Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
In recent years, policy makers throughout the world have focused their attention on ways to reduce
environmental impact. In many countries, this has led to, or will soon lead to, new incentives with the
result that end-of-life processes now need to be considered at the design stage. Consequently, there is
an increasing focus on not only the production of a product but also what is to be done when the user
has finished with it. Thus, this document includes consideration of disassembling the product and the
treatment of the components through processes such as reworking, recycling, reusing or disposing.
This document aims to specify the documentation requirements for integrating these environmental
aspects into the design and development of products. It relates to the following four stages:
With regard to production:
— the manufacturing of the components;
— the assembling of the components to produce a product.
With regard to end of use:
— the disassembling into component parts;
— the end-of-life processing of those components.
It addresses the design task, irrespective of whether the designer works for a manufacturer, a design
company, or is freelance. It is applicable to all types of manufactured products.
This document expands the life cycle model in ISO 15226 to cover multiple life cycles.

Technical product documentation — Design for
manufacturing, assembling, disassembling and end-of-life
processing —
Part 1:
General concepts and requirements
1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements for the preparation, content and structure of technical
product documentation (TPD) of design output for the cycles of manufacturing, assembling,
disassembling and end-of-life processing of products. It describes the TPD needed at the critical stages
of a design process.
It identifies and describes methods and conventions appropriate to the preparation of documentation, in
whatever form, necessary to realize a design including the application to multiple life cycles. It extends
beyond specification for the manufacturing and assembling of products to incorporate guidance on the
ultimate reusing, recovering, recycling and disposing of the components and materials used.

4 Documentation
4.1 Design aims
This document is intended to describe the considerations to be applied during the design and
manufacturing processes in order to document and record the utilization of the materials and
components of a product to optimize their efficient use through multiple life cycles. This holistic
approach (see the schematic diagram in Figure 1) has the potential to lower long-term costs and to
minimize the environmental impact, for example, by reducing the need for obtaining and processing
new materials.
NOTE For more information on the design stages within the product development process, see, for example,

4.2 Design documentation
Design documentation for manufacturing, assembling, disassembling and end-of-life processing shall
be prepared, maintained, and archived so that the information is available for reference, maintenance
and further development (see ISO 11442).
Design documentation should include a record of the reasoning behind all basic design decisions (see
4.3 to 4.8), as well as the resulting TPS, to provide the information which may be required for further
decisions.
Design is an iterative process. Each stage of the process should be recorded in the documentation.
Initial options for design solutions which will meet the requirements of the design brief are assessed to
find that solution with the best potential for meeting the brief.
4.3 Design brief
The design brief is a documentation collating the set of requirements which identify and define a
perceived market need. The design brief includes the following, which are expanded in Table 1:
— establishment of market/customer need;
— determination of technical feasibility;
— assessment of serviceability;
— consideration of end-of-life implications.
Table 1 is presented in the form of a checklist of subjects to be considered as potential elements of
a design brief that may be included, as appropriate. This list is not necessarily exhaustive for any
particular project and the format is provided by way of example only although it might be of assistance
to users.
