IEEE 1680标准系列定义了电子产品的环境性能标准。本文件的范围是为IEEE 1680标准系列中包含的标准提供指南和实施程序。IEEE 1680标准系列中的每项标准都应针对特定产品或一组产品，至少在以下八类环境性能中提出标准:减少或消除环境敏感材料、材料选择、寿命终止设计、寿命周期延长、节能、最终寿命- 生命管理、企业绩效和包装。

The IEEE 1680 family of standards defines environmental performance criteria for electronic products. The scope of this document is to provide guidelines and implementation procedures for the standards included in the IEEE 1680 family of standards. Each standard in the IEEE 1680 family of standards shall address criteria for a specific product or group of products in at least the following eight categories of environmental performance: reduction or elimination of environmentally sensitive materials, materials selection, design for end of life, life cycle extension, energy conservation, end-of-life management, corporate performance, and packaging.
