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.
