IEEE P1680 Standard for Environmental Assessment of
Personal Computer Products
This
Standard defines environmental performance standards for personal
computer products, including desktop computers, notebook computers, and
computer monitors that are marketed to institutions, and includes key
concepts and implementation procedures relating to 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 is currently being revised to allow it to incorporate future
standards for additional products. To see the proposed changes, click
on the Approved
PAR
link. Work on environmental performance
standards for other electronic products will start in summer 2008. For
more information click on the New Standards link.

1680 Workgroup co-chairs.
