IEC GUIDE 122:2024 raises awareness and provides recommendation on the use of consistent terminology related to halogen content for use in horizontal and product-specific IEC standards.
The terminology related to halogen content provided in this Guide does not take into consideration astatine (At) and the artificially created tennessine (Ts), since they are not used in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). Diatomic halogen molecules (F2, Cl2, Br2, I2), normally not found in EEE, are also excluded from the terminology recommended in this Guide.
