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 IED.

Operational reliability and long life time have been assured 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.
3.2 Disposing of the IED
Definitions and regulations of hazardous materials are country-specific and change when the
knowledge of materials increases. The materials used in this product are typical for electric

All parts used in this product are recyclable. When disposing of an IED or its parts contact a
local waste handler who is authorized and specialized in disposing electronic waste. These
handlers can sort the material by using dedicated sorting processes and dispose of the
