22、ctly, with an environmental topic or which may reference environmental aspects/impacts, even if the standard is not exclusively an environmental one. In addition this standard aims to utilise and harmonize definitions in other related documents. This standard will be updated periodically as relevant
23、 international standardization documents evolve. Wherever possible, the terms and definitions included herein have been taken from other IEC or ISO deliverables, either verbatim or modified if appropriate so as to make them suitable for use in a wide range of IEC deliverables on environmental matter
24、s. This standard also contains definitions for terms that are likely to be required by IEC deliverables on environmental matters, but are not yet described elsewhere. BS EN 62542:2013 6 62542 IEC:2013 ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDIZATION FOR ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS GLOSSARY OF TERMS
25、1 Scope This International Standard specifies generic terms and definitions that are related to environmental standardization within the IEC. It serves as a glossary of terminology to be considered for environmental aspects of relevant work in IEC. The terms cover environmental issues that are relev
26、ant for electrotechnical products across all product life cycle stages, including but not limited to design and supply chain aspects in general, use and declaration of materials, analytics of environmentally relevant substances, aspects relating to climate protection, power consumption and energy ef
27、ficiency, environmental information, end of life treatment. This horizontal standard is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108. One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever a
28、pplicable, to make use of horizontal standards in the preparation of its publications. The contents of this horizontal standard will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normativel
