Certificate
Use
The products in the Harmony XB4 Ø 22 range do not generate any
environmental pollution requiring special precautionary measures (noise,
emissions, etc.).
The dissipated power depends on the conditions under which the product
is implemented and used.
The power consumption of the XB4-BVB# referenced is 432 mW in
active mode.
This low consumption ensures that the environmental impact of
the product is negligible when it is in use.
End of life
At end of life, the products in the Harmony XB4 Ø 22 range can either
be shredded to facilitate the recovery of the various constituent materials.
The recycling potential is more than 91 %.
This percentage includes metals such as steel and zamak as well as
plastics such as polycarbonate.
In addition, the recovery potential of the product is greater than 99 %.
Environmental impacts
The EIME (Environmental Impact and Management Explorer) software,
version 1.6, and its database, version 5.4, were used for the Life Cycle
Assessment.
The analysis focused on the XB4-BVB#.
The environmental impacts were analysed for the Manufacturing (M)
phase, including the processing of raw materials, and for the Distribution
(D) phase.
The life cycle analysis showed that the Manufacturing phase (phase M)
has the greatest impact on most of the environmental indicators and the
environmental parameters of this phase were optimised at the design
stage.
