This document specifies the requirements for quantifying the carbon footprint of those processes, 
materials and technologies within the user's knowledge and control that are necessary for the delivery 
and use of e-media. It covers requirements to account for e-media archiving, distribution, use and 
storage. It is based on a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach, using defined system boundaries and a 
specified functional unit as the basis for complete or partial carbon footprinting studies. These data 
can be referenced throughout supply chains for individual e-media products. 
This document is applicable to a carbon footprint of a product (CFP) study of e-media regarding contents 
and e-media devices.
This document provides a framework for carbon calculators that organisations can follow and that 
can be used as the structure for market- or sector-specific carbon footprinting tools. Studies and tools 
constructed within this framework methodology provide carbon footprint quantifications of e-media 
that can be validated, verified and provide reference for future studies.
This document does not assess any social or economic aspects or impacts, or any other environmental 
aspects and related impacts potentially arising from the life cycle of a product.st edition 2018-11 Graphic technology — Quantification and communication for calculating the carbon footprint of e-media Technologie graphique — Quantification et communication pour calculer l'empreinte carbone des médias électroniques Reference number ISO 20294:2018(E) ？ ISO 2018 ISO 20294:2018(E) COPYRIGHT PROTECTED DOCUMENT ？ ISO 2018 All rights r
