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 device.
The choice of materials and suppliers has been made according to the EU RoHS directive (2011/65/EU) and EU RoHS Directive (2015/863/EU). These directives limit the use of hazardous substances.
Operational reliability and long life time have been ensured 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.
A life cycle assessment has been done according to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 to analyze the environmental impacts of the product throughout its entire lifecycle. The results are available in the environmental product declaration (EPD) according to ISO 14025, and this also includes a description of the constituent materials.
