ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
7.1
RoHS
The TQMx50UC is manufactured RoHS compliant.
•
All components and assemblies are RoHS compliant
•
The 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 TQMx50UC 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 suppliers inform TQ-Systems GmbH accordingly.
7.4
EUP
The Ecodesign Directive, also Energy using Products (EuP), is applicable to products for the end user with an annual quantity
>200,000. The TQMx50UC must therefore always be seen in conjunction with the complete device.
The available standby and sleep modes of the components on the TQMx50UC enable compliance with EuP requirements for the
TQMx50UC.
7.5
Battery
No batteries are assembled on the TQMx50UC.
7.6
Packaging
By environmentally friendly processes, production equipment and products, we contribute to the protection of our
environment. To be able to reuse the TQMx50UC, it is produced in such a way (a modular construction) that it can be easily
repaired and disassembled. The energy consumption of this subassembly is minimised by suitable measures. The TQMx50UC is
delivered in reusable packaging.
7.7
Other Entries
The energy consumption of this subassembly is minimised by suitable measures.
Due to the fact that at the moment 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).
