| Abstract |
By illustrating how environmental aspects can be included in
electrotechnical product standards, this Guide helps IEC TCs to fulfil the IEC Environmental Policy, which
states in part: "IEC recognizes the growing importance of preserving the environment and the role
electrotechnical standardization has to play to foster sustainable development. Therefore it
is the responsibility of IEC staff and technical committees, members and experts, to
contribute actively to the evolving standards framework for the benefit of the environment.
... With respect to product-related standards, IEC technical
committees must assess and continuously improve new and existing standards in view of
reducing adverse environmental impacts over the whole life cycle of products. ..."
The Guide aims at
encouraging standards which preserve the natural environment while allowing designers to
reach the best practical compromise among design constraints such as safety, cost, technology or function.
