[1] IEC TC111
A technical committee that studies general environmental concerns relating to electrical and electronic devices, as well as determining the applicable scope of standards regulating such devices. In line with the European Union's Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Energy-using Products directives (EuP), the IEC TC111 prepares international standards dealing with eco-friendly design, the monitoring of hazardous chemical substances, and information disclosure. Japan's efforts are centered on the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), which has launched a committee within Japan to comply with the directives of TC111. JEITA is focused on deliberating, studying and promoting international standards.
[2] IEC 62321 (Standardized Methods for Testing Hazardous Chemical Substances)
An international standard regarding methods for testing hazardous chemical substances, published in December 2008. The standard outlines methods for measuring the density of hazardous materials in compliance with the European Union's Restriction on the use of certain Hazardous Substances directive and similar regulations of various countries. In order to simplify the process of revising the standard in the future, it is being divided into a family of standards, each reflecting a different measurement method.
[3] IEC 62430 (Environmentally Conscious Design for Electrical and Electronic Products)
An international standard regarding environmentally conscious design, published in February 2009. The standard regulates the improvement of the environmental performance of products throughout their entire lifecycle (from the utilization of raw materials until final disposal) in accordance with the European Union's Energy-using Products directive. A first draft of a standard by the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee is currently under consideration that will bring Japan in line with international standards.
