Technical professional organisation IEEE has announced its new working groups will immediately kick off the development process to create standards for the EPEAT registry.
In July, IEEE announced its plan to move the IEEE 1680 standards forward. Since then, working groups have been established for IEEE P1680.1, Standard for Environmental Assessment of Personal Computer Products, and IEEE P1680.4, Standard for Environmental Assessment of Servers. These working groups, comprising a broad coalition of key constituents from the academic, environmental, business, governmental agencies and purchaser communities, will ensure that balance, openness and inclusivity are part of the development process.
Deeply rooted in a broad consensus from organisations of all sizes and across all technologies, the IEEE standards process is globally respected and accepted as an established framework for driving environmentally friendly innovations across the globe.
EPEAT is a global registry for greener electronics, conceived and developed through the collaboration of stakeholders from the business, advocacy, government, and academic arenas.
