Green and Clean

The IEEE Green and Clean Standards are a set of guidelines and standards that focus on promoting environmentally friendly and sustainable practices in the design, production, and disposal of electronic devices

Popular IEEE Green Clean Standards are:

  • IEEE 1680 Series (EPEAT Standards):

    • IEEE 1680.1: Standard for Environmental Assessment of Personal Computer Products.
    • IEEE 1680.2: Standard for Environmental Assessment of Imaging Equipment.
    • IEEE 1680.3: Standard for Environmental Assessment of Televisions.

  • IEEE 1621-2004:

    • Standard for Energy Efficiency of Electronic Products (e.g., sleep modes, energy consumption during idle periods).

  • IEEE 1686-2013:

    • Standard for Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) Cyber Security Capabilities, which also includes considerations for energy efficiency and environmental impact.

  • IEEE 1547 Series:

    • Standards related to interconnecting distributed energy resources with electric power systems, focusing on renewable energy integration.

  • IEEE 802.3az-2010 (Energy-Efficient Ethernet):

    • The standard specifies mechanisms to reduce the power consumption of Ethernet devices during periods of low data activity.
