Annotation of standard text IEC/GUIDE 121-ed.1.0 :
IEC GUIDE 121:2023 specifies principles, requirements, and guidance for standard writers to identify whether an assessment method in their standard can be used to obtain an indication of the environmental performance of a product and to ensure that such assessment is credible. This Guide applies to standards covering environmental performance of new products and as appropriate to standards covering environmental performance of second life products (e.g., refurbished or remanufactured). This Guide is therefore intended to ensure that assessment methods developed by standard writers are credible. The credibility of an environmentally relevant performance assessment method is determined by taking into account all the related principles, namely representativeness, measurement repeatability, measurement reproducibility, measurement accuracy, cost of testing, as well as circumvention. Environmentally relevant performance assessment methods can be present in many IEC standards (e.g., standards covering performance aspects of products), and not only those focused on the environment. This Guide will be applicable to those as well. This Guide is not applicable to standards containing environmentally relevant performance assessment methods that are not assessed by test (e.g., assessment by inspection or simulation). Nor is it applicable to other aspects not linked to environment, such as EMC and EMF. LIEC GUIDE 121:2023 specifie des principes, des exigences et des recommandations pour aider les redacteurs de normes a determiner si une methode devaluation de leur norme peut etre utilisee afin dobtenir une indication de la performance environnementale dun produit et a assurer la credibilite de cette evaluation. Le present Guide sapplique aux normes qui traitent de la performance environnementale des produits neufs et, le cas echeant, aux normes qui traitent de la performance environnementale des produits de seconde vie (remis en etat ou refabriques, par exemple). Le present Guide vise donc a assurer la credibilite des methodes devaluation elaborees par les redacteurs de normes. La credibilite dune methode devaluation pertinente de la performance pour lenvironnement est determinee en tenant compte de tous les principes connexes, a savoir la representativite, la repetabilite des mesures, la reproductibilite des mesures, lexactitude des mesures, le cout des essais, lanticontournement, ainsi que le reexamen des normes. Les methodes devaluation pertinentes de la performance pour lenvironnement peuvent etre presentes dans de nombreuses normes de lIEC (par exemple, dans les normes qui traitent des aspects relatifs a la performance des produits), et pas seulement dans les normes axees sur lenvironnement. Le present Guide sapplique egalement a ces normes. Le present Guide ne sapplique ni aux normes qui contiennent des methodes devaluation pertinentes de la performance pour lenvironnement qui ne sont pas evaluees par des essais (par exemple, evaluation par examen ou simulation) ni aux autres aspects non lies a lenvironnement, comme la compatibilite electromagnetique (CEM) et les champs electromagnetiques (EMF, Electromagnetic Fields). Le present Guide ne comprend aucune recommandation pour determiner si tous les aspects pertinents pour lenvironnement sont couverts par une norme de lIEC. Le present Guide ne donne pas non plus de recommandations pour determiner si une methode devaluation de la performance a ete correctement identifiee comme pertinente pour lenvironnement.
