IEC 63372:2026 describes principles and methodologies, specifies requirements and provides guidance for quantification and communication of carbon footprint a product (CFP), emission reductions and avoided emissions from electric and electronic (EE) products and systems. This document is also applicable to product-related GHG projects.
The GHG quantification such as CFP is based on life cycle assessment (LCA) methods.
This document is a basic environment horizontal publication focusing on essential requirements and is primarily intended for use by committees in the preparation of publications within the area of environment in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 123. Wherever applicable, it is the responsibility of committees to make use of environment basic publications in the preparation of their environment group and product publications. Committees can apply this document directly to products when they do not develop a product publication in the area of environment.
This first edition of IEC 63372 cancels and replaces IEC TR 62725:2013 and IEC TR 62726:2014, which have been technically revised.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) updating and enhancing content related to carbon footprint of a product to align with new or updated reference standards;
b) including product and system in quantification of GHG emission reductions;
c) adding the content related to avoided emissions including use cases in Annex D.
This document focuses on reducing the environmental impacts of a digital service. It therefore does not address all aspects of digital service design. For example, it does not address other aspects such as performance, resilience, reliability, availability or development language choice (see other standards covering these topics, e.g. ISO/IEC 25010 and ISO/IEC 27001).
This document does not include matters linked to other corporate social responsibility (CSR) topics, e.g. social, cultural, diversity, inclusion or exclusion.
This document is applicable to all development methodologies (waterfall, agile, etc.).
This document addresses all forms of IWC of external submerged surfaces, which are hull and niche areas, all types and levels of biofouling, which means biofilms, microfouling and macrofouling, conducted both with or without capture. It does not address internal piping.
The document has been established to inform ports, regulatory agencies, ship biofouling IWC service providers, inspection service providers, IWC equipment manufacturers, coating manufacturers, shipowners, ship managers, ship operators and other relevant stakeholders.
This document mainly describes a selection of use cases of operational implementation of such performance-based approaches as observed in different organizations. It stresses the challenging context faced by concerned organizations in changing their economic and business models. This document depicts cultural, organizational and industrial changes induced by the move of business models toward a performance-based approach. It emphasizes to what extent the total economic value can increase and how this is converted into revenue streams for the concerned organizations.
This document does not apply to the implementation of any circular economy domain of actions (circular design, recycling; responsible purchase policy, etc.), but focuses on the systemic level of development of economic models based on the commercialization of various performance aspects.
