PD IEC GUIDE 118:2024

1 Scope This document is addressed to all TCs and intends to support their work on energy efficiency publications within their specific scope. This document defines procedures for the preparation and revision of basic and group energy efficiency (EE) publications including energy efficiency aspects (EEAs). This document:

describes the contributions of IEC publications to energy efficiency;
describes the concept of an energy efficiency aspect;
provides categories of energy efficiency aspects and a list of energy efficiency aspects to be considered by TCs.
helps in harmonizing the systematic approach to energy efficiency;
promotes the use of a systems approach when addressing energy efficiency aspects in the context of standardization;
raises awareness that provisions in IEC publications can affect the energy performance of the product itself (taken individually) and of the entire application (embedding the product), in both negative and positive ways;
helps TCs to identify energy efficiency ...
