PHASE 4 - Detailed Concept & Design

{Develop a detailed definition of the entire product and do a detailed technical design.}

    Waste

      Design for Recycling (DfR); Design for Disassembly (DfD); Design for Reuse (DfR); design for upgrade; design for extra-long lifetime; Design to comply with WEEE, ELV, etc.

      Minimize the number of subsystems, components and the complexity of tools necessary for disassembly. Consider that the product should be extensible to a product family without drastic redesign; it should have a long life and be easily upgradable.


    Consumer / Environmental health

      Design for Environment (DfE); design for reclamation; Design for RoHS, ELV, etc.


    Limited resources & energy

      Design for low power; design for minimal (or no) Calibration; Design For EuP, CEC, etc.

      Consider using paperless tools and documentation, 3d CAD and simulations as much as possible to save on consumables; this assumes the tools are themselves low power consuming.


    Product safety & liability



    The PRS is refined in this phase. All new and refined EG claims, which will be verified later, should be resolved and included in the PRS.
