Environmental friendliness

Environmental aspects during the development
The number of components has been significantly reduced over earlier converter series by the use of highly
integrated components and the modular design of the complete series. Thus, the energy requirement during
production has been reduced.
Special significance was placed on the reduction of the volume, weight and variety of metal and plastic
components.
Plastic parts used:
Halogen-containing flame retardants were, for all essential components, replaced by environmentally-friendly
flame retardants.
Environmental compatibility was an important criterium when selecting the supplied components.
Environmental aspects during production
Purchased components are generally supplied in recyclable packaging materials (board).
Surface finishes and coatings were eliminated with the exception of the galvanized sheet steel side panels.
ASIC devices and SMD devices were used on the boards.
The product is emission-free.
Environmental aspects for disposal
The unit can be broken-down into recyclable mechanical components as a result of the easily releasable screw-
and snap connections.
The plastic components and moulded housing are to DIN 54840 and have a recycling symbol.
Units can be disposed of through certified disposal companies. Addresses are available from your local Siemens
partner.
