StandardizationPromote the optimization of the economy, taking into account the functional conditions, safety and environmental requirements throughout the product life cycle
Environmental standardizationEssential to implement the National Policy on Solid Waste
IEC / ABNT
International Electrotechnical CommissionIs the world´s leading organization that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies.
The Brazilian Association of Technical StandardsIs the organization of technical standardization in Brazil and the exclusive Brazilian representative for the international and regional entities:
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) COPANT (Pan American Technical Standards Commission) AMN (Mercosur Standardization Association)
IEC TC 111 /ABNT CE 111
IEC TC 111 – International environmental standardization for electrical and electronic products and systemsObjective: To prepare necessary guidelines, basic and horizontal standards, including technical reports, in the environmental area.
ABNT CE 03:111.01 – Brazilian environmental standardization for electrical and electronic products and systemsObjective: Providing the Brazilian standards for environmentally friendly electronics, acting as a mirror of the IEC TC 111.
Subjects:Ecodesign, material declaration, test methods, cleaner production, recycling, etc.

Around 60 companies contribute to CE 111, as well as researchers and development centers, universities and government institutions
ONGOING PROJECTS
Standards for the determination of levels of the RoHS substances into electrical and electronic equipment
Guidelines for the provision of information about the end-of-life, necessary to calculate the recyclability rate of electrical and electronic equipment
RESULTS FROM ABNT CE 111
BRAZILIAN STANDARDS EQUIVALENT TO IEC TC 111
Environmentally conscious design Management system for hazardous substances in products and
electrical and electronic components Guidance for evaluation of products with respect to substance - use
restrictions in electrical and electronic products Environmental information on electrical and electronic equipment Material declaration for products of and for the electrotechnical
industry
NATIONAL STANDARD UNDER PUBLICATION
Waste electrical and electronic equipment – Requirements for the activity of reverse manufacturing (for recyclers)
MOTIVATIONS FOR THE BRAZILIAN REQUIREMENTS TO RECYCLERS
The requirements for reverse logistics systems for electronic equipments are essential to implement the National Policy on Solid Waste
Encourage the development of competence in electronics recycling, objecting to reduce damage to the environment
Ensure that processes adopted are consistent with best practices in waste management, avoiding incorrect destination of materials
Ensure occupational health and safety of those involved in the processes of electronics recycling
BRAZILIAN REQUIREMENTS FOR REVERSE MANUFACTURING
