1.5 Product Disposal

Note. The following only applies to European customers.
ABB is committed to ensuring that the risk of any environmental damage or pollution
caused by any of its products is minimized as far as possible. The European Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive (2002 / 96 / EC) that came into
force on August 13 2005 aims to reduce the waste arising from electrical and electronic
equipment; and improve the environmental performance of all those involved in the life
cycle of electrical and electronic equipment.
In conformity with European local and national regulations (EU Directive 2002 / 96 / EC
stated above), electrical equipment marked with the above symbol may not be
disposed of in European public disposal systems after 12 August 2005.

1.6 Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

The European Union RoHS Directive and subsequent regulations introduced in member
states and other countries limits the use of six hazardous substances used in the
manufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment. Currently, monitoring and control
instruments do not fall within the scope of the RoHS Directive, however ABB has taken
RoHS
the decision to adopt the recommendations in the Directive as the target for all future
product design and component purchasing.

1.7 REACH directive

The candidate list according to Article 59 of the Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 on the Registration,
Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of chemicals (REACH) continues to expand. Article 33 places a
legal obligation on an article producer to inform recipients of the information requirements when a candidate
list substance is contained within an article at percentage of greater than 0.1% W/W.
The AZ25 probe, product number AZ25/ all variants, aluminosilicates (CAS, 142844-00-6) a class 2
carcinogen, is contained at a percentage marginally greater than 0.1% of the weight of the product. The
material is totally enclosed within the product and should pose no risk to the user during installation, use
and decommissioning providing the probe is handled in accordance with the instructions defined in the
user manual. The probe should be disposed of as hazardous waste.
