Foreword
This Standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Standard replaces GB/T 20877-2007 Environmental aspects - Inclusion in
electrotechnical product standards.
Main technical modifications between this Standard and GB/T 20877-2007 are
as follows.
- modified the standard name to “Guide on inclusion of environmental
aspects in electronic and electrical product standards”;
- modified the terms as follows.
deleted "standard writers" and "wastes" (see 3.17 and 3.18 of Edition
2007);
modified “end life” to “end of life”, “life cycle concept” to “life cycle thinking”,
Chinese), “retrievability” to “recycling” (see 3.1, 3.10, 3.15, 3.16 of this
Edition, 3.1, 3.10, 3.15, 3.16 of Edition 2007);
made editorial modifications on other terms except “input” and “output”.
- The following modifications were made to the content.
• modified “4.2 Product standard and environment” in Clause “4 General
principles which product standard and environment need to consider”
to “4.2 Impact of the provisions of the product standards on the
environment” and merged into the content of “4.2.1 General principle”;
modified “4.2.2 Environmental impact” to “4.3 Environmental strategy”
(see Clause 4 of this Edition, Clause 4 of Edition 2007);
• deleted Clauses “5 Impact of the provisions of the product standards
on the environment, and the role of standard writers” and “7 Methods
used when considering environmental factors during the process of
product design and development” (see Clause 5 and Clause 7 of
Edition 2007);
• modified Clause “6 Input and output that should be considered in the
development of product standards” to “5 Input and output that should
be considered in the development of product standards” (see Clause 5
of this Edition, Clause 6 of Edition 2007).
This Standard uses redrafting method to modify and adopt IEC Guide 109.2012
Environmental aspects - Inclusion in Electrotechnical product standards.
This standard has structural changes compared to IEC Guide 109. 2012. It
deleted the clause of normative references because there were no specific
documents.
The editorial differences between this Standard and IEC Guide 109. 2012 as
well as reasons are as follows.
- in order to keep consistent with the present standard system, modified the
standard name to “Guide on inclusion of environmental aspects in
electronic and electrical product standards”;
- deleted “IEC Environmental Policy” in the introduction of IEC Guide
109.2012.
This Part was proposed by and shall be under the jurisdiction of National
Environmental Committee on Electrical and Electronic Products and Systems
of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 297).

(LCA) for life cycle thinking (LCT). IEC62430 provides information for all
interested parties on how to integrate ECD principles into the design and
development of products. Standards writers are not required to apply the LCA
principles, but are encouraged to use the ECD principles whenever possible.
Manufacturers can capture more detailed design scenarios and reasons for
supporting them until more data is available. This approach broadens
knowledge based on these options and options, in addition to generating
specific environmental standardization requirements, as well as helping to
recycle and discard products at end-of-life (EoL).
In this context, it is important to note that the standard compilers should
carefully consider the environmental aspects of the test method when
specifying test methods.
Standards writers need to compare environmental data for materials and
substances. In any case, they may be careful to process the information derived
from the LCA study when making the choices required by the standard.
Consultation may be required with specialized environmental factors research
institutes.
Guide on inclusion of environmental aspects in
electronic and electrical product standards
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the guide on consideration of factors of which products
shall have an impact on the environment when standard writes are stipulating
standards for electronic and electrical products. Its purposes are as follows.
a) to enhance awareness of the positive and negative environmental impact
of the provisions of the product standards;
b) to briefly describe the relationship between product standards and the
environment;
c) helping to identify the terms in product standards that may cause
improvement on environmental performance and avoid the terms that may
cause negative effects on environment;
d) emphasize that to stipulate on environmental factors during the
development of product standards is complex, which requires weighing
various factors;
e) while stipulating on environmental factors during the development of
product standards, life cycle thinking is recommended.
This Standard is applicable to writers of product technical standards and norms
and consistent with ISO Guide 64 as much as possible.
The stipulation of standardization document for environmental awareness
design specifically for electrical and electronic products or industries should be
based on IEC 62430.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1 EoL; end of life
life cycle stage after the product eventually exits the stage of use
[rewriting IEC 62075.2008, definition 3.4]
product standard. And these environmental factors and environmental impact
are from the product requirements.
The environmental aspects of the product should be weighed against a number
of other fac...
