本文件提供了使用环境管理体系（EMS）框架，以系统方式协助组织在其设计和开发中建立、记录、实施、维护和持续改进物质循环的指南。 这些指南旨在供那些按照ISO 14001实施环境管理体系的组织使用。当使用其他管理系统时，该指南还可以帮助在设计和开发中整合材料循环策略。该指南适用于任何组织，无论其规模或活动如何。 本文件通过关注以下方面，为实现组织材料效率目标的材料流通设计策略提供了指南: -产品中材料的类型和数量； -产品寿命延长； -产品、零件和材料的回收。 在设计和开发中，考虑了很多方面，例如安全性、能效、性能和成本。尽管这些问题很重要，但本文件并未提及。

This document gives guidelines for assisting organizations in establishing, documenting, implementing, maintaining and continually improving material circulation in their design and development in a systematic manner, using an environmental management system (EMS) framework. These guidelines are intended to be used by those organizations that implement an EMS in accordance with ISO 14001. The guidelines can also help in integrating material circulation strategies in design and development when using other management systems. The guidelines can be applied to any organization regardless of its size or activity. This document provides guidelines for design strategies on material circulation to achieve the material efficiency objectives of an organization, by focusing on the following aspects: — type and quantity of materials in products; — product lifetime extension; — recovery of products, parts and materials. In design and development, many aspects are considered, such as safety, energy efficiency, performance and cost. Although important, they are not addressed in this document.
