本文件确定并确立了建筑、土木工程和其他类型建筑工程（以下统称建筑工程）对可持续发展贡献的一般原则。它基于可持续发展的概念，适用于建筑工程的生命周期，从开始到结束。 本文件适用于新的和现有的建筑工程，无论是单独的还是集体的，以及与其生命周期相关的材料、产品、服务和工艺。本文件未提供可作为可持续性声明基础的绩效水平（基准）。 注1:本文件中确立的原则旨在广泛应用于建筑工程中。具体应用以其他相关文件为主题。 注2:建筑工程的设计应满足许多要求，如有管辖权的当局所表达和确定的要求。在某些情况下，可能有必要超越既定要求，进一步促进可持续发展。 注3:在本文件中，除非明确说明，“产品”一词指的是建筑产品（3.7），而“服务”一词指的是建筑服务（3.8）。 本文件无意为组织或其他利益相关者的评估提供依据，但确认了其在建筑物、土木工程和其他建筑工程对可持续发展的贡献方面的重要性。 注4:有关组织的社会责任方面的更详细讨论，请参见ISO 26000。

This document identifies and establishes general principles for the contribution of buildings, civil engineering works and other types of construction works (hereinafter referred to collectively as construction works) to sustainable development. It is based on the concept of sustainable development as it applies to the life cycle of construction works, from inception to the end-of-life. This document is applicable to new and existing construction works, individually and collectively, as well as to the materials, products, services and processes related to their life cycle. This document does not provide performance levels (benchmarks) that can serve as the basis for sustainability claims. NOTE 1 The principles established in this document are intended to be applied broadly in the context of construction works. Specific applications are the subject of other related documents. NOTE 2 Construction works are designed to meet numerous requirements, such as those expressed and established by authorities having jurisdiction. In some circumstances, it can be necessary to go beyond established requirements to contribute further to sustainable development. NOTE 3 In this document, unless explicitly stated, the term 'product(s)' implies construction product (3.7) and the term 'service(s)' implies construction service (3.8). This document is not intended to provide the basis for assessment of organizations or other stakeholders, but does acknowledge the importance of their role in the context of contributions to sustainable development by buildings, civil engineering works and other construction works. NOTE 4 More detailed discussions on social responsibility aspects, relative to organizations, can be found in ISO 26000.
