Designing for the future —Eco-design standards from BSI
Meet demand for responsible products
The product lifecycle doesn't end when the goods leave the shelf. Products can hang around for a long time, even after their useful life is over.
Eco-design means thinking about the full life cycle from the design stage, and standards can help.
Business benefits:• Improved organizational profile/brand perception• Legislative complicance• Reduction in resource usage/wastage• Cost savings.

BS EN 62430:2009 Environmentally conscious design for electrical and electronic products
The goal of environmentally conscious design (ECD) is the reduction of adverse environmental impacts of a product throughout its entire life cycle. Environmentally conscious design is not a separate design activity; rather, it is an integral part of the existing design process.
BS EN 62430 specifies requirements and procedures to integrate environmental aspects into the design and development processes of electrical and electronic products.
BS EN 62430 is intended for use by all those who design or develop electrical and electronic products. This includes all parties in the supply chain, regardless of organization type, size, location and complexity.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive. Requirements and implementation
If you manufacture, brand, import, sell, store, treat or dismantle electrical or electronic products within the European Union (EU), the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive will affect you. The WEEE Directive came into force in the UK on 1 January 2007. It is a comprehensive and wide-ranging piece of legislation that many companies mistakenly believe is either not applicable to, or does not affect them.
This handbook is a guide to the WEEE Directive for manufacturers, importers and exporters of electrical and electronic equipment.

BS 8492:2009 Telecommunications equipment and telecommunications cabling. Code of practice for fire performance and protection
BS 8492 is the British Standard that gives the recommendations for fire performance and fire protection of all types of telecommu-nications equipment and telecommunications cabling. It covers:
a) Designing and implementing cabling infrastructures
b) Selecting products, including materials and construction
c) Minimizing fire spread
d) Increasing safety levels for personnel and property.
BS 8492 details the relationship between its recommendations, the usage of premises and fire protection measures. BS 8492 applies to certain hazardous environments but does not exclude additional requirements that are applicable in particular circumstances, defined, for example, by electrified railways, petrochemical
sites, intrinsically safe areas, explosive ordnance storage facilities (bomb dumps). An informative Annex considers the fire hazard posed by the installation of telecommunications equipment and telecommunications cabling infrastructure within premises.
