5. Scope of Ecma TC38 http://www.ecma-international.org/memento/TC38.HTM
Geographically
Globally applicable standards for a globally acting industry
Product-wise
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Consumer Electronic (CE) products
Issue-wise
Develop, promote and maintain Ecma Standards covering product-related environmental attributes.
Rue du Rhône CH-1204 Geneva - T: F:

6. Principles of Ecma TC38
Accessible Provide industry direct access to standardization projects. - Organizations only need to be Ecma member and can then delegate persons to TC38.
Fast Ensure fast standards development by slim structure (industry committee only / no national committees).
Supportive and Tailored Develop standards which help industry to respond to global market and legal requirements.
Harmonized Harmonize requirements globally by:
setting global industry standards
delivering standards for fast track to IEC and/or ISO international standardization
commenting on other standard developments using our liaisons with other standardization bodies
Transparent Share developments and standards at no cost. Latest news shared at international.org/memento/TC38.HTM and standards downloadable at international.org/publications/standards/Stnindex.htm

8. CONTENT ECD standard ECMA-341
The standard ECMA-341 “Environmental design considerations for ICT & CE products” was globally the first available eco-design standard for this product sector and became the base for the IEC standard. The 3rd edition is equivalent to IEC It identifies design practices for the following product attributes throughout its life cycle:
Energy efficiency
Material efficiency
Consumables and batteries
Chemical and noise emissions
Extension of product lifetime
End of life considerations
Substances and preparations needing special attention
Product packaging

Align with ECD standard IEC 62430
EU EuP/ErP Implementing Measures
REACH article requirements for declaring substances
Align with Energy consumption (ECMA-383)

10. Chemical emission standard ECMA-328
contents
This Standard specifies methods to determine chemical emission rates from ICT & CE equipment during intended operation in an Emission Test Chamber.
The methods comprise preparation, sampling (or monitoring) in a controlled Emission Test Chamber, storage and analysis, calculation and reporting of emission rates.
The Standard includes specific methods for equipment using consumables, such as printers, and equipment not using consumables, such as PC’s and Consumer Electronics.
The Standard includes test criteria of RAL UZ 122 (Blue Angel) for office devices with printing function

Objective
To provide one global test methodology for the measurement of energy
consumption of computing products (initially desktop and notebook
computers) that can be used for any national or international regulation or
voluntary agreements.
Scope of Standard
Test methodology for measurement of energy consumption in any or all power modes e.g. Off, standby, short idle, long idle and active.
Methodology for assessing annual energy consumption.
System of categorisation to enable like for like comparisons
Registration procedure for categories
A minimum requirement for results reporting
2nd edition approved at GA in December 2009.

13. Energy Efficiency standard ECMA-383
Ecma is cooperating with IEC TC108 WG environment for IEC version of the standard
This will be IEC 62623, Committee Draft expected early 2010, and IEC Standard in 2011.
In time for updated version of ENERGY STAR® for notebooks and Desktops
In time for the implementing measure of EU's ErP directive (Lot 3, PC's)

17. TED - The Eco Declaration ECMA-370
To facilitate answering of frequent questions on compliance with legal and market requirements in Green Public and Private Procurement, ICT and CE experts started development of ECMA TR/70 in 1995.
After harmonisation in 2002 with the IT Eco Declaration into ECMA-370, THE ECO DECLARATION - TED” provides standardised templates for:
Company Environmental Profile;
Product Environmental Attributes; and
a procedure for verification of claims.

future
Potential additional standardization projects for Ecma TC38 are:
Definition of “ecological profile of product” according to EU EuP article 14 (Consumer Information) – related to ECMA-370
Extend regional scope for legal and market requirements in ECMA-370
Harmonise environmental terms and definitions for use in ECMA-341, ECMA-383, ECMA-328
Declaration standard, suitable for communication to consumers most likely a subset of the current ECMA “TED Consumer”
