2 Environmental aspects
2.1 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 device.
The choice of materials and suppliers has been made according to the EU RoHS
directive (2011/65/EU). This directive limits 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.
