ISO/IEC TS 20125-1:2026

This document is applicable to environmental matters for a digital service. It establishes requirements and recommendations applicable for requirements gathering, design, implementation, operations, maintenance and the end of life of digital services in order to minimise adverse environmental impacts during all stages of its life cycle. It also establishes a common language and understanding on this subject.

This document focuses on reducing the environmental impacts of a digital service. It therefore does not address all aspects of digital service design. For example, it does not address other aspects such as performance, resilience, reliability, availability or development language choice (see other standards covering these topics, e.g. ISO/IEC 25010 and ISO/IEC 27001).

This document does not include matters linked to other corporate social responsibility (CSR) topics, e.g. social, cultural, diversity, inclusion or exclusion.

This document is applicable to all development methodologies (waterfall, agile, etc.).
