scope:

IEC TR 62726, which is a technical report (hereinafter referred to as "report") describes principles and guidance on quantifying greenhouse gas emission (CO2e) reductions compared to a baseline (which includes "business as usual") for electrical and electronic products and systems (hereinafter referred as EE products). This report addresses GHG reduction through an EE product-related GHG project, not just the difference between GHG emissions of two EE products. This report is applicable to any type of EE product-related GHG projects which are introducing low-carbon technologies or highly energy-efficient products, etc., including both final products and intermediate products. This report is based on the result of a comparative study on existing methodologies published or under discussion in international organizations. This report is intended to be used by those involved in design, development and use of EE products, and their supply chains regardless of industry sectors, regions, types, activities and sizes of organizations.
