IEEE 1680.3-2012 PDF Download

The IEEE 1680.3-2012 standard aims to establish a set of environmental performance criteria for the design of televisions. It provides manufacturers with the opportunity to be recognized in the market for their efforts to reduce the environmental impact of electronic products. Additionally, it serves as a tool for government, institutional, corporate, and consumer purchasers to identify environmentally friendly televisions.

The scope of this standard covers the 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. It specifically applies to products primarily marketed as televisions and does not include computer displays as defined in IEEE 1680.1.

The purpose of this standard is to provide a clear and consistent set of performance criteria for the design of electronic products, with a focus on televisions. It allows manufacturers to showcase their environmental efforts and earn recognition in the market. The standard is intended to be periodically updated and revised to set higher performance standards and continue promoting environmental leadership.
