LIFECYCLE CONCEPT FOR TRANSPORT, INSTALLATION,
REPAIR , SERVICE AND DISPOSAL AT END OF LIFE
ABB is committed to the protection of the environment and
adhere to ISO 14001 standards. The unit contains no subs-
tances listed on the hazardous substances list.
The unit contains SF
with 0,4 bar overpressure in a main-
6
tenance free and sealed unit. The unit is a sealed pressure
system and restrictions for air transport exist. Units damaged
during transport are returned to the manufacturer for inspec-
tion and possible repair.
SF
is a fluorinated greenhouse gas covered by the Kyoto
6
Protocol and care must be taken not to cause emission of SF
and at end-of-life the greenhouse gas must be recovered.

The switchgear is gas-tight with an expected diffusion rate
of less than 0.1 % per annum. Referring to the reference-
pressure of 1.4 bar, the switchgear will maintain gas-tightness
and a gas-pressure better than 1.3 bar at 20
designed life span.

It is ABB's obligation to facilitate end-of-life recycling for our
products. In the EU and EEA, the F-Gas Regulation must be
followed. ABB's recycling service is according to IEC 61634
edition 1995 section 6: «End of life of SF
and in particular 6.5.2.a: «Low decomposition»: «No special
action is required; non-recoverable parts can be disposed of
normally according to local regulations.»
