Good to know
Current version: Draft 0.2, pilot edition. The standard is complete and usable today. Its scoring thresholds are being calibrated with pilot organisations, so results against this version are pilot result reports, not certificates.
Free to use. Download it, apply it in your organisation and share unmodified copies at no cost. The formal licence is being finalised.
What it is not. PRAXTERRA is a voluntary standard. It does not replace legislation, permits or specialist advice, and it is not equivalent to ISO 14001, EMAS or other schemes. It can help you build the foundations for them.
