Trina Solar Gets Carbon Footprint Verification For Solar PV Modules From BSI

(RTTNews) - Trina Solar Ltd. (TSL) said it obtained Carbon Footprint Verification for its solar PV modules from the British Standards Institution or BSI, a leading international standards and certification body.

The Carbon Footprint Verification, based on standards PAS 2050 and ISO 14067, is used majorly as a means of quantifying the carbon footprint of a range of goods and services. The Verification involves evaluating the carbon footprint at various stages of a product's life cycle, such as the acquisition of raw materials, process activities phase and packaging. Also, the Verification enables organizations to conduct an internal assessment of Greenhouse Gas or GHG emissions across a product's life cycle and helps identify potential cost and energy saving opportunities.
