Hypertherm Safety and Compliance

eNVIRoNMeNtAL SteWARDSHIP
Introduction
The Hypertherm Environmental Specification requires RoHS, WEEE
and REACH substance information to be provided by Hypertherm’s
suppliers.
Product environmental compliance does not address the indoor
air quality or environmental release of fumes by the end user. Any
materials that are cut by the end user are not provided by Hypertherm
with the product. The end user is responsible for the materials being
cut as well as for safety and air quality in the workplace. The end user
must be aware of the potential health risks of the fumes released from
the materials being cut and comply with all local regulations.
National and local environmental
regulations
National and local environmental regulations shall take precedence
over any instructions contained in this manual.
The product shall be imported, installed, operated and disposed of
in accordance with all national and local environmental regulations
applicable to the installed site.
The European Environmental regulations are discussed later in
The
WEEE Directive
.
the RoHS directive
Hypertherm is committed to complying with all applicable laws and
regulations, including the European Union Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) Directive that restricts the use of hazardous
materials in electronics products. Hypertherm exceeds RoHS Directive
compliance obligations on a global basis.
Hypertherm continues to work toward the reduction of RoHS materials
in our products, which are subject to the RoHS Directive, except
where it is widely recognized that there is no feasible alternative.
Declarations of RoHS Conformity have been prepared for the current
CE versions of Powermax plasma cutting systems manufactured
by Hypertherm. There is also a “RoHS mark” on the Powermax CE
versions below the “CE Marking” on the data plate of CE versions
of Powermax series units shipped since 2006. Parts used in
CSA versions of Powermax and other products manufactured by
Hypertherm that are either out of scope or exempt from RoHS are
continuously being converted to RoHS compliance in anticipation of
future requirements.
Proper disposal of Hypertherm products
Hypertherm plasma cutting systems, like all electronic products, may
contain materials or components, such as printed circuit boards,
that cannot be discarded with ordinary waste. It is your responsibility
to dispose of any Hypertherm product or component part in an
environmentally acceptable manner according to national and local
codes.
• In the United States, check all federal, state, and local laws.
• In the European Union, check the EU directives, national, and local
laws. For more information, visit www.hypertherm.com/weee.
• In other countries, check national and local laws.
• Consult with legal or other compliance experts when appropriate.
the Weee directive
On January 27, 2003, the European Parliament and the Council of the
European Union authorized Directive 2002/96/EC or WEEE (Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment).
As required by the legislation, any Hypertherm product covered by the
directive and sold in the EU after August 13, 2005 is marked with the
WEEE symbol. This directive encourages and sets specific criteria for
the collection, handling, and recycling of EEE waste. Consumer and
business-to-business wastes are treated differently (all Hypertherm
products are considered business-to-business). Disposal instructions
for the CE versions of Powermax plasma systems can be found at
www.hypertherm.com/weee.
The URL is printed on the symbol-only warning label for each of
these CE version Powermax series units shipped since 2006. The
CSA versions of Powermax and other products manufactured by
Hypertherm are either out of scope or exempt from WEEE.
the ReACH regulation
The REACH regulation (1907/2006), in force since June 1, 2007,
has an impact on chemicals available to the European market. The
REACH regulation requirements for component manufacturers states
that the component shall not contain more than 0.1% by weight of the
Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).
Component manufacturers and other downstream users, such as
Hypertherm, are obligated to obtain assurances from its suppliers that
all chemicals used in or on Hypertherm products will have a European
Chemical Agency (ECHA) registration number. To provide chemical
information as required by the REACH regulation, Hypertherm requires
suppliers to provide REACH declarations and identify any known use
of REACH SVHC. Any use of SVHC in amounts exceeding 0.1% w/w
of the parts has been eliminated. The MSDS contains a full disclosure
of all substances in the chemical and can be used to verify REACH
SVHC compliance.
The lubricants, sealants, coolants, adhesives, solvents, coatings and
other preparations or mixtures used by Hypertherm in, on, for, or with
its shape cutting equipment are used in very small quantities (except
the coolant) and are commercially available with multiple sources that
can and will be replaced in the event of a supplier problem associated
with REACH Registration or REACH Authorization (SVHCs).
Proper handling and safe use of
chemicals
Chemical Regulations in the USA, Europe, and other locations
require that Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) be made available
for all chemicals. The list of chemicals is provided by Hypertherm.
