Criterion 4.5.2.1 – Key ElementsRenewable energy accessory available

“Commercially available

for purchase with the

product”

• Purchaser must have the option to buy

the accessory at the same time as

buying the computer / display.

• However, accessory may be provided

by (or come from) a third-party.

• Purchasers must be notified somehow

of the availability of the accessory when

purchasing the computer / display – for

example: on website or in product

literature. Information must be available

when purchasing product.

• Declaration on the EPEAT Registry is

not of itself adequate commercial

documentation.

EPEAT

cycle of product

• Accessory must be capable of

powering a typical duty cycle of the

product.

• Intent is to provide a majority of the

power needed by the computer or

• Applicable:

– Wherever the product is sold (not country specific)


– All products


EPEAT



18

“Batteries and

accumulators”

• Applies to a battery pack, including a

detachable battery pack for a

notebook computer.

• Includes any components of a

chemical storage device that are

removable from a battery-powered

device as a unit, at the time

immediately prior to recycling

– Cells

connectors) that are permanently

EU Battery Directive

• Directive 2006/66/EC has been amended

updated to 2013/56/EU (no Hg exemption

for button cell battery as of Oct 1, 2015).

http://eur-

lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?ur

i=OJ:L:2013:329:0005:0009:EN:PDF

• Limits are:

– Mercury: 5 ppm (0.0005%) by weight of

battery

– Cadmium: 20 ppm (0.002%) by weight

of battery

• Directive does not have a limit for lead,

therefore not possible to verify the

presence of “technically unavoidable

impurities.”

• Therefore, evidence only needed for

mercury and cadmium (not lead).

Test data required

• Whether empirical or analytical,

results from laboratory testing is

required.

• Reports should identify date, lab

name / location and test method.

• Reports should be no older than two

years. However, auditors may use

professional judgment, experience

and expertise in consideration of

older data (e.g. initial registration

date, if higher-risk components,

likelihood of material change,

presence of CAS).

indicating all components in product,

including batteries.

• Test data showing the criterion thresholds

are being met:

– Mercury: 5 ppm by weight of battery

Keep in mind:

• Showing that all homogeneous

“Listed part”

• Key to criterion is “listed part.”

• Threshold of 50ppm by weight per

listed part.

• According to Interpretation 1-5, the

term “listed part” means any part or

component of the VDU such as those

listed in the criterion or others listed in

a BOM.

• At a minimum, this “list” must include

the components specifically identified

in the criterion – display, housing,

batteries, cables, adapters and other

peripheral equipment used to

generate an image.

power supply or adapter; external power

cable; cable to connect to computer;

battery; printed circuit board; etc.

• Notebook: LCD screen; housing around the

LCD screen (i.e. the top portion of the

notebook that flips up); external power

28

Exemptions

• Criterion states “This does not apply

to European RoHS Directive

exemptions.”

• This means materials that are

exempted by the RoHS Directive do

not have to meet the threshold in the

criterion (i.e. they are also exempted

by the criterion and do not need to be

included in the calculations).

• Also listed part can be above

threshold if it can be shown it comes

from the use of recycled content.

• Should address product at point of manufacture

and whether reusable or recyclable, NOT actual

reuse and recycling.

• Energy recovery (e.g. waste-to-energy) and

materials / components separated out by

recyclers for waste-to-energy do not count as

recyclable.

• Components that contain metals and are sent to a

recycling facility using thermal process for

recovering the metals, (e.g. smelting) do count as

recyclable.

to the metals, even if sent to smelter along with

circuit board material.

Determining the

percentage

• Power cords / external power

adapters for all products and input

cables for displays must be included

in calculations.

total weight of product in

denominator.

calculating the percentage of product that is recyclable / reusable

− List of websites showing recycling technologies

− Documentation from recyclers regarding technologies being used to process/handle the product
