17、these requirements areintended to improve. When these requirements were first created, defining the sustainability of wearableelectronics had not been addressed. These requirements aspire to address sustainability for wearableelectronic products.1.2 The impacts of extraction through production and u
18、ltimate disposal are often left to a broad sweepingstatement of sustainability without a true definition of what that means. There are various alternativeconstructions, materials, manufacturing practices and even disposal options that can minimizeenvironmental burdens.1.3 These requirements provide
19、a life cycle and human health based approach to setting the criteria tobe achieved. These requirements reflect the major areas of impact and provide a criteria structure that willallow manufactures to demonstrate that any product meeting these requirements has made significantgains towards becoming
20、sustainable.2 Scope2.1 These requirements establish multiple attribute sustainability criteria for wearable electronicsproducts, including the packaging and all components shipped in the box with the product. Separaterequirements for the wearable electronics product, external power supply, cables an
21、d other accessoriesshipped in the box are included. Wearable electronics are any electronics product primarily intended to beworn by the user either as a part of clothing or in direct body contact. Example products include smartwatches, non-medical (consumer) heart or body function monitors, glasses
22、 with embedded electronicsand electronics embedded in clothing. Other electronics products having similar characteristics and usagepatterns can also be included in the scope of the standard.2.2 These requirements apply to products that are or will be available for purchase at the time ofcertificatio
23、n.2.3 The criteria in these requirements were developed based on the life cycle stages of wearable devicesand similar electronics. Sustainability factors considered in these requirements are: materials, packaging,manufacturing and operations, energy efficiency of the external power supply, health an
24、d environment,and end of life management. Credit for innovations in these, or other factors not listed, is also addressedin these requirements.OCTOBER 17, 2014 UL 2887 5UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL3 Units of Measurement3.1
25、For the purposes of these requirements, values shall be reported in accordance with the requirementsof the specific criteria and shall be in metric units. If a manufacturers choice of units deviates, that changeshall be documented and justified as to the reason and relevance for that change.4 Undate
26、d 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 explicitly states a certain version or date to be used.5 Glossary5.1 For
27、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/reclaimed content.5.3 BIO-BASED CARBON Carbon materials that are derived in
28、 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) NUMBER A unique numerical identifier assigned toevery chemical by t
29、he CAS division of the American Chemistry Council.5.5 CONFLICT ZONES Regions which are characterized by conditions of armed conflict and humanrights abuses, and receive funding from the revenue of militia-controlled mines.5.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS) Part of an organizations managements

38、ation and Assessment Criteria7.1 General7.1.1 The following sections describe how the categories and point levels are associated. For eachcriterion within each category, the total number of possible points is specified. Overall, a maximum of 99points are available, not including innovation points. N
39、o more than ten innovation points, as described inthese requirements, are permitted to be assigned to a candidate product.7.1.2 Beyond the prerequisites, no minimum number of points is required from within each categoryspecifically in order to demonstrate compliance with these requirements. The tota
40、l number of pointsrequired may be obtained by any combination of total points available.7.2 Levels of Achievement7.2.1 Two levels of achievement are available within these requirements: Certified and Platinum.
