Scope and Field of Application
|
This work relates and builds on and complements the DTS/EE-EEPS55 (TS 103 881) work item that defines requirements for a global digital sustainable product passport/information (and any information items there will be moved to this work item). This proposed new work item aims at the definition of an information model for the description of details about ICT products, with a focus on the environment: circularity, environmental sustainability, and human health. This work will determine the information items, to be represented in digital format, about ICT product information, either as individual products or grouped by model, batch, etc. common to all ICT products or specific to certain product categories. The information details can represent products at any time of their circular lifespan: design, manufacturing, through the usage phases and changes over the lifespan, until final recycling as e-waste. An information model can help inform relevant actors involved with ICT products. The goal of the recommendation is to define the semantics required to represent the relevant information in a feasible digital form, related and building on existing digital data formats, linked data, and data system architectures, as well as relate to and complement upcoming regional (e.g. European digital product passport) and global (ISO PCDS, IEC 82474-1) standards. This recommendation relates to and builds on other ITU-T recommendations and work items, such as the L.1023 recommendation on an assessment method for circular scoring that can translate into information items. It can facilitate the calculation of environmental impacts of different ICT products according to ES 203 1999 and ITU-T L.1400-1451, and mobile phones according to L.1015. . This will be a TA with ITU-T L.D4PI
