EPCOS AG
Environmental Protection
and Product Reliability
EPCOS is committed to contribute to
the protection of our living space
and the preservation of the environ-
ment even beyond the legal require-
ments. The policy of manufacturing
products which are as environmen-
tally friendly and safe as possible
applies both to our newly developed
and redesigned surge arresters. Our
operations planning activities cover
all aspects of product safety and
liability, which are documented in
detail in our process guidelines. The
reliability features described above
are checked continually within the
scope of components testing under
simulated conditions of use.
Securing product safety is a key
priority in the design, development,
manufacture and monitoring of our
products. Thus the use of hazardous
substances is specifically excluded in
the design and development stages.
As part of the field monitoring of
our products, all complaints are
systematically evaluated on the basis
of a standard eight-step procedure.
Any necessary corrective action
is then derived from this and its
effectiveness is monitored.
In order to allow our products to be
easily identified and traced in the
event of a complaint, we request our
customers to observe the directions
appended to every goods consign-
ment. This speeds up the qualified
evaluation of our customers’ obser-
vations and allows us to respond
within a short time.
Directions for use
Ensure appropriate handling
of components passed on for
subsequent industrial processing.
Operatives who suffer from
excessive sensitivity to metals must
wear light gloves when performing
manual placement operations.
Surge arresters subject to current
stress for longer periods of time
can reach high temperatures (fire
hazard).
If the contacts of the surge
arresters are defective, current
stress can lead to the formation of
sparks and loud noises (cracking).
Damaged arresters should not be
processed further.
Arresters whose failsafe mechanism
has been triggered should be
discarded.
Surge arresters should be disposed
of in the same way as industrial
waste resembling household
refuse. In individual cases, any
legal stipulations departing from
this rule must be observed.
