IEC 62474:2018

Material declaration for products of and for the electrotechnical industry

IEC 62474:2018 specifies the procedure, content, and form relating to material declarations for products of companies operating in and supplying the electrotechnical industry. Process chemicals and emissions during product use are not in the scope of this International Standard. It provides data to downstream manufacturers that:
- allows them to assess products against substance restriction compliance requirements;
- they can use in their environmentally conscious design process and across all product life cycle phases. A database associated with this document is available at http://std.iec.ch/iec62474. It contains the list of:
- Declarable substance groups and declarable substances;
- Reference Substances;
- Material classes;
- XML schema for data format and exchange and the accompanying developer table.
IEC 62474:2018 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
IEC 62474:2018 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) The material classes and exemption lists capabilities have been improved.
b) The introduction and scope have new diagrams and information to give a better overview of the standard and identify what information is mandatory, optional or conditionally mandatory.
c) Definitions have been added. Minimum requirements to be in conformance with the IEC 62474 standard are defined, including XML format as the officially accepted format. By defining an authority, list identity and list version, the standard format could be used for lists other than the IEC 62474 database.
d) Terms have been aligned for consistency throughout the document. For example, the “IEC 62474 database” was previously referred to as “IEC 62474 database”, “IEC 62474”, “IEC 62474 Database”, “IEC 62474 DB”.
e) The annexes have been removed as they are now contained within documents managed by the validation team 62474 (VT 62474). Annex A (Annex B in the previous edition) is provided for non-XML users as a reference only.

Déclaration de matières pour des produits de et pour l'industrie électrotechnique

La CEI 62474:2018 décrit la procédure, le contenu et la forme des déclarations de matières pour les produits des entreprises et des fournisseurs de l'industrie électrotechnique. Les produits chimiques et les émissions du processus pendant l'utilisation du produit n'entrent pas dans le domaine d'application de la présente Norme internationale. Elle fournit aux fabricants situés en aval des données qui:
- leur permettent d'évaluer des produits au vu des exigences de conformité et de restriction de substances;
- peuvent être utilisées dans le cadre de leur processus d'écoconception et dans toutes les phases du cycle de vie du produit. Une base de données associée au présent document est disponible à l'adresse http://std.iec.ch/iec62474. Elle contient la liste des:
- groupes de substances déclarables et les substances déclarables;
- substances de référence;
- classes de matières;
- schémas XML pour le format et l'échange de données et le tableau développeurs d'accompagnement.
IEC 62474:2018 annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2012. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
IEC 62474:2018 inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) Les possibilités des classes de matières et listes d’exemptions ont été améliorées.
b) L’introduction et le domaine d’application comportent de nouveaux schémas et de nouvelles informations permettant de donner un meilleur aperçu de la norme et d’identifier les informations obligatoires, facultatives ou obligatoires sous conditions.
c) Des définitions ont été ajoutées. Des exigences minimales devant être conformes à la norme IEC 62474 sont définies. Elles comprennent le format XML, considéré comme le format officiellement reconnu. En définissant une autorité, un identifiant et une version de liste, le format de la norme peut être utilisé pour des listes autres que celles de la base de données de l’IEC 62474.
d) Le document a été amélioré dans un souci d’homogénéisation des termes utilisés. Par exemple, la “base de données de l’IEC 62474” était référencée de différentes manières telles que “base de données de l’IEC 62474”, “IEC 62474”, “Base de données de l’IEC 62474”, “BD IEC 62474”.
e) Les annexes ont été supprimées car elles sont contenues dans des documents gérés par l’équipe de validation 62474 (VT 62474). L’Annexe A (Annexe B de l'édition précédente) est destinée aux utilisateurs non XML, comme référence seulement.

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
