Brian I have just looked at EN 62430 today, and I doubt that it will be listed for any Directives because it is about a methodology for environmentally conscious design and does not deal with specifics, so it is not a standard that a product could necessarily be said to comply with. In fact, it is more a standard that may be cited in assessment of management systems for their effectiveness in meeting environmental objectives in design of products. There would need to be separate detailed standards for product compliance, and that is largely unnecessary since the limits for these directives are in the legislation.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian O'Connell Sent: 09 September 2009 16:33 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Environmental design Thanks very much to Nick for the info. Will have to order from the good people at the ILI today. For the purpose of this discussion, the term 'battery charger' does not indicate consumer goods, but for professional fire and police use - where the Dec of Conformity points to standards harmonized in the LVD and RTTE. Does conformity to 62430 provide presumption of conformity to the EuP, RoHS, and/or REACH directives ? I could not find it on any harmonized list. Another thing that still confuses me is that the EuP point the U.S. EnergyStar regulations - which seem to include battery chargers as a separate device (that is, not as an EPS) that is scoped for efficiency requirements, but the all of the EuP directives and associated implementation do not indicate any exemption for chargers. Another source of confusion is that the 'Lot 7 Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies Final Report' indicates that the EuP shall include battery chargers. I would appreciate some links to official EU sites that indicate if battery chargers are within the scope of the EuP directive. thanks, Brian > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Nick > Williams > Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 12:42 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Environmental design > > Readers of this forum may be interested to know of the > publication of > the following standard by BSI: > > BS EN 62430:2009 "Environmentally conscious design for > electrical and > electronic products". > > I'm sure several of us would also be interested in any comments and > observations people may care to offer on the content.
