Okoljska standardizacija električnih in elektronskih proizvodov in sistemov - Standardizacija okoljskih vidikov - Slovar izrazov (IEC 62542:2013)
Ta mednarodni standard zajema splošne izraze in definicije, ki so povezane z okoljsko standardizacijo v okviru IEC. Uporablja se kot terminološki glosar, ki se upošteva pri okoljskih vidikih ustreznega dela v IEC. Izrazi, ki zajemajo okoljske težave, ki so pomembne za elektrotehnične izdelke v vseh življenjskih ciklih izdelka, vključno z, a ne omejeno na, – splošne vidike zasnovne in dobavne verige, – uporabo in deklaracijo materialov, – analitiko okoljsko ustreznih snovi, – vidike varovanja podnebja, – porabo energije in energijsko učinkovitostjo, – okoljske informacije, – obdelavo po preteku uporabnosti. Ta horizontalni standard je namenjen predvsem tehničnim odborom za pripravo standardov v skladu z načeli vodila IEC Guide 108. Ena od pristojnosti tehničnih odborov je, da med pripravo publikacij uporabljajo horizontalne standarde, kadar je to primerno. Vsebina tega horizontalnega standarda se ne uporablja, razen če je izrecno navedena ali zajeta v ustreznih publikacijah.

ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDIZATION FOR ELECTRICAL
AND ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS –
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
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 areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62542 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 111:
Environmental standardization for electrical and electronic products and systems.
It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 108.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
The definitions noted in this International Standard are intended to be considered by all new
and existing IEC standards under maintenance that are meant to fulfil standardization needs,
associated directly or indirectly, with an environmental topic or which may reference
environmental aspects/impacts, even if the standard is not exclusively an environmental one.
In addition this standard aims to utilise and harmonize definitions in other related documents.
This standard will be updated periodically as relevant international standardization documents
evolve.
Wherever possible, the terms and definitions included herein have been taken from other IEC
or ISO deliverables, either verbatim or modified if appropriate so as to make them suitable for
use in a wide range of IEC deliverables on environmental matters. This standard also contains
definitions for terms that are likely to be required by IEC deliverables on environmental
matters, but are not yet described elsewhere.
