Life Cycle Management



Life cycle management is the process that enables ABB to innovate and manage the products and related services throughout the entire business life cycle – effectively and efficiently. We are transparent about ABB products' life cycle and support our customers in managing a smooth transition through the different life-cycle stages.

The ABB life cycle management process originates from:

  • IEC 62402, the IEC Application Guide about Obsolescence Management, which stresses the importance of managing obsolescence as an integral part of the design, development, production and in-service support of a product
  • The extensive, lengthy experience of ABB for the management of products and their life cycle.



Four stages define the ABB Electrification Life-Cycle policy:
