IECQ QC 080000 International Standard for Green Management Systems

QC 080000 IECQ HSPM is a technical specification developed by IECQ for a process management system of restricted substances for electrical and electronic components and products. The standard is based on the U.S. EIA/ECCB 954 standard, "Zero Hazardous Substance Standards and Requirements for Electrical and Electronic Components and Products," and is an international standard developed by IEC. It is an international IECQ technical specification that provides companies with third-party certification to demonstrate that various processes for managing, minimizing and reducing hazardous substances meet the highest standards.

The QC 080000 standard is based on the quality management system standard ISO 9001 and not on ISO 14001, which is related to environmental management. This is primarily because it addresses the requirements of EU regulations (e.g. RoHS and WEEE) or customer requirements (e.g. green products, processes and procurement) related to hazardous substances, and is based on the existing ISO 9001 standard, which is more effective in ensuring compliance from a process management and systems perspective.

The main focus of QC 080000 IECQ HSPM is to address the diversity of hazardous substance management requirements for different companies and products through a common "process management" model. In addition, it must first establish a zero hazardous material (HSF) policy and objectives by identifying and controlling the required processes; by providing resources to implement the processes; by monitoring products, processes and systems to understand the status of products, process capabilities, system suitability, adequacy and effectiveness; and through corrective actions and continuous improvement to form a complete and uninterrupted PDCA cycle.

Why do I need to get QC 080000?

What is the fundamental solution for companies facing the EU RoHS Directive, which was officially implemented on July 1, 2006, and the environmental requirements of other countries and international manufacturers? Can we avoid endless and repeated testing? Can we keep the risks within an acceptable range under Due Diligence? And how to establish a corporate management system for hazardous substances? Under the general trend of environmental protection, how to break through the trade and technical barriers is an urgent problem for domestic and foreign electronic enterprises!

The QC 080000 IECQ HSPM certification will help you to build on your existing quality management system and emphasize technical compliance, from training employees to controlling lead and other hazardous substances. The QC 080000 has been recognized by many of the world's top 500 companies as being very helpful in addressing the requirements of green process management systems, including compliance with the RoHS and WEEE directives.

How do I obtain IECQ HSPM registration?

Certified companies must have ISO 9001 or other ISO 9001-based management systems, such as IATF 16949, TL 9000, etc., and can establish their HSPM system based on QC 080000, and after passing the on-site certification recommendation by DQS, they will be issued a certificate of registration with the IECQ HSPM mark. This certificate proves that the company's zero-hazardous substance process meets the requirements of the technical specification.
