Definitions related to material efficiency

Standardisation Request M/543 requires the following: "Definition of parameters and methods relevant for assessing durability, upgradability and ability to repair, re-use and re-manufacture of products". Hence, this Technical Report "Definitions related to material efficiency" will constitute a collection of common terms used in deliverables prepared in accordance with M/543. The purpose of such a collection is to provide a single definition of key terms used in different deliverables from the CEN-CENELEC TC10. The source of the terms and definitions can be documents developed in the various working groups of the CEN-CENELEC TC10 or any text referenced by such documents. In case of discrepancies between multiple definitions for the same term, this Technical report will recommend a preferred definition.

European foreword
This document (CLC/TR 45550:2020) has been prepared by CEN-CLC/JTC 10 “Energy-related products -
Material Efficiency Aspects for Ecodesign”, the secretariat of which is held by The Netherlands.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The dual logo CEN-CENELEC standardization deliverables, in the numerical range of 45550 – 45559, have
been developed under standardization request M/543 of the European Commission and are intended to
potentially apply to any product within the scope of the Directive 2009/125/EC concerning energy-related
products (ErP).
Topics covered in the above standardization request are linked to the following material efficiency aspects:
a) Extending product lifetime;
b) Ability to reuse components or recycle materials from products at end-of-life;
c) Use of reused components and/or recycled materials in products.
These standards are general in nature and describe or define fundamental principles, concepts, terminology or
technical characteristics. They can be cited together with other product publications, e.g. developed by product
technical committees.
This document is intended to be used by technical committees when producing horizontal, generic, and product-
specific, or product-group, publications.
NOTE CEN-CENELEC JTC 10 uses either CEN or CENELEC foreword templates, as appropriate. The template for
the current document is correct at the time of publication.
Introduction
When multiple groups work in parallel on different but closely related topics, it is important to have a common
vocabulary to avoid confusing the reader.
Given the extent of Standardization Request M/543 in terms of product coverage and number of deliverables,
a common vocabulary is a key asset for all involved parties. Therefore, Standardization Request M/543 requires
the following: “Definition of parameters and methods relevant for assessing durability, upgradability and ability
to repair, re-use and re-manufacture of products”.
This Technical Report “Definitions related to material efficiency” constitutes a collection of common terms used
in deliverables prepared in accordance with Standardization Request M/543. The purpose of such a collection
is to provide a single definition of key terms used in different standards developed under M/543.
The source of the terms and definitions is the standards developed under M/543 or any other document
referenced by such standards.
Whenever possible, the proposed definitions are consistent with the ones given in European and International
standards dealing with environmental aspects of products in scope of M/543.
1 Scope
This document provides a compendium of all terms which been agreed for use in CEN-CLC standards, in the
numerical range of 45552-45559.
Such terms are intended to be used in other standards about material efficiency, developed based on CEN-
CLC standards, in the numerical range of 45552-45559, or intended to complement that series. They also
constitute the basis for development of new definitions used in product-specific material efficiency standards.

4 Terms and definitions related to material efficiency
4.1 General
Terms and definitions in following subsections are sorted according to the various topics covered in CEN-CLC
standards, in the numerical range of 45552-45559.
Note 1: terms are listed under the CEN-CLC standard (from the numerical range of 45552-45559) where they were first
defined or referenced from other CEN-CLC standards (outside the numerical range of 45552-45559).
Note 2: terms having their source of definition in another CEN-CLC standard from the numerical range of 45552-45559 are
not repeated, unless the context requires minor adaptation of the definition.
4.2 Terms and definitions related to the general method for the assessment of the durability
of energy-related products (from EN 45552:2020)
4.2.1 Terms related to durability and reliability
4.2.1.1
durability

ability to function as required, under defined conditions of use, maintenance and repair, until a limiting state is
reached
Note 1 to entry: The degree to which maintenance and repair are within the scope of durability will vary by product or
product-group.
Note 2 to entry: The user of EN 45552:2020 has to define the criteria for the transition from limiting state to end-of-life
(EoL). For more information see Figure D.1 in EN 45552:2020 [13].
Note 3 to entry: Durability can be expressed in units appropriate to the part or product concerned, e.g. calendar time,
operating cycles, distance run, etc. The units should always be clearly stated.
4.2.1.2
reliability
probability that a product functions as required under given conditions, including maintenance, for a given
duration without limiting event
Note 1 to entry: The intended function(s) and given conditions are described in the information for use provided with the
product.
Note 2 to entry: Duration can be expressed in units appropriate to the part or product concerned, e.g. calendar time,
operating cycles, distance run, etc. The units should always be clearly stated.
4.2.1.3
limiting event
occurrence which results in a primary or secondary function no longer being delivered
Note 1 to entry: Examples of limiting events are failure, wear-out failure or deviation of any analogue signal.
4.2.1.4
limiting state
condition after one or more limiting event(s)
Note 1 to entry: A limiting state can be changed to a functional state by maintenance or repair of the ErP.
Note 2 to entry: A limiting state can change to EoL-status, if maintenance or repair is no longer viable due to socio-
economic or technical reasons.
4.2.1.5
wear-out failure
failure due to cumulative deterioration caused by the stresses imposed in normal use
Note 1 to entry: The probability of occurrence of a wear-out failure typically increases with the accumulated operating time,
number of operations, and/or stress applications.
Note 2 to entry: In some instances, it may be difficult to distinguish between wear-out and ageing phenomena.

4.2.2 Terms related to functions
4.2.2.1
primary function
function fulfilling the intended use
Note 1 to entry: There can be more than one primary function.
4.2.2.2
secondary function
function that enables, supplements or enhances the primary function(s)
[SOURCE: EN 62542:2017; 5.14]
4.2.2.3
tertiary function
function other than a primary or a secondary function
[SOURCE: EN 62542:2017; 5.16, modified examples deleted]
4.2.2.4
functional analysis
process that describes the functions of a product and their relationships, which are systematically characterised,
classified and evaluated
4.2.3 Terms related to the uses
4.2.3.1
normal use
use of a product, including its transport and storage, or a process, in accordance with the provided information
for use or, in the absence of such, in accordance with generally understood patterns of usage
Note 1 to entry: Normal use should not be confused with intended use. While both include the concept of use as intended
by the manufacturer, intended use focuses on the purpose while normal use incorporates not only the purpose, but transport
and storage as well.
[SOURCE: IEV 871-04-22]
4.2.3.2
intended use
use in accordance with information provided with a product or system, or, in absence of such information, by
generally understood patterns of usage
Note 1 to entry: Intended use should not be confused with normal use. While both include the concept of use as intended
by the manufacturer, intended use focuses on the purpose while normal use incorporates not only the purpose, but transport
and storage as well.

normal operating conditions
characteristic in operation which may affect performance of the prod
