6. Back ground of TR 62725 Title: Quantification methodology of CO2e emission for electrical and electronic products and systems (EE products) Background Life cycle GHG emission of products (e.g. carbon footprint) has become a top priority issue in terms of ecodesign, administrative tool, green procurement, etc. Necessity ISO, WRI/WBCSD, and other initiatives already started standardization but are not harmonized and lacking consideration for EE product's specific complication, such as; - long supply chains, - huge number of components, - complex use-profile (scenario) Proposal In order to help EE industry respond to this issue in a reasonable and practical manner, IEC TC 111 to start work on EE sector's harmonized methodology to be integrated into the existing generic standards and initiatives.

7. Scope - 111/204/NP – TR 62725 • ■ TR 62725 describes principles and guidance to quantify greenhouse gas • emissions (CO2e） forEE products* based on the life-cyclethinking and • isapplicable to any type of EE products, which are new or modified. • ➢Intended to be used by those involved in design and development • of EE products, and their supply chains regardless of industry sectors, • regions, types, activities and sizes of organizations. • ➢Intended to guidance for implementing Carbon Footprint of Products • (CFP) and relevant product category rules of EE products. • ➢Intended facilitate product specific sectors to generate their own, • more specific, standards or guidelines if needed. *products any goods or service Note: This includes interconnected and/or interrelated goods or services

9. Potential Issues― long supply chain • Hurdles • Product system is not visible due to its complexity and large scale. • Due to above, difficulty of appropriate boundary setting and cutting off . • Difficulty for having cooperation from all the actors in the supply chain which makes impossible to collect primary data of every unit process. • Potential solutions (to be discussed) • Provide practical and implementable guidance for • boundary setting • data collection including effective use of secondary data

10. Potential Issues― many components • Hurdles • Electrical and electronic product is composed of a large number of parts and materials. • Overall uncertainly, which is a cumulative of each component becomes very large. • At the first WG4 meeting, MIT (US) professor presented a study on LCA on a laptop PC showing 30% statistical variation. • Potential solutions (to be discussed) • Provide practical and implementable guidance for • cut off rules for screening insignificant components • addressing uncertainty and accuracy

11. Potential Issues― use stage • Hurdles • Electrical and electronic products emit significant amount of CO2 in the "use stage" in contrast to other industry. • The use profile or scenario may largely vary and lead to a large difference in results. • Potential solutions (to be discussed) • Provide practical and implementable guidance for • setting an appropriate use profile for energy-using products • avoiding inappropriate comparison or misleading use of the results.

13. Background of TR 62726 Title: Work 2: Quantification methodology of CO2e emission reduction for electrical and electronic products and systems (EE products) from the project baseline Background EE industry will increase its own GHG emission in the future but more contribute to curb the emission in other sectors (power grid, transport, house/building, telework, etc) Necessity • EE sector needs to quantify and communicate its contribution to society through their products and systems in terms of their CO2e reduction amount compared to the baseline (without the products and services) , for proactive marketing, branding, of EE products having superb energy efficiency. • Current Int. Standards (e.g. ISO 14064-2) provides a framework but too generic to apply to EE products Proposal IEC TC 111 to start work on the EE sector's quantification methodology applicable to its products for evaluating the amount of reduction/suppression from the baseline.
