9、ission (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 concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
10、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)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee
11、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 collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accorda
12、nce 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 relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all inter
13、ested 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 the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsi
14、ble 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 maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence b
15、etween 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 provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of
16、 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 IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
17、 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 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publicat
18、ion 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) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publicat
19、ion 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 technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has coll
20、ected data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for example “state of the art“. IEC TR 62824, which is a Technical Report, has been prepared by IEC technical committee 111: Environmental standardization for electrical and electronic products and sys
21、tems. The text of this Technical Report is based on the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 111/391/DTR 111/411/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this Technical Report can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table.

PD IEC/TR 62824:2016IEC TR 62824:2016 IEC 2016 5 INTRODUCTION The natural resources of our planet are being depleted by the rapid growth of indu
25、stry including the production and use of electrical and electronic products. Materials are consumed both directly and indirectly and lead to other environmental impacts, such as climate change. As a consequence, there are an increasing number of policies and regulations being considered or enacted a
26、t regional or national level to promote sustainable production while minimizing environmental impacts. To meet these challenges, this Technical Report provides information on how material efficiency considerations can be integrated into the environmentally conscious design (ECD). Material efficiency
27、 relates to the efficient use of materials over a products lifetime, including its fabrication, distribution, use and disposal. Within this document, the following material aspects are considered: material type, material quantity, material substitutability, use of renewable material, material recycl
28、ability, material recoverability, and durability of product. This document is intended to support ECD, but focuses on the efficient use of material within products. Its aim is to facilitate the use of materials in an optimal way and thereby promote the sustainability of natural resources. PD IEC/TR

30、 products. Environmentally conscious design (ECD) can then proceed in such a way that aspects, including material type, material quantity, material substitutability, renewable material, material recyclability, material recoverability, and durability of product are taken into account during the desig
31、n phase. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including

None. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 environmentally conscious design ECD systematic approach which takes into account environmental aspects in the design and development process with the aim to reduc
33、e adverse environmental impacts SOURCE: IEC 62430:2009, 3.6 3.2 material substance or mixture within a product or product part SOURCE: IEC 62474:2012, 3.4 3.3 material efficiency comparative indicator of material used for a product to provide a particular function Note 1 to entry: Material efficienc
34、y can be assessed by considering aspects such as: material type, material quantity, material substitutability, use of renewable material, material recyclability, material recoverability, and durability of product. Note 2 to entry: Material efficiency is a constituent of resource efficiency. Resource
35、 efficiency includes all aspects of material efficiency and, in addition, the use of energy, water, air, land, etc. 3.4 material recoverability property of a products design that determines the ease with which a particular material can be separated from other materials at the end of life stage PD IE
36、C/TR 62824:2016IEC TR 62824:2016 IEC 2016 7 Note 1 to entry: Separation includes mechanical, chemical or thermal processes. Note 2 to entry: This definition is specific to product design. 3.5 material recyclability ability of waste materials to be processed for the original purpose or for other purp
37、oses, excluding energy recovery SOURCE: IEC 62542:2013, 6.9, modified word “material” has been added to the term 3.6 material substitutability ability of a material to be substituted in a product with another material Note 1 to entry: Material substitutability does not only depend on the material, b
38、ut also on the product. Depending on how the material is used and which of its characteristics are exploited, the same material may be substitutable or not. 3.7 mixture preparation mixture or solution composed of two or more substances in which they do not react Note 1 to entry: An alloy is treated
39、as a mixture. Note 2 to entry: Definition is taken from the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS): 2015, Chapter 1.2, Definitions and Abbreviations.

43、al cover all environmental aspects of a products life cycle. Integration of material efficiency considerations to the ECD process can be achieved by implementing the following: PD IEC/TR 62824:2016 8 IEC TR 62824:2016 IEC 2016 at the phase “analysis of regulatory and stakeholders environmental requi
44、rements”, requirements relevant to material efficiency, if any, should be identified and analysed; at the phase “identification and evaluation of environmental aspects and corresponding impacts”, the relevant material aspects should be identified and, where possible, evaluated; at the phase “design
45、and development”, the considerations of material aspects such as material type, material quantity, material substitutability, use of renewable material, material recyclability, material recoverability, and durability of product, if relevant, should be applied. Changing a products design in relation
46、to material efficiency can impact other environmental aspects and therefore the ECD process needs to be reconsidered in its entirety. Figure 1 illustrates how material aspects could be integrated into the ECD process. The middle and right parts in Figure 1 provide an overview of the ECD process. The
47、 left part gives examples of various material aspects that are considered during an implementation of the ECD process. Figure 1 Illustration on integration of material aspects into the ECD process Material aspects contribution to the ECD process ECD Process Plan Material aspects that could be consid
48、ered by ECD process, for example: - Are there any regulatory or stakeholder requirements relating to material selection, durability, recyclability and recoverability? Activities related to material aspects, for example: - Select possible materials for different components or applications based on pl
49、an; - Consider alternative materials and select as appropriate; - etc. Activities related to material aspects, for example: Monitor material availability; changes in regulatory and stakeholder requirements; information regarding actual recyclability and recoverability, etc. IEC . . .
