The criterion: "Required—End-of-life processing requirements" (currently 4.6.2.1) is revised in this amendment.(The PDF of this standard is available to you at no cost to you, sponsored by Green Electronics Council, through the IEEE GET Program https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/browse/standards/get-program/page)

This standard defines environmental performance for televisions, television combination units, and component television units, relating to reduction or elimination of environmentally sensitive materials, materials selection, design for end of life, life-cycle extension, energy conservation, end-of-life management, corporate performance, and packaging. This standard applies to products that are primarily marketed as televisions, and does not cover computer displays as defined by IEEE 1680.1

This standard for televisions is part of the IEEE 1680 family of standards that provides a clear and consistent set of performance criteria for the design of electronic products, and provides an opportunity to secure market recognition for efforts to reduce the environmental impact of electronic products. This television standard is intended to provide a tool for government, institutional, corporate, and consumer purchasers. Product manufacturers may use this tool to earn recognition in these markets, recognizing that certain criteria may not be applicable to all types of purchasers.
