The main intended use of this document is to provide a means for information on the use of CRMs to be exchanged up and down the supply chain and with other relevant stakeholders.
Potential users of this document are any public, private or social enterprises involved in the production of ErP, such as manufacturers of energy-related products (including SMEs) and other organisations in the product supply chain. It is also relevant to European market surveillance and trade authorities as well as European policy makers.
This document is horizontal in nature, and can be applied directly to any type of energy-related product.
This document proposes a standardized format for reporting use of CRMs in energy-related products by applying the
Process chemicals, emissions during product manufacturing and packaging are not in scope of this document.

C.3 The EU CRM list refers for example to heavy and light rare-earth materials. What are rare-earth materials? What substances are included? |
23 | C.4 If CRMs are referred to as materials, why does EN IEC 62474 deal with substance or substance group? C.5 Can the CRM list of the EU be used as such for declaration? C.6 Why is a distinction made between regulated and non-regulated CRMs in the standard? |
