Scope
IEC 63366 defines product category rules (PCR) for electrical and electronic products and systems (EEPS) to develop (Type III) environmental declarations for electrical and electronic products and systems (EEPS). It specifies the process and requirements on how to conduct life cycle assessment (LCA) in the context of environmental declarations. This NWIP targets to develop an regional annex as a common modification of the IEC standard to ensure applicability on the EU market, by further defining certain aspects of the rule set for the region EU, such as e.g. the grid mix and scenarios for the life cycle stages. Further, the regional assessment approach should take the EN 15804 and the EU Environmental footprint method into account.
Purpose
Purpose of this annex as a common modification is to properly enable its application in Europe, by further detailing parameters and requirements in a regional context. It should then further establish links to the EN 15804 and REGULATION (EU) 2024/3110), the REGULATION (EU) 2024/1781 considering Commission Recommendation (EU) 2021/2279 and therefore support a harmonized market in context to environmentally related information provision.
