ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS DESIGN –
PRINCIPLES, REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE
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 62430 has been prepared by IEC Technical Committee 111:
Environmental standardization for electrical and electronic products and systems, and
ISO Technical Committee 207: Environmental management.
It is published as a double logo standard.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
Scope is extended from electrotechnical product and systems to all products including
services.
As a consequence of the scope expansion, non-electrotechnical products, services in
particular, are taken into account to modify requirements.
Clause 6 is added as a guidance.

INTRODUCTION
The main purpose of this document is to set requirements and give guidance on how an
organization can integrate environmentally conscious design (ECD) into their design and
development. It is not a product standard and so does not describe requirements that apply to
individual products, or a series of products.
This document uses the term ECD but other terminology used worldwide with the same meaning
includes ecodesign, design for environment (DFE), green design and environmentally
sustainable design.
This document covers physical goods, services, and a combination of the two, all of which are
referred to as ‘products’.
ECD is not a separate activity; it is rather an integral part of an organization’s existing design
and development. While this is not a management system standard, its requirements regarding
ECD can be incorporated into an organization’s existing management system, such as created
to support conformance with ISO 14001 and ISO 9001.
NOTE ISO 14001 links management of an organization's processes with environmental impacts, but it does not
specify requirements for the management processes associated with design and development. Therefore, this ECD
standard can be an addition for organizations which have ISO 14001 in place, as ISO 14001 does not specify how to
incorporate ECD into products. ISO 14006 provides guidance on how to incorporate ECD into an environmental
management system, however, it does not specify how to apply ECD.
Every product has environmental impacts, and these can occur during all stages of its life cycle.
These impacts can range from slight to significant; they may be short-term or long-term; and
they may occur at the local, national, regional or global level (or a combination thereof).
In order to minimize these impacts, it is essential to implement ECD within design and
development. ECD is a systematic approach to achieve reduction of these adverse impacts of
a product throughout its entire life cycle.
Multiple benefits can be achieved for the organization, its customers, and other stakeholders
by applying ECD, such as an overall environmental improvement, a cost reduction, and better
marketability.
This document is intended for those, directly and indirectly, involved in the implementation of
ECD into the design and development.
This document does not preclude sectors from generating their own ECD specific standards or
guidance. However, where such documents are produced, the authors are encouraged to use
this document as a reference to ensure consistency across areas of various products and supply
chains.
