What is PD CEN/TR 17004 - Environmental communication models about?

PD CEN/TR 17004 is an international standard used for mechanical products that specifies the types of communication and properties of mechanical products. PD CEN/TR 17004 is useful in communicating these properties of a mechanical product by using environmental communication models. PD CEN/TR 17004 provides guidance on how to apply existing communication models regarding environmental concerns to mechanical products. Carrying out communication models for environmental performances of mechanical products can be relevant for several entities, e.g., single companies, enterprises, collective bodies (trade associations, standardization committees, etc.) and others. On the one hand, mechanical products represent a large variety of non-uniform items. They can be characterized by several properties distinguishing them from each other. On the other hand, various generic standards/standard-series are existent addressing how to communicate environmental issues. Note: PD CEN/TR 17004 provides a consistent approach on how to match a particular mechanical product with an appropriate generic standard. In order to do so, PD CEN/TR 17004 contains criteria to cluster the great variety of mechanical products into categor...
