About This Item
TS EN 62542 is a horizontal glossary standard that collects generic terms and definitions used for environmental aspects in electrical and electronic products and systems. It addresses the need for a common technical language when environmental considerations are discussed across design, manufacturing, use, maintenance, and end-of-life stages.
Why a shared vocabulary matters
The standard covers generic terminology related to environmental standardization within the IEC and provides a vocabulary basis for considering environmental aspects in relevant electrotechnical work. In practice, environmental topics in this field can include resource use, product life-cycle effects, material selection, recoverability, and the exchange of environmental information. Clear definitions help align specifications, technical documents, and assessments so the same concept is not interpreted differently from one context to another.
What this standard does and does not do
This document is not a product test method or a compliance checklist; its main purpose is to harmonize the meaning of environmental terms. Its horizontal status means the terminology is intended to support many electrotechnical subject areas rather than one narrow product family. That makes it especially useful where environmental issues must be discussed consistently across an entire product life cycle.
