Ecma International
Ecma International is an industry association
founded in 1961, dedicated to the
standardization of Information and
Communication Technology & Consumer
Electronics
Originally “ECMA” stood for European….
In 1994 the name was changed to simply
“Ecma”.
“International” was added because

Ecma TC38
ECMA-370: TED
Product Related Environmental Declaration
Information tool to facilitate green procurement
After 3 editions of ECMA TR/70, decided to:
• Harmonise with
IT ECO declaration
• Publish as ECMA-370 Standard in June 2006
• Also known as TED
Rue du Rhône 114 - CH-1204 Geneva - T: +41 22 849 6000 - F: +41 22 849 6001 - www.ecma-international.org

Why did we harmonise?
TR/70
• Combine the strengths of both successful declarations
• Meet future customer needs e.g. consistent communication
to customers EU wide (worldwide, in different languages)
• Save costs:
several companies do both or more
reduce development/update efforts
EU basis for green procurement (e.g. EKU)
• Prepare for IEC standardisation (TC108) as consequence of
eco design standardisation (ECMA-341/IEC 62075)

ECMA-370 2nd Edition
(Dec 2006)
Update Energy Consumption
• New: Typical Energy Consumption (TEC) – ES imaging
• Synch with IEC 62075 CDV – energy consumption –
power cannot be consumed
Simplification
• Removed „special“ national legal requirements
• Minor changes due to feedback during implemention
Open Issues:
• How to improve review / change process
•
Community like process with WIKI? On Ecma / IT Eco Declaration
web?
• Encourage timely input by other stakeholders like
customers, IEC, NGO, …

WW Eco Declaration (TypeII)
Harmonisation
Target: one set of worldwide attribute &
harmonised declarations
Status:
TED = ECMA-370: international standard with
focus on EU implementation (first)
EPEAT = IEEE 1680: national (US) PC/monitor
eco label with US focus and implementation
GPN declarations: Japan only, TED accepted
for EU by JP members, TED acceptance in JP to
be improved (Mar 2007)

ECMA-370 Summary
• Meets professional public and private purchasers demand
for standardized, comparable product environmental
information
• Is being continuously improved in a transparent and
qualitative process since 1996
• Is used by the majority of IT companies (IT eco)
- reduces the need for eco labels
- is suitable to answer demand in green public tenders
- meets some of the basic principles according to the EU IPP
or EuP Directives
So, ask for ECMA-370 (IT eco) declarations …
… let us know what you think
and if anything is missing
