FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any Product
declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

INTRODUCTION
Every product has an effect on the environment, which may occur at any or all stages of its
life cycle – raw-material acquisition, manufacture, distribution, use, and disposal. These
effects may range from low to significant; they may be short-term or long-term; and they may
occur at the local, regional or global level (or a combination thereof).
The interest of customers, users, developers and other stakeholders in environmental
aspects and effects of products is increasing.
Anticipating or identifying the environmental aspects of a product throughout its life cycle
may be complex. The environmental aspects of a product have to be balanced against
other factors, such as its intended use, performance, safety and health, cost, marketability,
quality and regulatory requirements. It is important to consider the product functionality within
the context of the system where it will be used.
The process of integrating environmental aspects into product design and development has
to be continuous and flexible, promoting creativity and maximizing innovation and
opportunities for environmental improvement. Environmental issues should be addressed in
the policies and strategies of the organization involved.
Early identification and planning enable organizations to make effective decisions about
environmental aspects that they control. This provides a better understanding of how their
decisions will affect environmental aspects controlled by others, for example, at the raw-
material and parts acquisition or end of life stages.
The purpose of this document is to help designers of products in the field of audio/video,
information technology and communication technology to appropriately manage related
environmental issues within the design process.
This sector specific document takes into account the publication of the first edition of
IEC Guide 114 (2005), the publication of the second edition of ECMA-341 ( 2004), recent
engineering best practices as well as current market and regulatory environmental product
requirements.

4 Life cycle thinking (LCT) aspects
Within the limits of the designer’s responsibility, the designer shall consider life cycle
thinking (LCT). LCT means integration of the environmental impact caused by a product
throughout all life cycle stages as early as possible in the product design and development
process when opportunities exist to make decisions to improve the environmental
performance of the product.
Basic considerations require that:
– a goal to minimize the overall adverse environmental impact be defined by the
manufacturer/organization;
– the significant environmental aspects of the product be identified and
– trade-offs associated with both environmental aspects and life cycle stages be
considered.

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

– 10 – 62075 © IEC:2008
Balanced compromises associated with both environmental aspects and the life cycle
stages shall be considered. Any decision should be balanced with technical features and
economic viability and shall not compromise health and safety.
NOTE The goal of integrating environmental aspects into product design and development is the reduction of
adverse environmental impacts of the product throughout its entire life cycle. The life cycle of any product
includes the extraction and processing of raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, use and end of life
management (including reuse, recycling and final disposal). Each of these life cycle stages consumes resources
and generates environmental impacts in air, water or soil.
It is not the designer’s sole responsibility to deal with attributes not directly dependent on the product design.
First, the designer should ensure that products comply with all relevant regulations governing product design.
Then, the designer should take into account the environmental impact of the product throughout its life to
identify the significant impacts that can be reduced by alternative design solutions.
General environmental aspects of life cycle stages such as extraction/processing of raw materials,
manufacturing and transportation should be considered within existing environmental and procurement policies and
guidelines of the organization. Designers should follow the design relevant aspects of those policies and
guidelines.
Any emphasis on a single stage of a product’s life cycle may alter another stage and therefore the overall
environmental impact. The designer’s responsibility is limited by the possibilities within the requested
functionalities and market requirements. Balanced compromises will occur in optimizing environmental impact
across the product life cycle.
5 Design requirements and recommendations
5.1 General considerations
The following requirements have been compiled for use when designing and developing
products as defined in the scope of this standard, as far as they can be practically influenced
by the designer.
The designer
– shall identify the latest environmental related legal and market requirements (from
customers, government, environmental groups, industrial associations, etc.);
– should do benchmarking addressing the comparison of energy efficiency, material
efficiency, and the use of hazardous substances and preparations;
– should gather and evaluate experience from the subsequent manufacturing, sales,
product usage, maintenance and disposal stages;
to continually improve the process of environmentally conscious product design.
The entire environmental performance of the product should be evaluated, while the
considerations should give priority to those factors that can be substantially influenced
through product design and are identified as major environmental impacts (for example,
very often energy consumption). The evaluation should take into consideration the functions
and normal usage of the product as well as the technical and economical feasibility.
As a minimum, the designer shall document decisions by some means, such as by
maintaining a design checklist covering environmental aspects (an example for such a
checklist is provided in Annex A).
This standard requires certain product environmental characteristics to be made available in
a form the manufacturer deems appropriate.
Further applicable information may be made available in an environmental product
declaration (for example, ECMA-370).
