StandardizationPromote the optimization of the economy, taking into account the functional conditions, safety and environmental requirements throughout the product life cycle

Environmental standardizationEssential to implement the National Policy on Solid Waste

IEC / ABNT

International Electrotechnical CommissionIs the world´s leading organization that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies.

The Brazilian Association of Technical StandardsIs the organization of technical standardization in Brazil and the exclusive Brazilian representative for the international and regional entities:

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) COPANT (Pan American Technical Standards Commission) AMN (Mercosur Standardization Association)

IEC TC 111 /ABNT CE 111

IEC TC 111 – International environmental standardization for electrical and electronic products and systemsObjective: To prepare necessary guidelines, basic and horizontal standards, including technical reports, in the environmental area.

ABNT CE 03:111.01 – Brazilian environmental standardization for electrical and electronic products and systemsObjective: Providing the Brazilian standards for environmentally friendly electronics, acting as a mirror of the IEC TC 111.

Subjects:Ecodesign, material declaration, test methods, cleaner production, recycling, etc.

Around 60 companies contribute to CE 111, as well as researchers and development centers, universities and government institutions

ONGOING PROJECTS

Standards for the determination of levels of the RoHS substances into electrical and electronic equipment

Guidelines for the provision of information about the end-of-life, necessary to calculate the recyclability rate of electrical and electronic equipment

RESULTS FROM ABNT CE 111

BRAZILIAN STANDARDS EQUIVALENT TO IEC TC 111

Environmentally conscious design Management system for hazardous substances in products and

electrical and electronic components Guidance for evaluation of products with respect to substance - use

restrictions in electrical and electronic products Environmental information on electrical and electronic equipment Material declaration for products of and for the electrotechnical

industry

NATIONAL STANDARD UNDER PUBLICATION

Waste electrical and electronic equipment – Requirements for the activity of reverse manufacturing (for recyclers)

MOTIVATIONS FOR THE BRAZILIAN REQUIREMENTS TO RECYCLERS

The requirements for reverse logistics systems for electronic equipments are essential to implement the National Policy on Solid Waste

Encourage the development of competence in electronics recycling, objecting to reduce damage to the environment

Ensure that processes adopted are consistent with best practices in waste management, avoiding incorrect destination of materials

Ensure occupational health and safety of those involved in the processes of electronics recycling

BRAZILIAN REQUIREMENTS FOR REVERSE MANUFACTURING
