The maritime sector is entering a new era of transparency and accountability. Between regulatory changes like FuelEU Maritime, the IMO’s net-zero framework, and EU sustainability reporting laws, companies now face growing expectations to quantify their environmental impact and prove it.
But how do we ensure that emissions data, lifecycle assessments, and energy performance claims are credible and comparable across ship types, suppliers, and jurisdictions?
That’s where ISO standards come in.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) creates globally accepted frameworks for measuring and managing everything from quality to safety to environmental performance.
In maritime sustainability, ISO standards help companies:
These standards are not just checkboxes they offer a shared technical language that regulators, shipowners, OEMs, and investors can all trust.
Regulators want climate data they can verify. ISO frameworks help companies align with:
ISO-aligned product carbon footprints and LCA models help OEMs and system suppliers demonstrate sustainability performance during tenders and technical evaluations.
By using standardized methods, companies can compare options and model trade-offs more accurately.
At ReFlow, we apply ISO standards to help maritime clients quantify, report, and improve their environmental performance — with confidence and clarity.
We build our carbon modeling and lifecycle tools on the following ISO standards:
By aligning with international standards, we help maritime leaders future-proof their reporting, back up green claims, and make smarter design and fuel choices, backed by data that regulators and stakeholders trust.
