System approach
As the product of the range are designed in accordance with the RoHS
Directive (European Directive 2002/95/EC of 27 January 2003),
they can be incorporated without any restriction within an assembly or
an installation submitted to this Directive.
N.B.: please note that the environmental impacts of the product depend on the use and
installation conditions of the product.
Impacts values given above are only valid within the context specied and cannot be directly
used to draw up the environmental assessment of the installation.
Glossary
Raw Material Depletion (RMD) This indicator quanties the consumption of raw materials during the life
cycle of the product. It is expressed as the fraction of natural resources
that disappear each year, with respect to all the annual reserves of
the material.
Energy Depletion (ED) This indicator gives the quantity of energy consumed, whether it be from
fossil, hydroelectric, nuclear or other sources.
This indicator takes into account the energy from the material produced
during combustion. It is expressed in MJ.
Water Depletion (WD) This indicator calculates the volume of water consumed, including
drinking water and water from industrial sources. It is expressed in dm
3
.
Global Warming (GW) The global warming of the planet is the result of the increase in
the greenhouse effect due to the sunlight reected by the earth’s surface
being absorbed by certain gases known as "greenhouse-effect" gases.
The effect is quantied in gram equivalent of CO
2
.
Ozone Depletion (OD) This indicator denes the contribution to the phenomenon of
the disappearance of the stratospheric ozone layer due to the emission
of certain specic gases. The effect is expressed in gram equivalent
of CFC-11.
Photochemical Ozone Creation (POC) This indicator quanties the contribution to the "smog" phenomenon
(the photochemical oxidation of certain gases which generates ozone)
and is expressed in gram equivalent of ethylene (C
2
H
4
).
Air Acidication (AA) The acid substances present in the atmosphere are carried by rain.
A high level of acidity in the rain can cause damage to forests.
The contribution of acidication is calculated using the acidication
potentials of the substances concerned and is expressed in mode
equivalent of H
+
.
Hazardous Waste Production (HWP) This indicator calculates the quantity of specially treated waste created
during all the life cycle phases (manufacturing, distribution and utilization).
For example, special industrial waste in the manufacturing phase, waste
associated with the production of electrical power, etc.
It is expressed in kg.
