本指南介绍了测试标准中描述的测试过程的环境改进。本指南的目的是通过提供关于如何解决测试标准中的环境问题的指导来减少测试对环境的影响。 本指南仅适用于测试程序。本指南不描述应如何进行抽样。它应有助于确定必要的抽样环境影响。 以下范围不包括在内: - 实验室的一般操作条件，除非作为测试的一部分规定; - 测试设备的生命周期; 注1测试设备被视为产品。有关产品的环境问题，请参见CEN指南4。 - 测试是生产过程的一部分; 注2:在CEN指南4中已经考虑了生产过程的一部分（例如功能或质量测试）的测试。 - 测试报告对环境的影响（例如使用纸张，撰写报告）。 本指南中不考虑要测试产品的环境改善，但在CEN指南4中。 气候变化的考虑不属于本文件的一部分，并在“CEN/CENELEC应对气候变化适应标准指南”中讨论。 工作

This Guide gives guidance about environmental improvement of testing processes described in testing standards. The intention of this Guide is to reduce the environmental impact of testing by providing guidance on how to address environmental issues in testing standards. This Guide is only applicable to the testing procedure. This Guide does not describe how sampling should be done. It should help to identify environmental impacts of sampling where it is necessary. The following is excluded from the scope: - the general operating conditions of laboratories unless specified as part of the test; - the life cycle of testing equipment; NOTE 1 Testing equipment is regarded as a product. For environmental issues of products see CEN Guide 4. - testing that is part of the production process; NOTE 2 Testing that is part of the production process (for example functional or quality testing) is already considered under CEN Guide 4. - the environmental impact of test reports (e.g. use of paper, on which the report is written). Environmental improvement of the product to be tested is not considered in this Guide but in CEN Guide 4. Climate change considerations are not part of this document and are dealt with in the "CEN/CENELEC Guide for addressing climate change adaptation in standards". Workers protection and Occupational health and safety conditions are out of scope of this Guide.
