DD IEC PAS 61906:2005 pdf download Procedure for the declaration of materials in products of the electrotechnical and electronics industry
Scope
This PAs describes the form and procedure relating to the declaration of materials in productsof companies operating in the electrotechnical and electronic industry (E&E industry) and itssupplier industry, including the operational materials contained in the products.
NOTE 1 The declaration provides product information which is the foundation for a database which can bereferred to in order to solve the following tasks, for example!
assurance oflegal compliance:
management of business risks
fulfilment of market requirements in relation to the products;

implementation of avoidance and replacement strategies, reduction in material proliferation:information for reprocessing and removal;
reuse, recovery and safe disposal of products or product partscarrying out of supplier audits.
These data wil be supplemented by the oblications under chemica substances laws to furnish material safety datasheets and by information on occupational health and safety. The declaration governed by this specification shouldbe taken into account in purchasing and delivery agreements.
NOTE 2 There might exist additional statutory requirements. Compliance with statutory regulations is the duty ofthe person placing the product on the market and is a prerequisite. This concerns, for example, materials inproducts for which restrictions have legally binding force in the legislative area applicable to the person placing theproduct on the market.
NOTE 3 This information on materials in products can be drawn upon, for example, when preparing life-cycleassessments in accordance with ISO 14040 ff. or environmental labels conforming to lSO 14020,ISO 14021,ISC14024 orISO14025.
NOTE 4 Criteria for selecting materials and individual constituents to be declared are not yet elaborated in thisspecification.
NOTE 5 The depth of declaration can be the subject of an agreement between the parties involved.
NOTE 6 Materlal declarations constitute one of the tools within environmental management according to ISO14062
NOTE 7 The material declaration is subject to account being taken of agreements on confidentiality andprotection of intellectual property along the process chain.
This PAS is intended for use by the technical committees in the drafting of standards as wellas by the product suppliers for the declaration of materials in products of the E&E industry inconformance with the basic principles laid down in IEC Guide 113.
