7.2 ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
LIFE EXPECTANCY OF PRODUCT
The product is developed in compliance with the requirements
denoted by IEC 62271-200. The design incorporates a life
span under indoor service conditions exceeding 30 years.
The switchgear is gas-tight with an expected diffusion rate
of less than 0.1 % per annum. Referring to the reference-
pressure of 1.4 bar, the switchgear will maintain gas-tightness
and a gas-pressure better than 1.3 bar at 20
o
C throughout its
designed life span.
LIFECYCLE CONCEPT FOR TRANSPORT, INSTALLATION,
REPAIR , SERVICE AND DISPOSAL AT END OF LIFE
ABB is committed to the protection of the environment and
adhere to ISO 14001 standards. The unit contains no subs-
tances listed on the hazardous substances list.
The unit contains SF
6
with 0,4 bar overpressure in a main-
tenance free and sealed unit. The unit is a sealed pressure
system and restrictions for air transport exist. Units damaged
during transport are returned to the manufacturer for inspec-
tion and possible repair.
SF
6
is a fluorinated greenhouse gas covered by the Kyoto
Protocol and care must be taken not to cause emission of SF
6
and at end-of-life the greenhouse gas must be recovered.
RECYCLING CAPABILITY
**) All figures are collected from CCF 3-way unit with fuse canisters
It is ABB’s obligation to facilitate end-of-life recycling for our
products. In the EU and EEA, the F-Gas Regulation must be
followed. ABB’s recycling service is according to IEC 61634
edition 1995 section 6: «End of life of SF
6
filled equipment»
and in particular 6.5.2.a: «Low decomposition»: «No special
action is required; non-recoverable parts can be disposed of
normally according to local regulations.»
We also advise customer always to consult ABB’s website :
http://www.abb.com/sf6 .
ABB AS, Power Products Division’s manufacturing site in
Skien is equipped to recover SF
6
gas from discarded switch-
gears.
