What is IECQ
The IECQ is the IEC International Conformity Assessment Scheme providing a single
International Assessment and Certification System covering electronic components, related
materials, sub assemblies and processes.
IECQ therefore provides a single International Conformity
Assessment tool to support the "Business to Business Supply Chain Management System".
4
IECQ – Part of the IEC
IECQ, a Certification System of the IEC – the International Electrotechnical Commission
The IEC was founded in 1906 in London, UK
Its Head Office is in Geneva, CH
The IEC is one of the International Standardisation Bodies recognised by the World Trade Organisation (WTO), others include ISO, ITU
The IEC Charter is to promote International Standardisation in the Electrotechnical Sectors.

IECQ Mission
IECQ's Mission Statement
IECQ provides visibility and independent verification that electronic components and related materials and processes, including those below the user's level of specification in the supply chain, are compliant to relevant IEC standards and IECQ recognized specifications and quality requirements.
12
Why Have IECQ ?
Use of Suppliers Certified under the IECQ System provides confidence that components and processes, associated with final products, comply with stated Standards and Manufacturers’/Suppliers’ Technical Specifications and Data Sheets.

ISO 9001 Certification alone?
Extract: 1.2 ApplicationAll requirements of this International Standard are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size and product provided.
Where any requirement(s) of this International Standard cannot be applied due to the nature of an organization and its product, this can be considered for exclusion.
Where exclusions are made, claims of conformity to this International Standard are not acceptable unless these exclusions are limited to requirements within clause 7, and such exclusions do not affect the organization's ability, or responsibility, to provide product that meets customer and applicable regulatory requirements.
IECQ QC 080000 - Why?
ISO 14001 Certification alone?
Extract from Introduction:
This International Standard does not establish absolute requirements for environmental performance beyond the commitments, in the environmental policy, to comply with applicable legal requirements and with other requirements to which the organization subscribes, to prevention of pollution and to continual improvement.
Thus, two organizations carrying out similar operations but having different environmental performance can both conform to its requirements.
31
IECQ QC 080000 ADDS to ISO 9001
QC 080000 builds on the existing Generic Quality Management System Requirements of ISO 9001
ISO 9001 MUST be read in conjunction with QC 080000
QC 080000 includes the requirements for managing Hazardous Substances that are in addition to the “base line” Management System requirements of ISO 9001
To facilitate easy use, QC 080000 uses the same Clause numbering as ISO 9001
32
IECQ QC 080000 Compliments ISO 9001 Extract from IECQ QC 080000 Foreword
This IECQ Specification and its requirements are based on the belief that the achievement ofHazardous Substance Free (HSF) products and production processes cannot be realized without an effective integration of management disciplines. This Specification is a supplement to and exists in concert with the ISO 9001-2000 Quality Management System (QMS) framework for thecomprehensive, systematic, and transparent management and control of processes pursuant to
HSF goals. This document is based on the EIA/ECCB Standard 954 Electrical and Electronic Components and Products Hazardous Substance Free Standard and Requirements to serve as guidance for manufacturers in the fulfillment of HSF and customer requirements which may include regulatory requirements such as Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) and Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

IECQ Proposal
APEC SCSC supports the industry need for, and added value provided by, an International approach to managing Hazardous Substances.
That the IECQ System with its IECQ HSPM Specification, QC 080000, is recognised as a means of satisfying this need.
