14、ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS 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 question
15、s 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)”
16、). 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 collabo
17、rates 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
18、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 t
19、hat 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
20、 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 bo
21、dies 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 t
22、o 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) an
23、d 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
24、) 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. The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a
25、technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for example “state of the art“. IEC/TR 62476, which is a technical report, has been prepared by subcommittee IEC te
26、chnical committee 111: Environmental standardization for electrical and electronic products and systems. The text of this technical report is based on the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 111/158/DTR 111/172/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical rep
27、ort can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. 4 TR 62476 IEC:2010(E) This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated
28、on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.

29、TRODUCTION The restriction of substances in electrical and electronic products is a growing focus of regulation and customer specifications. Producers, therefore, have a greater need to establish processes to meet the substance restrictions requirements in such electrical and electronic products. Du
30、e to the complexity of the electrical and electronic industry supply chain, a flexible framework is necessary for the many different types of electrical and electronic product parts and equipment producers. Criteria for the restriction of substances may differ from one piece of legislation to anothe
31、r and from one customers requirement to another. Generally, “presumption of conformity” is assumed. However, in the event of additional evidence being required, producers make relevant documentation available to interested parties. This documentation can be based on physical testing using analytical
32、 techniques. However, it is difficult to perform comprehensive analytical testing on complex products and therefore several different evaluation methods, such as information from the supply chain, may be needed. The aim of this technical report is to provide guidance on the application and limitatio
33、n of evaluation methods, and associated technical documentation, based on International Standards and industry practices. The application of appropriate evaluation methods is defined by a producer for a specific product. This technical report provides the basis for a restricted substance control fra
34、mework. 6 TR 62476 IEC:2010(E) GUIDANCE FOR EVALUATION OF PRODUCTS WITH RESPECT TO SUBSTANCE-USE RESTRICTIONS IN ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS 1 Scope IEC/TR, which is a technical report, provides a framework for the use of internationally accepted standards, tools and practices to evaluate ele
35、ctrical and electronic products with respect to restricted substances. This technical report can also be applied to declarable substances which are not restricted in electrical and electronic products. This technical report provides guidance on how technical documentation and relevant evaluation and
36、 control methods should be selected and applied for restricted or declarable substances of any producers product. It is not intended for setting a new management scheme or for certification purposes. Evaluation and control methods for substances in products can be integrated into an existing managem
37、ent system, where available. 2 Normative references There are no normative references. Informative references are noted in the bibliography. NOTE This clause is included so as to respect IEC clause numbering. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definiti
38、ons apply. 3.1 restricted substance substance which is limited in its use in a product, part or material by regulation or customer contractual requirements 3.2 declarable substance substance to be declared in a product by regulation or customer contractual requirements 3.3 producer organization that
39、 receives materials, parts and sub-assemblies from suppliers and provides products to customers NOTE 1 In this technical report the producer has the responsibility to evaluate the product with respect to restricted substance requirements. NOTE 2 This technical report is written from the perspective
40、of the producer within the supply chain. When the producer provides a product further down in the supply chain his role changes to supplier. 3.4 supplier organization up-stream to the producer that provides it with materials, parts and/or sub- assemblies TR 62476 IEC:2010(E) 7 3.5 customer organizat
41、ion or person that receives a product (ISO 9000:2005, 3.3.5, modified) 3.6 restricted substance controls RSC framework of procedures for the control by a producer of restricted substances in its products 3.7 technical documentation documents with product-related data and information that are used an
42、d retained to demonstrate compliance NOTE This information could relate to the structure and composition of the product, e.g. test reports or other data describing the materials or product parts used; or it could relate to management systems, e.g. relating to the control of processes used to make th
43、e component or product. 3.8 producer self-declaration first-party declaration confirming evaluation of product with respect to restricted substance requirements 3.9 product category group of technologically or functionally similar products where environmental aspects can reasonably be expected to be
44、 similar (IEC 62430:2009, 3.15) 4 Framework for evaluation of product It may be necessary for an organization to demonstrate compliance with regulations and market requirements through self-declaration or contractual agreements established along the supply chain. The evaluation of a product may rely
45、 on a series of appropriate methods, strategies or processes, for material, parts and/or sub-assemblies of any electrical or electronic product. Multiple methods are generally required, given that electrical and electronic products often contain many materials, parts and/or sub-assemblies with diffe
46、rent levels of complexity. Therefore, a multi-level approach for the control of restricted substances in products is beneficial. The framework covers all design, manufacturing and other operational functions (e.g. procurement) to evaluate the product for restricted substances. The producer shall def
47、ine and execute restricted substance controls (RSC) for the operations related to its product category under consideration and ensure the execution of adequate RSC by its suppliers. When evaluating a product, the producer shall have a level of technical documentation that demonstrates effective RSC.
48、 Specific substance restrictions in electrical and electronic products can be required by legislation or customer specifications. The producer should consider relevant sources for substance restrictions. The RSC should cover, at a minimum, the following elements: 8 TR 62476 IEC:2010(E) Restricted su
49、bstances and evaluation criteria. The product planning and design should indicate product category technologies, structures, product materials, parts and sub- assemblies sourcing and related design process rules. Identification of source(s) of information. Depending on the complexity of materials, parts or sub-assemblies in a particular product or product category, one or any combination of the three sources of information (not in any priority order) described below can be used:
