IEC TS 63428:2024
IEC TS 63428:2024 describes principles and provides guidance on how to embed material circularity aspects into the design and development of products.
This includes making efficient use of materials and closing material flows in design and production, extending the lifetime of products through increased durability and enabling parts and materials to be reused or recycled at end-of-life.
• Closing the material flows includes the use of recycled content and reused parts.
• Durability extensions include such measures as to improve reliability and maintenance, enable and facilitate repair, provide updates and upgrades, refurbish and reuse.
• Improvements in material recyclability, parts reuse, and remanufacturing are possible through measures such as design for disassembly, separability of materials, choice of materials, traceability of materials, and durability of parts.
This document builds on the jointly published (ISO and IEC) document, IEC 62430:2019 for requirements for environmentally conscious design (ECD) processes, and it supplements ECD by adding more specific guidance on the aspects of material circularity and material efficiency.
This document only deals with material circularity of products. Economic, social and energy aspects are excluded from the scope of this document.
This document is applicable to all electrotechnical products including goods and services.
