Automotive manufacturers may benefit from ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management, ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety, ISO 50001 for energy management, and ISO/IEC 27001 for information security.

The appropriate standards depend on the organization’s activities, operational risks, and customer requirements.

ISO 9001 establishes general quality management system requirements applicable across industries.

IATF 16949 incorporates automotive-specific requirements in conjunction with ISO 9001, addressing areas such as defect prevention, process control, supplier management, and continual improvement.

ISO 14064-1 provides requirements for quantifying and reporting organizational greenhouse gas emissions and removals.

Automotive manufacturers can use this framework to develop greenhouse gas inventories covering relevant manufacturing, energy consumption, transportation, and supply chain activities.

Independent verification can strengthen confidence in reported greenhouse gas information.

ISO 14067 establishes requirements and guidelines for quantifying and reporting product carbon footprints based on life cycle assessment principles.

In the automotive industry, it can be applied to products such as vehicle components, batteries, electronic systems, and other manufactured products.

Independent verification can help establish confidence in reported product carbon footprint information.

Carbon footprint verification can help electric vehicle and battery manufacturers demonstrate the credibility of reported greenhouse gas information.

Product-level assessments can consider relevant life cycle stages, including raw material extraction, component production, manufacturing, distribution, use, and end-of-life treatment, according to the defined assessment boundaries.

Verification may support supply chain transparency, customer requirements, and environmental reporting.

ISO 14064-1 addresses greenhouse gas emissions and removals at the organizational level.

ISO 14067 focuses on the carbon footprint of individual products using life cycle assessment principles.

Automotive organizations may use both standards to understand and report emissions associated with their operations and products.

Automotive organizations can submit a request for proposal to WECERT, providing information about their activities, operational locations, workforce, and requested certification or verification services.

For carbon footprint verification, relevant information may include the reporting boundaries, reporting period, applicable criteria, and greenhouse gas statement or product carbon footprint information.

WECERT can review the request to determine applicable requirements and service availability.
