22、ndard, NSF/ANSI 426 Environmental Leadership and Corporate Social Responsibility Assessment of Servers, has been developed as part of the ongoing efforts of a number of interested parties to document and improve the environmental and corporate performance profile of servers using established and adv

23、anced scientific principles, practices, materials, and standards. The purpose of this Standard for servers is to establish product environmental performance criteria and corporate performance metrics that exemplify environmental leadership and corporate social responsibility in the market. These per

24、formance criteria are intended to form the basis of conformity assessment programs, such as third-party certification or registration. Suggestions for improvement of this Standard are welcome. This Standard is maintained on a Continuous Maintenance schedule and can be opened for comment at any time.

28、servers as defined in the ENERGY STAR Server specification3. This Standard establishes criteria for multiple levels of environmental leadership and corporate social responsibility performance throughout the product life cycle, relating to energy efficiency; management of substances; preferable mater

29、ials use; product packaging; design for repair, reuse and recycling; product longevity; responsible end-of-life management; and corporate responsibility. 1.2 Purpose The purpose of this Standard for servers is to establish product environmental performance criteria and corporate performance metrics

30、that exemplify environmental leadership and corporate social responsibility in the market. The Standard provides a framework and standardized set of performance objectives for manufacturers and the supply chain in the design and manufacture of servers and server components. For purchasers, this Stan

31、dard provides a consensus-based definition of key environmental and corporate social responsibility attributes and performance metrics, alleviating individual purchasers from the arduous and complex task of defining environmental and corporate social responsibility performance for servers and server

32、 manufacturers. This Standard can be used within an established system for the identification of environmentally preferable products by purchasers and to provide market recognition for conforming products and brand manufacturers. This Standard is an environmental leadership and corporate social resp

33、onsibility Standard, defined with the recognition that only leading products, i.e., approximately 25 35% of the products available in the marketplace, would be likely to qualify to the base or Bronze level, and even fewer at the Silver and Gold levels, at the date of publication of this Standard, al

34、though this Standard does not limit the number of products that can so qualify. As the environmental performance of products and that are available in the marketplace, and corporate social responsibility of server manufacturers, improves, it is intended that the criteria will be updated and revised

35、to set a higher performance Standard for leadership products. This Standard will be continually maintained and periodically reviewed to ensure that the definition of environmental leadership and corporate social responsibility, as reflected in the performance criteria, progresses with the evolution

36、of technology and services and environmental and corporate social responsibility improvements in the product sector. 3 ENERGY STAR 1200 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20460 2017 NSF NSF/ANSI 426 2017 2 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the applicatio
