standardized approach to evaluating a product’s environmental impact from cradle to grave. The primary objective is to support these entities in charting a course through the intricate tapestry of environmental and circular economy regulations and standards, enabling them to strive towards Net Zero goals and empowering consumers with the knowledge to opt for more eco-friendly or sustainable options. It is imperative for organizations to pinpoint the specific clauses that pertain to their products—and possibly more than one—and to diligently enforce the relevant provisions.

Special emphasis is placed on the pertinent legislation outlined in the introductory section. While the legislation cited shares certain overlaps, it predominantly focuses on product safety and the Ecodesign directives, along with the labeling requirements for energy-consuming consumer goods. The international scene surrounding standardized production is characterized by its breadth and patchwork nature; the research meticulously conducted to formulate PAS 7770 uncovered a total of 156 distinct and pertinent standards emanating from the British, international, and European Standards Development Organizations.

PAS 7770 endeavors to amalgamate the most effective practices gleaned from these pertinent standards, offering a significant boon to businesses in terms of practical application. The PAS furnishes direction on the assessment framework for a product’s environmental performance throughout its complete life cycle and also offers insights into the methodologies for measuring and communicating the environmental credentials of energy-related consumer products.
