UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SYSTEMS (UPS) –

Requirements and reporting

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.
International Standard IEC 62040-4 has been prepared by subcommittee 22H: Uninterruptible
power systems (UPS), of IEC technical committee 22: Power electronic systems and
equipment.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
22H/157/FDIS 22H/162/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 62040 series, published under the general title Uninterruptible
power systems, can be found on the IEC website.

the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be

INTRODUCTION
The publication of this product standard for environmental information of UPS is intended to
become a reference document for regulators, manufacturers, purchasers, certifying bodies
and users, so that the goal of promoting reduction of the environmental impact during a
complete UPS life cycle is achieved.
This standard provides assistance to:
– determine essential environmental parts of environmental standards, regulations, code of
conducts, agreements, and other requirements applicable to UPS to ensure compliance
and avoid need of interpretation,
– respond to customer requirements by communicating environmental information in a
standardized way,
– minimize reporting requirements by focusing on main applicable environmental
requirements,
– anticipate upcoming environmental regulations and environmental programs applicable to
UPS by proposing a standard that provides compliance requirements,
– standardize the transmission of environmental information in the supply chain,
– report and communicate environmental information to be used as a reference for
measuring environmental progress between one generation of product and the next.

UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SYSTEMS (UPS) –

Part 4: Environmental aspects –
Requirements and reporting



1 Scope
This part of the IEC 62040 series specifies the process and requirements to declare the
environmental aspects concerning uninterruptible power systems (UPS), with the goal of
promoting reduction of any adverse environmental impact during a complete UPS life cycle.
This product standard is harmonized with the applicable generic and horizontal environmental
standards and contains additional details relevant to UPS.
This standard applies to movable, stationary and fixed UPS that deliver single or three-phase
fixed frequency a.c. output voltage not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. and that present, generally
through a d.c. link, an energy storage system and specified in IEC 62040 product standards
for UPS (Part 1: Safety, Part 2: EMC and Part 3: Test and performance).
The following applications are excluded from the scope:
– conventional a.c. input and output distribution boards;
– d.c. distribution boards and their associated switches (e.g. switches for batteries, rectifier
output or inverter input);
– stand-alone static transfer systems (STS) specified in IEC 62310 product standards for
STS (Part 1: Safety, Part 2: EMC and Part 3: Test and performance);
– systems wherein the output voltage is derived from a rotating machine.
