    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    IEC 62474:2012 specifies the procedure, content, and form relating to material declarations for products of companies operating in and supplying the electrotechnical industry. Process chemicals and emissions during product use are not in the scope of this International Standard. It provides data to downstream manufacturers that:
    - allows them to assess products against substance restriction compliance requirements;
    - they can use in their environmentally conscious design process and across all product life cycle phases. A database associated with this document is available at http://std.iec.ch/iec62474. It contains the list of:
    - Declarable substance groups and declarable substances;
    - Reference Substances;
    - Material classes;
    - XML schema for data format and exchange and the accompanying developer table.
