| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| BS EN ISO 9001 | Quality management. Optional (all the BS EN ISO ones are), but very well known - many other companies QA may require it. |
| BSI | British Standards Institution More than 30,000 standards. British Standard Verification shown by the BSI kitemark. |
| BS EN | If British standard accenpted by European standardisation |
| Examples of BS EN standards | Safety of toys. Mechanical and physical properties. Electric toys. Safety. Absorption rate of human exposure to EM fields from mobile phones. |
| ISO | International Standards Organisation. A federation of national standards institutions. Important for expanding market your company is selling in. |
| CE mark | Product conforms to all relevant European safety standards. Mandatory for product sold in EU. |
| BS EN ISO 14000 | Environmental management |
| BS EN ISO 50001 | Energy management |
| BS EN ISO 31000 | Risk management |
| RoHS | Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. Restricts specific materials in electronics from entering the production process, preventing damage to human health and the environment. All EU products require it. e.g. lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium |
| Battery Directive | Deals with restriction of hazardous substances and safe disposal of batteries and accumulators. Limit of 0.0005% mercury, 0.002% cadmium. All batteries need crossed-out wheelie bin. Clear instructions for safe removal and disposal must be provided. |
| What is an accumulator | Used for storing energy or power such as a capacitor or electromechanical cell used in rechargeable batteries |
| Mobius Loop | Shows product may be recycled. Internationally recognised. May include a percentage or an SPI code |
| SPI | Society of Plastics Industry SPI codes state the polymer resin used for effective separation (the recycling numbers and labels) |
| EU packaging and packaging waste directive aims | Aims to limit production of and prompt recycling/reuse of packaging materials. Non-mandatory, but again some companies/countries need it to make deals to meet QA |
| EU packaging and packaging waste directive requirements | 60% mass of packaging waste recovered/incinerated *with energy recovery* All packaging materials marked visibly on product/label Monitor to: Keep weight + volume to a minimum Reduce hazardous substances Design reusable/recoverable packaging |
| EU Battery Directive | Mandatory if product to be sold in EU |
| WEEE directive | Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive Mandatory European. Covers end of life of electronics. All relevant products must also carry crossed out wheelie bin sticker to show compliance Is a type of EC directive (energy compliant) |
| EC energy label | Compulsory on household appliances. Coloured scale used to be from A to G, now from A+++ to D. Compulsory and high visibility in retail - improved efficiency by manufacturers. |
| Eco-labelling | Wide range of voluntary environmental certifications. Greater information to customers. The European energy label needs stuff like energy saving, water saving, reduction of noise etc for washing machine |
| EU Ecolabel | aka EU flower. Environmental excellence throughout life-cycle Is the accepted ecolabel for the EU, but there are others for other regions too |
| EC energy label stats | recognised by 93% of consumers and 75% use it to get informed when buying labelled products |
| Energy efficiency label | Certification mark issued by the energy saving trust for only the most energy efficient product within each category. |
| FSC | Forest Stewardship Council Well-managed forests and/or recycled materials. Is the only forest certification scheme endorsed by WWF, Greenpeace, and The Woodland Trust |
| FSC certified forests | Managed in an environmentally/socially beneficial and economically viable manner, protecting wildlife and people Workers must be local, trained, and work in a safe environment for a fair wage. When trees harvested, replaced or allowed to regenerate |
| EU Energy Star® | Agreement between EU and US. Standardises IT equipment labelling for energy usage. Products assessed on power usage when idle and in sleep. Collated into database for informed customer decisions. |
| What to specifically mention for RoHS | Is to prevent damage to human health and environment |
| How to comply with WEEE | Must give info on how to dispose Dismanting guides Comply with RoHS Must offer recycle/takeback schemes |
| Benefits of WEEE | More expensive but maybe can price higher with reputation. May sell replacements |
| Cons of environment labels | Green-washing = fake eco-labelling. Possible because of tons of different labels. |
| Pros of eco-labelling to consumer | Consumers like feeling good and give example e.g. washing machine water saving |
| Cons of eco-labelling to consumer | Maybe more expensive and give example |
