Audio/video, information and communication technology equipment - Environmentally conscious design

IEC 62075:2012 applies to all audio/video, information and communication technology equipment marketed as final products, hereafter referred to as products. Although this standard does not explicitly apply to individual components and subassemblies to be incorporated into final products, component manufacturers also should consider this standard, to enable manufacturers using such components to meet the requirements herein. Only the intended use of products as defined by the manufacturer is within the scope of this standard. This standard specifies requirements and recommendations for the design of environmentally sound products regarding: - life cycle thinking aspects, - material efficiency, - energy efficiency, - consumables and batteries, - chemical and noise emissions, - end of life, - hazardous substances/preparations, - and product packaging. This standard covers only criteria directly related to the environmental performance of the product. Criteria such as safety, ergonomics and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are outside the scope of this standard and covered by other standards. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2008. It is primarily an editorial revision that adds information related to the modifications noted in certain definitions and updating of regulation references. Keywords: Audio/Video, Environmental Aspects, Life Cycle

Audio/Video-, Informations- und Kommunikationstechnikgeräte – Umweltbewusstes Design

Equipements relatifs aux technologies de l'audio/vidéo, de l'information et de la communication - Conception éco-environnementale

La CEI 62075:2012 s'applique à tous les équipements des technologies de l'audio/vidéo, de l'information et de la communication commercialisés en tant que produits finis, ci-après désignés sous le nom de produits. Bien que la présente norme ne s'applique pas explicitement aux composants et sous-ensembles individuels à intégrer aux produits finis, il convient également que les fabricants de composants tiennent compte de la présente norme, afin de permettre aux fabricants utilisant des composants de ce type de satisfaire aux exigences de la présente norme. Seule l'utilisation prévue des produits telle que définie par le fabricant entre dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme. La présente norme spécifie des exigences et des recommandations pour la conception de produits écologiquement rationnels concernant: - les éléments de réflexion sur le cycle de vie, - l'efficacité des matériaux, - le rendement énergétique, - les consommables, - ainsi que les piles et batteries, - les émissions chimiques et acoustiques, - l'extension de la durée de vie des produits, - la fin de vie, - les substances/préparations dangereuses, - et l'emballage des produits. La présente norme ne traite que des critères directement liés à la performance environnementale du produit. Les critères tels que la sécurité, l'ergonomie et la compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM) n'entrent pas dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme et sont traités dans d'autres normes. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2008. Elle constitue essentiellement une révision éditoriale qui ajoute des informations à propos des modifications de certaines définitions et qui met à jour les références des réglementations. Mots clés: l'audio/vidéo, aspect environnemental, cycle de vie

Oprema za avdio/video, informacijsko in komunikacijsko tehnologijo - Okoljsko osveščeno snovanje (IEC 62075:2012)

Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za vso opremo za avdio/video, informacijsko in komunikacijsko tehnologijo, ki je tržena kot končni izdelek (v nadaljevanju: izdelki). Čeprav se ta standard izrecno ne uporablja za posamezne sestavne dele in sklope, ki se vgradijo v končne izdelke, morajo proizvajalci sestavnih delov upoštevati ta standard, da lahko proizvajalci, ki take sestavne dele uporabljajo, izpolnijo zahteve tega standarda. V področje uporabe tega standarda sodi samo predvidena uporaba izdelkov, ki jo določi proizvajalec. Ta standard določa zahteve in priporočila za okoljsko osveščeno snovanje izdelkov v zvezi z – vidiki izdelkov v njihovem življenjskem krogu, – učinkovitostjo materiala, – energijsko učinkovitostjo, – potrošnim materialom in baterijami, – emisijami kemikalij in hrupa, – podaljšanjem življenjske dobe izdelka, – pretečeno uporabnostjo, – nevarnimi snovmi/preparatom in – embalažo izdelka. Ta standard zajema le merila, ki so neposredno povezana z okoljskim učinkom izdelka. Merila, kot so varnost, ergonomija in elektromagnetna združljivost (EMC), ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega standarda in jih obravnavajo drugi standardi.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some
