IEEE
P1680.3 Standard for Environmental Assessment of Televisions
This
Standard is currently in the IEEE balloting process. It is part of
the 1680 Family of Standards, and will provide a clear and consistent set
of performance criteria for the design of televisions, and will provide
an opportunity to secure market recognition for efforts to reduce the
environmental impact of these electronic products.
This
Standard will define environmental performance for televisions,
television combination units, and component television units, relating to
reduction or elimination of environmentally sensitive materials,
materials selection, design for end of life, lifecycle extension, energy conservation,
end of life management, corporate performance, and packaging.
This Television
Standard is intended to provide a tool for government, institutional,
corporate, and consumer purchasers. Product manufacturers may use this
tool to earn recognition in these markets, recognizing that certain
criteria may not be applicable to all types of purchasers.
This Standard will apply to
products that are primarily marketed as televisions, and will NOT cover
computer displays as defined by IEEE 1680.1.
For more information on
this 1680.3 Standard, please contact the
Working Group co-chairs.
