The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Subcommittee (SC) in ISO operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
This document specifies the evaluation method of the environmental life cycle assessment (E-LCA) of ductile iron (DI) pipes used for water applications as specified in ISO 2531 and ISO 16631. This evaluation method, applicable to ductile iron pipe products, is based on concepts and methods developed in ISO 14040 and its application guidelines in ISO 14044.

This document specifies the evaluation method of life cycle analysis of ductile iron pipes used for water applications as specified in ISO 2531 and ISO 16631. Studies on economic and environmental impacts are important for utility decision-makers as they seek to balance budget concerns over immediate and long-term needs across acquisition, operations and maintenance, and planned end of life. For authorities and engineers designing pipeline systems, the life cycle cost analysis serves as a tool to study various scenarios to determine the right solution for site-specific conditions and community values, as well as to provide the necessary data to support those decisions. Informative annexes are included in this document as a compilation of reference and consensual factors (pumping cost, leakage incident rate, etc.).
