ISO 14025:2006 establishes the principles and specifies the procedures for developing Type III environmental declaration programmes and Type III environmental declarations. It specifically establishes the use of the ISO 14040 series of standards in the development of Type III environmental declaration programmes and Type III environmental declarations. ISO 14025:2006 establishes principles for the use of environmental information, in addition to those given in ISO 14020:2000. Type III environmental declarations as described in ISO 14025:2006 are primarily intended for use in business-to-business communication, but their use in business-to-consumer communication under certain conditions is not precluded. These environmental declarations, referred here after as PEP (Product Environmental Footprint), follow specific set of rules and requirements specified in Product Category Rules declarations that are referred here after as “PEP/PCR”. This document specifies the PSR (Product Specific Rules) for Optical/copper telecom accessories products. This PSR covers the use, installation and end of life stages and provides methodological precisions to PEP/PCR writing for “optical/copper telecom accessories” products used for communication, data, control and command. PSR and General Rules all together form the Product Category Rules. In the “Accessories” category covered by the TC 46 and TC 86, there are four types of products: – Optical accessories (connectors and splices) – Balanced Connectors – Coaxial connectors – Metallic Waveguides This specification document is primarily intended for: – Environment and/or product managers – LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) experts in companies, in charge of PEP/PCR development – Verifiers in charge of PEP/PCR conformity assessment in accordance with the defined rules.
