10、LOGEN” FOR 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 questions co
11、ncerning 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)”). T
12、heir 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 collaborate
13、s 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
14、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
15、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 max
16、imum 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
17、 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 IE
18、C 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 ex
19、penses 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) At
20、tention 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. A PAS is a technical specification not fulfilling the requirements for a standard, but made avai
21、lable to the public. IEC PAS 63015, submitted by JEDEC/ECA has been processed by IEC technical committee 111: Environmental standardization for electrical and electronic products and systems. It is based on Joint JEDEC/ECA Standard No. 709B. The structure and editorial rules used in this PAS reflect
22、 the practice of the organization which submitted it. The text of this PAS is based on the following document: This PAS was approved for publication by the P-members of the committee concerned as indicated in the following document Draft PAS Report on voting 111/382/PAS 111/417/RVD Following publica
23、tion of this PAS, the technical committee or subcommittee concerned may transform it into an International Standard. This PAS shall remain valid for an initial maximum period of 3 years starting from the publication date. The validity may be extended for a single period up to a maximum of PD IEC/PAS
24、 63015:2016 4 IEC PAS 63015:2016 IEC 2016 3 years, at the end of which it shall be published as another type of normative document, or shall be withdrawn. IMPORTANT The colour inside logo on the cover page of this publication indicates that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for t
25、he correct understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a colour printer. PD IEC/PAS 63015:2016IEC PAS 63015:2016 IEC 2016 5 INTRODUCTION Halogenated polymeric materials and compounds are used in various engineering applications, including flame retardation. Severa
26、l decades of use have proven these materials and compounds to be reliable and cost-effective. The electronic industry seeks to reduce the overall environmental impact of our products by working to develop reliable and cost-effective alternatives to these materials and compounds. However, the timetab
27、le for broad-scale adoption of low-halogen materials is difficult to predict, because applications such as complex multilayer PCBs and large molded integrated circuits will require further investigation and qualification of new materials. The halogen group contains fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodin
28、e, and astatine; however, this document will use the term “low-halogen” to refer only to bromine and chlorine to be consistent with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and IPC definitions of “halogen-free” (see Clause 2). Refer to Annex C for further explanation for exclusion of asta
29、tine, iodine and fluorine. In this document, the term “low-halogen” is used to identify a material that contains low concentrations of bromine and chlorine from brominated and chlorinated flame retardants (BFRs, CFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

30、DEFINITION OF “LOW-HALOGEN” FOR ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS 1 Scope This document provides terms and definitions for “low-halogen” electronic products that have the potential to contain the halogens bromine (Br) and chlorine (Cl) from the use of BFRs, CFRs, and PVC, and recommends methods for marking and la
31、beling. This standard may be applied to all nonmetallic and nonceramic materials within electronic products including, but not limited to, materials in the following components commonly found in electronic products: 1) transistors, integrated circuits, modules consisting mainly of integrated circuit
32、s (e.g. multichip, hybrid), and memory modules; 2) resistors, capacitors, relays, inductors, and connectors; 3) printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) including components; 4) plastic in cables, sockets, switches and external wiring; 5) mechanical plastics (enclosures, fans, etc.); 6) films, tapes
33、, inks, and adhesives; 7) soldering flux residues (when present); 8) sound, shock, and vibration dampeners (foams, resins, etc.). This document establishes the maximum concentration level for the halogens bromine (Br) and chlorine (Cl) from the use of BFRs, CFRs, and PVC. While the halogen group con
34、tains fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine, this document will use the term “low-halogen” to refer only to bromine and chlorine. Refer to Annex C for further explanation for exclusion of astatine, iodine and fluorine. NOTE The definition of “low-halogen” is different from the term “halo
35、gen-free” as described in IEC 61249-2 sectional standard related to non-halogenated base material and as defined in the J-STD-609A marking and labeling standard; standards that pertain only to printed boards and are currently in use in the electronics and solid-state industries. BFRs, CFRs, and PVC
36、in materials that may be used during processing, in product delivery systems, or in packaging, but do not remain within the final product are not included in the scope of this document. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their
