This device has been tested and complies with the following standards: 

EMC Directive 2014/30/EU 

EN 61326-1:2013 

 

ISO Certification 

 

Ocean Insight, the industry leader in miniature photonics, has been certified for ISO 9001:2015 certification applicable to the 
design and manufacture of electro-optical equipment. 

 

 

The WEEE symbol on the product indicates that the product must not be disposed of with normal household waste.  Instead, 
such marked waste equipment must be disposed of by arranging to return to a designated collection point for the recycling of 
waste electrical and electronic equipment.  Separating and recycling this waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to 
conserve natural resources and ensure that the equipment is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the 
environment
