What is BS EN 45558 - Method to declare the use of critical raw materials about?
BS EN 45558 guidelines are used for general method to declare the use of critical raw materials in energy-related products. By following BS EN 45558 guidelines you can improve the quality of these energy related products. BS EN 45558 provides a means for information on the use of CRMs to be exchanged up to, and down the supply chain, and with other relevant stakeholders. Raw materials are at the core of concepts such as resource efficiency, and circular economy, which are crucial to the economy, and essential to maintaining, and improving the quality of life. Securing reliable, and unhindered access to certain raw materials is a growing concern across the globe.
BS EN 45558 is horizontal in nature, and can be applied directly to any type of energy-related product. BS EN 45558 does not provide or determine any specific method or tool to collect CRM data. Process chemicals, emissions during product manufacturing, and packaging are not in the scope of BS EN 45558.
Who is BS EN 45558 - Method to declare the use of critical raw materials for?
BS EN 45558 on general method to declare the use of critical raw materials in energy-related products applicable to:
- Manufacturers of energy-related products
- European market surveillance
- Trade Authorities
- European policymakers
Why should you use BS EN 45558 - Method to declare the use of critical raw materials?
As the CRM industry is very scarce, the users will need to have knowledge of CRMs in energy-related products. This BS EN 45558 gives information on CRMs in energy-related products. BS EN 45558 helps in reporting the substances, and material, standardising protocols, facilitating in transferring, and processing of data used by Electrical, and Electronic Equipment. Basically, it specifies the rules, and format for sharing information on the use of CRM, and energy-related products.
BS EN 45558 specifies a test method for the declaration of CRMs. With the help of BS EN 45558 you can obtain information, and report on CRMs in energy-related products. BS EN 45558 provides a general methodology which is useful in implementing the eco-design directive in the in energy-related products.
