EQUIPMENT – ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS DESIGN

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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62075 has been prepared by IEC technical committee TC108:
Safety of electronic equipment within the field of audio/video, information technology and
communication technology.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2008. It is primarily an
editorial revision that adds information related to the modifications noted in certain definitions
and updating of regulation references.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting

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 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
Environmentally conscious design (ECD) according to IEC 62430 shall be based on the
concept of life cycle thinking (LCT), which requires consideration during the design and
development process of the significant environmental aspects of a product in all life cycle
stages.
Key elements of life cycle thinking are:
a) having an objective to minimize the overall adverse environmental impact of the product;
b) identifying, qualifying and where feasible, quantifying the significant environmental
aspects of the product;
c) considering the trade-offs between environmental aspects and life cycle stages.

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------

SIST EN 62075:2013
– 10 – 62075 © IEC:2012
The above shall be initiated as early as possible in the design and development process,
when most opportunities exist to make changes and improvements to the product affecting its
overall environmental performance throughout its life cycle.
This LCT text has been intentionally copied for alignment reasons to use the same
understanding as in IEC 62430.
As a first step in LCT, the intended function of the product should be determined. In
subsequent design and development stages the influence of any applied business model
should be recognized.
NOTE 1 The life cycle stages of any product under control of the organization usually include the processing of
materials, manufacturing, distribution, use, maintenance, and end of life management (including reuse, recycling,
recovery and final disposal).
NOTE 2 When a product is part of a system, the environmental performance of one product during one or more
life cycle stages can be altered by other products in that system.
NOTE 3 ECD requires collaboration and contributions of all stakeholders along the supply chain.
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 hazar
