IEC 62933-5-2:2025 primarily describes safety aspects for people and, where appropriate, safety matters related to the surroundings and living beings for grid-connected energy storage systems where an electrochemical storage subsystem is used. This document is applicable to the entire life cycle of BESS (from design to end of service life management). This document provides further safety provisions that arise due to the use of an electrochemical storage subsystem (e.g. battery system) in EES systems that are beyond the general safety considerations described in IEC 62933-5-1. This document specifies the safety requirements of an "electrochemical" energy storage system as a "system" to reduce the risk of harm or damage caused by the hazards of an electrochemical energy storage system due to interactions between the subsystems as presently understood.

This document provides definitions, guidelines and supportive information for the key performance parameters and their characterization methods of absorption liquids used in post-combustion CO2 capture. It covers common methodologies to measure and calculate specific key performance parameters of the absorption liquids. The absorption liquids for post-combustion CO2 capture covered by this document are chemically reactive liquids, such as amine solutions, potassium carbonate solutions, aqueous ammonia, amino-acid salt solutions and mixtures of these reactants. Other absorption liquids based on different principles for CO2 capture are not covered. The key performance parameters considered in this document relate to the design and operation of absorption liquid-based post-combustion CO2 capture processes, as well as equipment such as absorber and desorber columns, reboilers and other heat exchangers. The key performance parameters are: — primary parameters, such as rich and lean CO2 loading, absorbent concentration, absorption capacity, heat of absorption, absorption rate and absorbent volatility; — secondary parameters, such as cyclic loading, that are directly derived from the primary parameters, or combined with other physical measurements, as in the case for the absorbent loss rate. In addition, physical and chemical properties such as density, viscosity, pH, thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity are described. These properties are essential for understanding the key performance parameters of the absorption liquids. This document also: — establishes key performance parameters (see REF Section_sec_4 \r \h Clause 4 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B02000000080000000E000000530065006300740069006F006E005F007300650063005F0034000000 ), physical and chemical properties of absorption liquids, and their calculation methods, and provides a common way of reporting them; — specifies the general requirements for the absorption liquid characterization in laboratory measurement and field testing (see REF Section_sec_5 \r \h Clause 5); — provides the requirements for the instrumentation to be installed or used, and guidelines for the characterization methods (see REF Section_sec_6 \r \h Clause 6 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B02000000080000000E000000530065006300740069006F006E005F007300650063005F0036000000 ); — provides information on the characterization methods of absorption liquids, describing all stages of test preparation, set-up and execution (see Annexes A to I), as well as guidance on sampling absorption liquids. NOTE While key performance parameters of absorption liquids are important process indicators for post-combustion CO2 capture, factors such as process design, equipment design and manufacturing, economics and safety are also considered for a comprehensive evaluation of post-combustion CO2 capture technology. The document does not provide guidelines for benchmarking or comparing absorption liquids for post-combustion capture processes, nor does it offer methods to assess different technologies or projects, or specify methodologies for process engineering design. Additionally, the document is not intended to compel technology owners to disclose any intellectual properties related to their proprietary absorption liquids. The document does not cover all available and emerging characterization methods for the key performance parameters considered in this document.

It specifies the process and requirements on how to conduct life cycle assessment (LCA) in the context of environmental declarations.
This document provides common rules for:
a) LCA, including the requirements for developing default scenarios;
b) the LCA report;
c) the development of PSR.
This document provides further guidelines for environmental declarations.
The LCA principles and framework are based on ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, and are therefore out of scope of this document.
PCR is complemented by additional product-specific rules (PSR), which further define, for example, functional units and default scenarios in the product-specific context. Therefore, this document also provides guidance on how to develop PSR in corresponding technical committees.
This document has the status of a horizontal publication in accordance with IEC Guide 108. In accordance with IEC Guide 108, this generic essential horizontal standard is intended for use by product committees as a starting point in preparing PSR standards. Specific requirements developed by product committees in PSR standard take precedence over requirements in this standard.

IEC 63366:2025 defines product category rules (PCR) for electrical and electronic products and systems (EEPS) to develop Type III environmental declarations for electrical and electronic products and systems (EEPS). It specifies the process and requirements on how to conduct life cycle assessment (LCA) in the context of environmental declarations. This document provides common rules for: a) LCA, including the requirements for developing default scenarios; b) the LCA report; c) the development of PSR. This document provides further guidelines for environmental declarations. The LCA principles and framework are based on ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, and are therefore out of scope of this document. PCR is complemented by additional product-specific rules (PSR), which further define, for example, functional units and default scenarios in the product-specific context. Therefore, this document also provides guidance on how to develop PSR in corresponding technical committees. This document has the status of a horizontal publication in accordance with IEC Guide 108. In accordance with IEC Guide 108, this generic essential horizontal standard is intended for use by product committees as a starting point in preparing PSR standards. Specific requirements developed by product committees in PSR standard take precedence over requirements in this standard.

This document specifies general safety and performance requirements for design and testing as well as limited sustainability considerations such as recovery of nutrients, water consumption and reuse, energy consumption and recovery, and a life cycle assessment for non-sewered sanitation systems (NSSS). This document is applicable to NSSS that are either manufactured as one package, or manufactured as a set of prefabricated components designed to be assembled in one location without further fabrication or modification that influences the NSSS function. An NSSS, for the purposes of this document, is a prefabricated integrated treatment unit, comprising frontend (toilet facility) and backend (treatment facility) components that: a) collects, conveys and fully treats the specific input within the NSSS, to allow for safe reuse or disposal of the generated solid and liquid outputs, and the safe emission of air, noise and odour outputs; b) is designed to operate without being connected to a networked sewer or networked drainage systems. This document also covers NSSS backend components that are designed to be integrated with one or more specified frontends. This document is primarily intended for NSSS that are designed to operate without being connected to water and electricity networks. However, it may also be applied to systems that utilize supplies of either water or electricity, or both. This document defines the basic treatable input as primarily human excreta and gives options for extending the range of input substances. Requirements for the protection of human health and the environment are provided by the specified quality of the outputs, and recirculated water, if any. This document provides criteria for the safety, functionality, usability, reliability and maintainability of the system, as well as its compatibility with environmental protection goals. This document does not cover the following aspects: — guidelines for selection, installation, operation and maintenance, and management of NSSS; — requirements for the amount or type of energy or resources to recover; — transportation of treated output outside of the NSSS (e.g. manual transport, transportation by truck or trunk pipes) for further processing, reuse, or disposal; — treatment processes taking place at another location separate from that of the frontend and backend components; — external reuse and disposal of NSSS output; — the plane or surface (e.g. flooring, concrete pad) upon which a fully assembled NSSS is situated; — NSSS constructed in situ without prefabricated parts.
