Sustainable development

Sustainability has been taken into account from the beginning of the product design including the

pro-environmental manufacturing process, long life time, operation reliability and disposing of the

IED.

The choice of materials and the suppliers have been made according to the EU RoHS directive

(2002/95/EC). This directive limits the use of hazardous substances which are the following:

Table 1:

Substance

Lead - Pb

Mercury - Hg

Cadmium - Cd

Hexavalent Chromium Cr (VI)

Polybrominated biphenyls - PBB

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers - PBDE

Operational reliability and long life time have been assured with extensive testing during the

design and manufacturing processes. Moreover, long life time is supported by maintenance and

repair services as well as by the availability of spare parts.

Design and manufacturing have been done under a certified environmental system. The

effectiveness of the environmental system is constantly evaluated by an external auditing body.

We follow environmental rules and regulations systematically to evaluate their effect on our

products and processes.

3.2

Disposing of the IED

Definitions and regulations of hazardous materials are country-specific and change when the

knowledge of materials increases. The materials used in this product are typical for electric and

electronic devices.

All parts used in this product are recyclable. When disposing of an IED or its parts contact a local

waste handler who is authorized and specialized in disposing electronic waste. These handlers can

sort the material by using dedicated sorting processes and dispose of the product according to

the local requirements.
