ENVIRONMENTAL DECLARATION –
Part 2: Optical/copper telecom accessories products specific rules

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected
data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for
example "state of the art".
IEC TR 62839-2 which is a technical report, has been prepared by IEC technical committee
46: Cables, wires, waveguides, RF connectors, RF and microwave passive components and
accessories.
The text of this Technical Report is based on the following documents:
Enquiry draft Report on voting
46/683/DTR 46/701/RVDTR

report on voting indicated in the above table.

This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 62839 series, published under the general title Environmental
declaration, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.

INTRODUCTION
ISO 14025:2006 establishes the principles and specifies the procedures for developing
Type III environmental declaration programmes and Type III environmental declarations. It
specifically establishes the use of the ISO 14040 series of standards in the development of
Type III environmental declaration programmes and Type III environmental declarations.
ISO 14025:2006 establishes principles for the use of environmental information, in addition to
those given in ISO 14020:2000.
Type III environmental declarations as described in ISO 14025:2006 are primarily intended for
use in business-to-business communication, but their use in business-to-consumer
communication under certain conditions is not precluded. These environmental declarations,
referred here after as PEP (product environmental footprint), follow specific set of rules and
requirements specified in product category rules declarations that are referred here after as
“PEP/PCR”.

ENVIRONMENTAL DECLARATION –
Part 2: Optical/copper telecom accessories products specific rules

1 Scope
This document specifies the PSR (product specific rules) for optical/copper telecom
accessories products. It covers the use, installation and end of life stages and provides
methodological precisions to PEP/PCR writing for “optical/copper telecom accessories”
products used for communication, data, control and command. PSR and general rules all
together form the product category rules.
In the “accessories” category covered by IEC technical committees 46 and 86, there are four
types of products:
• optical accessories (connectors and splices);
• balanced connectors;
• coaxial connectors;
• metallic waveguides.
This specification document is primarily intended for:
• environment and/or product managers;
• LCA (life cycle assessment) experts in companies, in charge of PEP/PCR development;
• verifiers in charge of PEP/PCR conformity assessment in accordance with the defined
rules.
