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 the suppliers have been made according to the EU RoHS directive (2011/65/EU). This directive limits the use of hazardous substances which are the following:
| Substance | Proposed maximum concentration |
|---|---|
| Lead - Pb | 0.1% |
| Mercury - Hg | 0.1% |
| Cadmium - Cd | 0.01% |
| Hexavalent Chromium Cr (VI) | 0.1% |
| Polybrominated biphenyls - PBB | 0.1% |
| Polybrominated diphenyl ethers - PBDE | 0.1% |
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.
