ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
By complying with your national regulations regarding disposal of electric,
electronic, and battery waste, you can make a positive contribution to our
shared environment. Such waste can introduce harmful elements into the
environment as a whole and may also endanger human health
.
The Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals
(REACH), a European Union regulation, requires Philips Healthcare to provide
chemical content information for Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) if
they are present above 0.1% of the article weight. The SVHC list is updated on a
regular basis. Therefore, refer to the following Philips REACH website for the
most up-to-date list of products containing SVHC above the threshold:
