7.1
RoHS
The TQMa7x is manufactured RoHS compliant. All components, assemblies and soldering processes are RoHS compliant.
7.2
WEEE
®
The final distributor is responsible for compliance with the WEEE
®
regulation.
Within the scope of the technical possibilities, the TQMa7x was designed to be recyclable and easy to repair.
7.3
REACH
®
The EU-chemical regulation 1907/2006 (REACH
®
regulation) stands for registration, evaluation, certification and restriction of
substances SVHC (Substances of very high concern, e.g., carcinogen, mutagen and/or persistent, bio accumulative and toxic).
Within the scope of this juridical liability TQ-Systems GmbH meets the information duty within the supply chain with regard to
the SVHC substances, insofar as TQ-Systems GmbH is informed by suppliers accordingly.
7.4
EuP
The guideline 2005/32/EC (EuP) only applies for quantities >200,000 p/a. The consideration of environmental requirements with
the product design "creation appropriate for the environment" ("ecological design") with the aim to improve the environmental
compatibility of the product during its whole life cycle should be taken into consideration. The guideline appropriate for the
product (embedded PC) applies.
7.5
Battery
No batteries are assembled on the TQMa7x.
7.6

The TQMa7x is delivered in reusable packaging.
7.7
Other entries
By environmentally friendly processes, production equipment and products, we contribute to the protection of our
environment. To be able to reuse the TQMa7x, it is produced in such a way (a modular construction) that it can be easily repaired
and disassembled. The energy consumption of the TQMa7x is minimised by suitable measures.
Because currently there is still no technical equivalent alternative for printed circuit boards with bromine-containing flame
protection (FR-4 material), such printed circuit boards are still used. No use of PCB containing capacitors and transformers
(polychlorinated biphenyls).
