14、COMMISSION _ GUIDANCE ON THE ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS DESIGN OF FIBRE OPTICS RELATED PRODUCTS AND SUBSYSTEMS FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees).
15、 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 Spe
16、cifications (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 organizati
17、ons 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 matter
18、s 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
19、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 N
20、ational 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 d
21、oes 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
22、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 wha
23、tsoever, 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 publi
24、cations 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. The main task of
25、IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a 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 6278
26、5, which is a technical report, has been prepared by IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics. The text of this technical report is based on the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 86/433/DTR 86/441/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical report can be f
27、ound in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This technical report should be read in conjunction with IEC 62430:2009. 4 TR 62785 IEC:2013(E) This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee has decided that the contents of this publicat
28、ion will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated 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 publica
29、tion may be issued at a later date. TR 62785 IEC:2013(E) 5 INTRODUCTION Fibre optics related products and subsystems are high performance systems. Their characteristics can have a negative impact on our environment in one way or another through their entire life cycle (design, manufacturing, use, re
30、cycling, and disposal). Among several international standards and guidelines relevant to environmental consciousness, IEC 62430:2009 is the most recently published normative standard of a horizontal nature. Although optical fibres, optical cables, fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive comp
31、onents can be understood as non-electrical or non-electronic, they are within the scope of IEC TC86 (Fibre optics). Thus, designing fibre optic products and subsystems would need to conform to IEC 62430. This Technical Report therefore provides informative guidance to assist the designer with regard
32、 to the general aspects of environmentally conscious design covered by IEC 62430. After quickly grasping the substance of the IEC 62430 requirements through this technical report, it will be necessary to refer directly to the main text of IEC 62430 for details. 6 TR 62785 IEC:2013(E) GUIDANCE ON THE
33、 ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS DESIGN OF FIBRE OPTICS RELATED PRODUCTS AND SUBSYSTEMS 1 Scope and objective This Technical Report, reiterates all the key normative “shall” texts included in IEC 62430 that specify requirements and procedures to integrate environmental aspects into the design and developm
34、ent processes of electrical and electronic products, including combinations of products, and the materials and components of which they are composed. This report also conveys information on the experiences and best practices of environmental consciousness of fibre optics related products and subsyst
35、ems. The objectives of this report are to help fibre optic industries reduce negative environmental impacts of the equipment and subsystems throughout the lifecycle (design, manufacturing, use, recycling, and disposal), raise awareness of IEC 62430 and other standards among fibre optic industries, p
36、articularly its mandatory requirements, share industry information to cooperatively increase the level of environmental consciousness of fibre optic industries. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for
37、its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

39、ure for recycling rare metals in information and communication technology goods 3 Overview of relevant international standards 3.1 General There are several documents (published or to be published) as listed below that are relevant to environmental consciousness of fibre optic industries in one way
40、or another. Among them, this technical report cites IEC 62430 (see 3.2) as the most relevant normative standard to which the fibre optic industry could conform. The other documents listed in this clause may be referred to as needed. TR 62785 IEC:2013(E) 7 3.2 IEC 62430:2009: Environmentally consciou
41、s design for electrical and electronic products This International Standard specifies requirements and procedures to integrate environmental aspects into design and development processes of electrical and electronic products, including combinations of products, and the materials and components of wh
42、ich they are composed. Moreover, the NOTE of the scope reads that the existence of this standard does not preclude particular sectors from generating their own, more specific, standards or guidelines. Where such documents are produced, it is recommended that they use this standard as the reference i
43、n order to ensure consistency throughout the electrotechnical sector. 3.3 IEC 62075:2012: Audio/video, information and communication technology equipment Environmentally conscious design 3.4 ISO/TR 14062:2002: Environmental management Integrating environmental aspects into product design and develop
44、ment Although ISO does not cover electrotechnical products, improvements to ISO/TR 14062:2002 with the intention of publishing it as an International Standard (IS) will be initiated at the ISO TC 207 meeting in 2012. Best efforts will be made to harmonize with IEC activities to revise IEC 62430. 3.5
45、 ISO 14006:2011: Environmental management systems Guidelines for incorporating ecodesign This document provides guidelines to assist organizations in establishing, documenting, implementing, maintaining and continually improving their management of ecodesign as part of an environmental management sy
46、stem (EMS). IEC 62430 is partially embedded in Clause 6. 3.6 ITU-T L.1100: Procedure for recycling rare metals in information and communication technology goods This ITU-T recommendation explains the necessity and importance of rare metal recycling while providing a recycling procedure for rare meta
47、ls and communication format for providing recycling information of rare metals in ICT (information and communication technologies) products. 3.7 IEC/TR 62839-1, Environmental declaration: Part 1: Wires and cables and accessories products specific rules The New Work Item Proposal (46/419/NP) for this
48、 informative document was approved on 21 September 2012 (46/436/RVN). 4 Requirements of IEC 62430:2009 This clause cites key texts in IEC 62430 that include ”shall,” indicating a requirement which must be strictly followed and from which no deviation is permitted if conformance to IEC 62430:2009 is
49、to be claimed. 8 TR 62785 IEC:2013(E) Table 1 IEC 62430:2009 requirements (1 of 2) Clause/Subclause Requirements 4 Fundamentals of environmentally conscious design (ECD) 4.1 General 4.2 Life cycle thinking Environmentally conscious design 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.
