IEEE 1680-2009 PDF
The IEEE 1680 family of standards defines environmental performance criteria for electronic products. The scope of this document is to provide guidelines and implementation procedures for the standards included in the IEEE 1680 family of standards. Each standard in the IEEE 1680 family of standards shall address criteria for a specific product or group of products in at least the following eight categories of environmental performance: reduction or elimination of environmentally sensitive materials, materials selection, design for end of life, life cycle extension, energy conservation, end-of-life management, corporate performance, and packaging.
This standard provides guidelines and implementation procedures for this IEEE 1680 family of standards. The standards within the family will provide clear and consistent performance criteria for the design of electronic products, thereby providing an opportunity to secure market recognition for efforts to reduce the environmental impact of electronic products. This family of standards is intended to provide a tool for government, institutional, and corporate purchasers. Product manufacturers may also use this tool to earn recognition in the consumer market, recognizing that certain criteria may not be applicable to all types of purchasers. Applicability will be specified in each individual standard.
Revision Standard – Inactive-Reserved. Guidance and implementation procedures for the IEEE 1680 family of standards is provided, and the methods by which manufacturers may declare electronic products as conforming with the standards in the IEEE 1680 family of standards and by which such conformance may be verified are defined. The standards within the family will provide clear and consistent performance criteria for the design of electronic products, thereby providing an opportunity to secure market recognition for efforts to reduce the environmental impact of electronic products. This family of standards is intended to provide a tool for government, institutional, and corporate purchasers. Product manufacturers may also use this tool to earn recognition in the consumer market, recognizing that certain criteria may not be applicable to all types of purchasers.
