The ITU
11、Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardizat
12、ion Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information techno
13、logy which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

23、Edler, 2015. To promote a more sustainable society, the information and communication technology (ICT) industry has recognized the need to provide relevant mobile phone information, especially with regard to environmental performance aimed at enabling consumers to make more informed purchasing decis
24、ions. For several years, manufacturers and network operators have been reporting the sustainability credentials of mobile phones. However, inconsistencies among approaches cause confusion and have made comparisons difficult, and waste time and resources for both operators and manufacturers when coll
25、ecting and providing very similar data. This Supplement aims to help reduce detrimental effects, intends to deliver useful information to end users on the environmental performance of mobile phones and aligns with existing eco-rating programmes. This Supplement is written in a way so as to complimen
26、t the work represented in UL 110. This Supplement establishes a standalone, minimum set of requirements for mobile phones related to their environmental performance. It should be noted that other documents e.g., ITU-T L.1410 and UL 110, can be used to complement these environmental performance basel
27、ine requirements for mobile phones. It is acknowledged, however, that other aspects are important beyond environmental performance and beyond the environmental factors contained in this Supplement. It is expected that the standardized approach in this Supplement can also make information available t
28、o original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) regarding best practices in the industry. The following guiding principles have been utilized when preparing this Supplement: prioritization: focus on a primary group of attributes; alignment: complement or utilize other standards that are accepted by networ
29、k operators and manufacturers; simplicity: provision of easy-to-understand information to consumers; differentiation: set a baseline to identify mobile phones that do not meet a minimum set of requirements and reference criteria from UL 110 for demonstrating ambition levels above the baseline; trans
30、parency: provide stakeholders with information on the methodology; credibility: demonstrated collaboration of the mobile industry, with representatives from carriers or network operators and mobile phone manufacturers; consistency: Consider regional requirements. L series Supplement 32 (10/2016) 1 S
31、upplement 32 to ITU-T L-series Recommendations Supplement for eco-specifications and rating criteria for mobile phones eco-rating programmes 1 Scope This Supplement outlines an assessment framework and defines the baseline criteria to be considered by an eco-rating programme when assessing the envir
32、onmental performance of mobile phones. This framework establishes the basis for an eco-rating programme based on criteria that are relevant and transparent: relevance is important to ensure that the mobile phone is scored, against criteria having an environmental impact; transparency is the guarante
33、e that all included criteria (and only these criteria) have been taken into account fairly. In this context, the Supplement is intended to: identify attributes having an impact on the environmental footprint of a mobile phone; define the scoring method to quantify these impacts, reflecting the perfo
34、rmance of the mobile phone from an environmental point of view. This Supplement starts from the principles that an appropriate eco-rating programme should: apply to all mobile phones, irrespective of where the mobile phones are sold; address the market globally (e.g., national or regional aspects sh
35、ould not be taken into account by the eco-rating programme); work in concert with UL 110 to identify advanced mobile phones implementing innovative solutions or functionalities. This Supplement does not: mandate the consideration of any social or ethical aspects that might be associated with the des
36、ign, manufacturing or marketing of mobile phones; include any aspects related to eco-labels (definition of the labels, criteria to obtain these labels, etc.). Consideration was given to using life cycle assessments (LCAs) to compare products. The fact remains that the existence of several eco-rating
37、 programmes maintains some confusion within the user community. Initiatives exist to correct this situation, particularly under the leadership of operators seeking to align their own programmes (see Appendix III). However, this LCA approach is not included (see Appendices I and II). This Supplement
38、is intended to be used to facilitate global cooperation and is expected to be used in conjunction with other complementary international standards.
