Section 3 Environmental aspects
3.1 Sustainable development
GUID-573C2931-CBB2-4E7D-A067-D8246CC7A52F v7
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.
