The concept of environmental protection is spreading over the world now, so the green product design and development is a very important task and further becomes the lasting goal for all industries in different nations. The changes of green design research and development are from single life cycle assessment to long lasting environmental protection in all aspects, and also from product life cycle management extended to whole environmental management. Therefore, product design and development based only on life cycle assessment cannot fully meet environmental protection requirements for industrial lasting operation. In fact, ISO 14000 series environment management would be very helpful to achieve the goal of global green product design. However, the rules of ISO 14000 series standard are so extensive that product designers and researchers cannot refer those rules and principles directly for green product design. Therefore, it is an urgent task to seek for the green product design principles fitting the standards of international environment management. The purpose of this study is to screen the principles of product design and development from the standards of ISO 14000 series environmental management and life cycle analysis in order to be the reference of green design for industrial designers. Further, the result of study try to meet the international requirements for environmental management standards and confirm the availability of green product design. This study adopts the methods of systematic analysis and research to proceed analysis, application, assessment and so on to integrate the standards of ISO 14000 series environmental management and various green analysis in order to seek for the principles and rules of industrial product green design. The concrete purpose of this study is as following: 1.To select the principles of industrial product green design by means of investigating the standards of ISO 14000 series environmental management and life cycle theory. 2.To combine the selected principles of product design with MET green life cycle analysis and then apply to the case of structural stand furniture for green product design and development. 3.To utilize green design checking list to proceed relative analysis and research to confirm the availability of green design case. 4.To accumulate practical cases for the new academic field and provide more concrete methods and principles for new product development in order to facilitate related green design research.
