Ecma TC38ECMA-370: TED

Product Related Environmental Declaration

Information tool to facilitate green procurement

After 3 editions of ECMA TR/70, decided to:

• Harmonise with IT ECO declaration

• Publish as ECMA-370 Standard in June 2006

• Also known as TED

Rue du Rhône 114 - CH-1204 Geneva - T: +41 22 849 6000 - F: +41 22 849 6001 - www.ecma-international.org 9

Why did we harmonise?

• Combine the strengths of both successful declarations

• Meet future customer needs e.g. consistent communication to customers EU wide (worldwide, in different languages)

• Save costs: several companies do both or morereduce development/update efforts

EU basis for green procurement (e.g. EKU)

• Prepare for IEC standardisation (TC108) as consequence of eco design standardisation (ECMA-341/IEC 62075)

TED benefits

• Internationally agreed standard to communicate

• Corporate Environmental Profil (CEP)

• Product Environmental Attributes (PEA)

• Common & comparable attributes to compete with eco labels

ECMA-370 2nd Edition (Dec 2006)

Update Energy Consumption

• New: Typical Energy Consumption (TEC) – ES imaging

• Synch with IEC 62075 CDV – energy consumption – power cannot be consumed

Simplification

• Removed „special“ national legal requirements

• Minor changes due to feedback during implemention

Open Issues:

• How to improve review / change process

• Community like process with WIKI? On Ecma / IT Eco Declaration web?

• Encourage timely input by other stakeholders like customers, IEC, NGO, …

WW Eco Declaration (TypeII) Harmonisation

Target: one set of worldwide attribute & harmonised declarations

Status:TED = ECMA-370: international standard with focus on EU implementation (first)

EPEAT = IEEE 1680: national (US) PC/monitor eco label with US focus and implementation

GPN declarations: Japan only, TED accepted for EU by JP members, TED acceptance in JP to be improved (Mar 2007)

ECMA-370 Summary

• Meets professional public and private purchasers demand for standardized, comparable product environmental information

• Is being continuously improved in a transparent and qualitative process since 1996

• Is used by the majority of IT companies (IT eco)- reduces the need for eco labels- is suitable to answer demand in green public tenders - meets some of the basic principles according to the EU IPP or EuP Directives

So, ask for ECMA-370 (IT eco) declarations …

… let us know what you think and if anything is missing
