IEEE 1680.3-2024 PDF

This standard defines environmental performance for televisions, television combination units, and component television units, relating to 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. This standard applies to products that are primarily marketed as televisions and does not cover computer displays as defined by IEEE Std 1680.1™.
This standard for televisions is part of the IEEE 1680™ family of standards that provides a clear and consistent set of performance criteria for the design of electronic products and provides an opportunity to secure market recognition for efforts to reduce the environmental impact of electronic products. 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. The environmental performance criteria of this standard are intended to define a measure of environmental leadership in the design and manufacture of televisions, the delivery of specified services associated with the product sale, and associated corporate performance characteristics. This standard is defined with the intention that the criteria are technically feasible to achieve, but that only products demonstrating the leading environmental performance currently available in the marketplace would meet them at the time of their adoption. As the environmental performance of products available in the marketplace improves, it is intended that the criteria will be updated and revised to set a higher performance standard for leadership products.
Revision Standard – Active. A clear and consistent set of environmental performance criteria for the design of televisions is established, providing an opportunity for manufacturers to secure market recognition for efforts to reduce the environmental impact of electronic products. This standard is also intended to provide a tool for government, institutional, corporate, and consumer purchasers to identify products that demonstrate environmental leadership. This standard is intended to be updated and revised on a periodic basis to continue to set a higher performance standard for leadership products.
