This standard, utilizing existing case studies from various verticals, such as manufacturing, energy and healthcare, describes a process model for environmental liability (e-liability) accounting for systems engineering and how that model should be introduced, adapted and applied. E-liability enables the accurate tracking and measurement of supply chain and own-company product emissions. It helps resolve issues related to double-counting and estimations in current carbon accounting practices, empowering organizations to generate real-time, precise, and auditable data for the entire lifecycle emissions of all their products and services. This standard is generalizable to accounting for other environmental applications and social impacts. This standard creates a systems process and a data model that can be used across the product development and implementation lifecycle. This model reflects emissions across the entire sourced supply and value chain. This standard enables informative product descriptions to include a quantitative estimate of carbon emissions produced. The standard provides a framework for adapting to and implementing its guidelines. Furthermore, the standard includes a framework on how to apply the standard to additional biodiversity and social impacts using this model.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
