IEC 63366:2025 defines product category rules (PCR) for electrical and electronic products and systems (EEPS) to develop Type III environmental declarations for electrical and electronic products and systems (EEPS). It specifies the process and requirements on how to conduct life cycle assessment (LCA) in the context of environmental declarations.
This document provides common rules for:
a) LCA, including the requirements for developing default scenarios;
b) the LCA report;
c) the development of PSR.
This document provides further guidelines for environmental declarations.
The LCA principles and framework are based on ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, and are therefore out of scope of this document.
PCR is complemented by additional product-specific rules (PSR), which further define, for example, functional units and default scenarios in the product-specific context. Therefore, this document also provides guidance on how to develop PSR in corresponding technical committees.
This document has the status of a horizontal publication in accordance with IEC Guide 108. In accordance with IEC Guide 108, this generic essential horizontal standard is intended for use by product committees as a starting point in preparing PSR standards. Specific requirements developed by product committees in PSR standard take precedence over requirements in this standard.
When there is no PSR available in a product committee, this generic essential horizontal standard could be applied by LCA practitioners with recorded complementary specifications.
