Mandate M/619 requests the revision of the EN IEC 63000 standard to support Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS Directive) on restricting hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The revision aims to ensure that the standard aligns with updated RoHS requirements, facilitating compliance and promoting safer use of electronic products within the European Union. This standard plays a critical role in specifying technical documentation for assessing electrical and electronic equipment in relation to restricted substances outlined under the directive. The mandate is issued to harmonize standardization efforts with current legal and environmental objectives under the RoHS regulatory framework.
Purpose
This mandate M/619 requests the revision of the standard EN IEC 63000 to support the RoHS Directive (Directive 2011/65/EU). The directive aims to restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment to protect human health and the environment.
Standardisation request
The revision of EN IEC 63000 is requested to ensure the standard remains aligned with the RoHS Directive’s legal requirements and technical developments. EN IEC 63000 provides technical documentation for the assessment of electrical and electronic products regarding restriction of hazardous substances. Updating this standard is essential to maintain clarity, consistency, and usability of compliance documentation.
Expected deliverables
- A revised version of the standard EN IEC 63000 reflecting any updates needed to support the implementation of the RoHS Directive.
- Technical specifications or guidance that facilitate the assessment and documentation procedures related to the restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
Context
Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS Directive) regulates hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment across the EU market. Standard EN IEC 63000 supports this directive by providing a methodology for technical documentation demonstrating compliance. Regular revision of this standard is necessary to incorporate new substances, exemptions, or technical approaches as the regulatory framework evolves. This mandate ensures that the standard remains a reliable tool for manufacturers, conformity assessment bodies, and policymakers involved in RoHS implementation.
This mandate covers the standardisation work related to the revision of EN IEC 63000, supporting Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS Directive).
