2、004 15:43 . Brief history Increased interest of public and institutional customers in environmental information stimulated the definition of product-related environmental attributes. The Ecma General Assembly of December 1995 established Technical Committee 38 (TC38) to this end. TC38 membership inc
3、ludes experts from Information, and (tele) Communication Technology (ICT) and Consumer Electronics (CE) companies and organisations. This Technical Report catalogues product parameters related to the ENVIRONMENT. Product data declarations and specifications should contain these parameters. This edit
4、ion addresses comments from users and users organisations, as well as recent regulatory changes. Annex A lists, for a range of products, attributes that a declaration should contain, and a template declaration. Annex B shows a spreadsheet version of Annex A and is available here on the Ecma Internat
5、ional website. In fond memory, Ecma dedicates the 3rd edition of this TR to Mr. Tony Ellerton who sadly passed away during its development. With great passion for the subject and with a perfectly aligned skill set, Mr Ellerton was instrumental in drafting this and previous editions. This Ecma Techni
6、cal Report has been adopted by the General Assembly of June 2004.

SUPPLIERS use this standardised format to declare environmental att
11、ributes of products to customers. This TR identifies and describes environmental attributes and associated measurement methods related to information and communication technology and consumer electronic products according to known regulations, standards, guidelines and currently accepted practices.
12、The report is also applicable to products used as subassemblies, components, accessories and/or optional parts. The report addresses product-related attributes, not the manufacturing processes and logistic aspects. The environmental attributes include, but are not limited to data on: power consumpti
13、on; emissions; materials; product packaging; batteries; and end of life management. Although the attributes are listed without differentiation between product categories, it should be recognized that not all attributes necessarily apply to each product category. The documented sample declarations in

A set of examples is given
34、in Annex A, but this does not limit the scope of this Technical Report. 5.1 Product information/description The following, at the minimum, should be provided where applicable: type of product; brand name; model number; supplier; weight and dimensional characteristics (e.g. metric units). Where appli
35、ed, the appropriate environmental policies, management systems and/or environmental programmes should be declared. 5.2 Extension of product lifetime The design considerations of the basic unit, which allow the product features and product capability/profile to be enhanced, should be listed. The foll
36、owing should be declared: UPGRADEABILITY (as defined in clause 3.7); availability of spare parts for the product after end of production in years; availability of service for the product after end of production in years. The service warranty/policy offered by the supplier should be listed. If spare
37、part and service availability is restricted, restrictions should be listed. 5.3 Power consumption Power consumption in watts (rms) for ENERGY USING MODES (as defined in clause 3.3) appropriate to the product shall be documented in the declaration. Some example modes are: off mode, no load, inactive
38、modes and operational modes. If a product allows multiple levels of energy saving modes, these should be listed in the product declaration. Measurement should be performed using the procedure specified by the Energy Star programme for the appropriate product. IEC 62087:2002 should be used for TV set
39、s. When suppliers do not follow the above-mentioned protocols, they shall identify the applied test protocols in the designated section of the product declaration. 5.4 Electromagnetic emissions The declaration should include a statement of compliance with emission requirements, listing the applicabl
40、e legislation and standards referring to human exposure to electromagnetic fields for example: ICNIRP levels as documented in European council recommendation on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields 1999/519/EC; - 6 - prEN 50392 Generic standard to demonstrate co
41、mpliance of electronic and electrical apparatus with the basic restrictions related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz 300 GHz) NOTE The standard that details the related measuring methods is in preparation. Public perception and increased requests from customers related to electromag
42、netic field emissions which emanate from CRT type computer monitors led to the Swedish guideline MPR II - 1990:8 for Band I and II ranges in both electric and magnetic fields, as well as electrostatic fields. A declaration should be made, as appropriate, to electromagnetic near-field emissions which
43、 emanate from CRT type computer monitors are referring to human exposure to electromagnetic fields. Limits are defined, for example, in MPR II or TCO. 5.5 Noise emissions NOISE EMISSION (as defined in clause 3.5) information for relevant products shall be provided as declared A-weighted sound power
44、levels, LWAdand A-weighted emission sound pressure levels, LpAmfor the operational and idle modes, and the modes should be specified. LWAdis a statistical maximum value to account for product variation and lab-to-lab variations and is typically about 0,3 - 0,4 bels greater than the average A-weighte
45、d sound power level, LWA. ECMA-109 and ISO 9296 specify how to determine and verify LWAd. For the sound pressure level, whether the location is operator or bystander position shall be declared. The position of the unit whether table-top or floor standing, shall be declared. Sound power measurements
46、should be made according to standards ISO 3741, ISO 3744 or ISO 3745. If a specific standard for the product is available, this standard should be used for measurements, e.g. for IT and telecommunication equipment, ECMA-74 (ISO 7779). The results shall be declared according to ECMA-109 (ISO 9296:198
47、8). 5.6 Chemical emissions Chemical emissions rates (VOC and ozone) and dust emissions rates shall be reported in mass per time unit for all products based on the electrostatic process (e.g. printer, copier, fax).
