Session Id: IH10-037 Type: Downloadable
Description
Environmentally conscious design (ECD) is the inclusion of environmental life cycle thinking into a company's overall product and process design. ECD supports product stewardship, sustainability, extended producer responsibility, design for the environment, international regulations (RoHS, WEE, REACH) and corporate social responsibility. There are two international standards on ECD: IEC 62430 and ISO 14006 (still being written), which correlates ECD with international standards such as OHSAS 18001, ISO 14001, ISO 62430 and the ISO labeling and life cycle standards.
