IEC 62430:2009

IEC Guide 114:2005 describes concepts relating to the integration of environmental aspects into electrotechnical product design and development. It is intended for use by all those involved in the design and development of products, regardless of organization type, size, location and complexity, and for all types of electrical and electronic equipment, whether new or modified. It is written for those directly involved in the process of product development and for those responsible for the policy and decision-making process within the organization.

IEC 62430:2019 describes principles, specifies requirements and provides guidance for organizations intending to integrate environmental aspects into the design and development in order to minimize the adverse environmental impacts of their products. This document applies to processes on how ECD (environmentally conscious design) are integrated into the design and development. This document applies to any organization, regardless of its size, type or sector. This document does not provide requirements for assessing the conformity of individual products. IEC 62430:2019 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) Scope is extended from electrotechnical product and systems to all products including services. b) As a consequence of the scope expansion, non-electrotechnical products, services in particular, are taken into account to modify requirements. c) Clause 6 is added as a guidance. It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 108 . One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, 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.
