16、 AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM ULINTRODUCTION1 General1.1 The manufacture and use of electronics creates an environmental burden that these requirements areintended to improve. When these requirements were first created, defining the sustainability of mob
17、ilehotspots was not compiled into a single set of criteria. These requirements aspire to address these issuesfor mobile hotspots.1.2 The impacts of extraction through production and ultimate disposal are often left to a broad sweepingstatement of sustainability without a true definition of what that
18、 means. There are various alternativeconstructions, materials, manufacturing practices and even disposal options that can minimizeenvironmental burdens.1.3 These requirements provide a life cycle and human health based approach to setting the criteria tobe achieved. These requirements reflect the ma
19、jor areas of impact and provide a criteria structure that willallow manufactures to demonstrate that any product meeting these requirements has made significantgains towards becoming sustainable.2 Scope2.1 These requirements establish multiple attribute sustainability criteria for mobile hotspots, i
20、ncluding thepackaging and all components shipped in the box with the mobile hotspot. Separate requirements for thedevice providing hotspot services, external power supply, cables and other accessories shipped in the boxare included. Mobile hotspots are defined as a portable device which connects to
21、a cellular telephonenetwork and provides local WiFi services.2.2 These requirements apply to products that are or will be available for purchase at the time ofcertification.2.3 The criteria in these requirements were developed based on the life cycle stages of mobile hotspotsand similar electronics.
22、 Sustainability factors considered in these requirements are: materials, packaging,manufacturing and operations, energy efficiency of the external power supply, health and environment,and end of life management.AUGUST 27, 2013 UL 2853 5UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION

If a manufacturers choice of units deviates, that changeshall be documented an
24、d justified as to the reason and relevance for that change.4 Undated References4.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in these requirements shall be interpreted asreferring to the latest edition of that code or standard. The exception shall be in the case where thecriterion explic
25、itly states a certain version or date to be used.5 Glossary5.1 For the purpose of these requirements, the following definitions apply.5.2 ALTERNATIVE RESOURCES Resources other than raw or virgin material, including but notlimited to bio-based materials, rapidly renewable materials, recycled/reclaime
26、d content.5.3 BIO-BASED CARBON Carbon materials that are derived in whole or part from biomassresources. Biomass resources are organic materials that are available on a renewable or recurringbasis such as crop residues, wood residues, grasses, and aquatic plants.5.4 CHEMICAL ABSTRACT SERVICES (CAS)
