What is PD IEC TS 63058 about?
PD IEC TS 63058 which is a technical specification, provides guidance to manufacturers of low voltage switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies in evaluating and improving the environmental impact of their products, and in enabling effective communication using common references for environmental information throughout the supply chain.
PD IEC TS 63058 access the environmental impact of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies is part of an ECD process. ECD requires the identification, measurement and reporting of particular impacts.
Note 1: PD IEC TS 63058 provides guidance on the process and general aspects to implement environmentally-conscious product design principles, essential for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies
Note 2: PD IEC TS 63058 provides the Product Specific Rules (PSR) for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Note 3: PD IEC TS 63058 covers standard environmental impact data derived from case studies and a means of using them
Note 4: PD IEC TS 63058 provides guidance on communicating information about the end-of-life treatment of the product.
Who is PD IEC TS 63058 for?
PD IEC TS 63058 on environmental aspects on switchgear and controlgear is use for:
- Manufactures of switchgear and control gears
- Service providers and installers for switchgear and controlgear
- Suppliers and dealers of switchgear and controlgear
- Retailers and distributors of switchgear and controlgear
Why should you use PD IEC TS 63058?
PD IEC TS 63058 focuses on environmental aspects on switchgear and controlgear for preserving the natural environment for the good of future generations. PD IEC TS 63058 gives measures for efficient use of energy and materials throughout the life cycle of every product and process to achieve the goal of conserving world's finite natural resources.
PD IEC TS 63058 helps in manufacturers of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies should ensure an environmentally conscious design (ECD) involving:
- Phasing-out or minimizing use of hazardous substances or materials
- Efficient use of energy and materials in the manufacture of products
- Ensuring the lowest practical energy consumption by the products while they are in use
- Recycling materials for future use and sorting hazardous components requiring a specific treatment.
PD IEC TS 63058 specifies some rules which enables you to assess the environmental impacts and providing appropriate data for low voltage switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies. These rules establish a common evaluation scheme of their environmental impacts in terms of characterized impact indicators (e.g., CO2-equivalents, ozone depletion) over their whole life cycle.
