The full name of IECQ-HSPM is QC 080000 IECQ-HSPM, which is a process management system for hazardous substances developed by IECQ. The standard it is based on is the QC 080000 standard, which is based on the US EIA/ECCB954 standard, that is, "Standards and Requirements for the Reduction and Exemption of Hazardous Substances for Electronic and Electrical Components and Products", and an international standard developed by IEC.

   The relationship between IECQ-HSPM and the QC 080000 standard is similar to the relationship between the ISO quality management system and ISO9001:2000. IECQ-HSPM is a generic name for a process management system for hazardous substances, and QC 080000 is the implementation standard for certification of this system. The QC 080000 standard is based on ISO9001:2000, not ISO14001 as we might think. Because the system requires EU regulations and customer requirements to be defined as product quality-related characteristic requirements, ISO9001:2000 can better ensure compliance with EU regulations from the perspective of process management and systems.

  IECQ-HSPM system is a process management system for hazardous substances established based on process management ideas. One of the main ideas of the system is to emphasize the application of a general "process management" model to solve the diversity of different enterprises and different products dealing with hazardous substance management requirements (including EU requirements).

The    standard is based on a common denominator: companies need to identify and establish a Hazardous Substances Mitigation (HSF) process, and by managing and maintaining such a process to achieve the organization's specified policies and objectives for hazardous substances process management. Other technical requirements should be implemented by means of testing or process control, so that a common process management standard can be applied to all organizations wishing to meet EU requirements through a management system.

As a management system, like other management systems, the IECQ-HSPM system must first establish HSF policies and objectives, and then realize the policies and objectives by identifying and controlling the required processes, by providing resources to run the process, and by providing resources to run the process. And the monitoring of the system to understand the status of the product, the capability of the process, the suitability, adequacy and effectiveness of the system, improve the system through improvement and continuous improvement, and form a complete PDCA closed loop.
