Environmental impact
Instron
®
materials testing systems and their accessories are designed to produce no
adverse environmental impact during normal use as long as they are operated and
serviced in accordance with their operating instructions.
Normal care must be taken with service items such as greases and oils needed to
operate and maintain the equipment as indicated in their packaging and operating
instructions.
These systems comprise mechanical and electronic components that contain potentially
environmentally harmful chemicals, such as chromium, chromates, lead and
brominated fire retardants. Care must be taken at the end of the equipment's life to
ensure its disposal in accordance with local environmental regulations.
Because of the wide range of applications where our instruments are used, Instron has
no knowledge of the environmental impact of the customer's test pieces or specimens.
