GENEVA — The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an independent, non-governmental membership organization, develops and publishes voluntary international standards.
ISO 14046 supplies all kinds of organizations with the means to measure their “water footprint,” or the potential environmental impact of water use and pollution, stated the release.
Based on a life-cycle assessment, the standard determines the extent of possible environmental impacts related to water and identifies ways of reducing those impacts, continued the release.
The standard also facilitates water effectiveness and optimization of water management at product, process and structural levels, as well as provides scientifically dependable information for reporting footprint results and tracking them over time, continued the release.
Medium- and low voltage equipment specifiers can adopt digital twin technology to adopt a circular economy approach for sustainable, low-carbon equipment design.
Medium- and low voltage equipment manufacturers can prepare for environmental regulations now by using innovative MV switchgear design that eliminates SF6 use.
Using digital tools and apps for nearby monitoring and control increases safety and reduces arc flash hazards since electrical equipment can be operated from a safer distance....
