Materialsicherheit von Aluminium
Consideration of health and safety issues is important when customers are processing or using aluminium and aluminium alloys, and when scrap items are returned for recycling.
As aluminium and its alloys are inert and non-reactive when employed correctly, potential health and safety impacts are extremely limited. In addition to long-term experience with aluminium and its alloys in a wide variety of applications, the material has also been tested and reviewed for possible health effects.
The Company only stocks and sells aluminium and aluminium alloy grades that are standardised and proven to be safe for their recommended use. To ensure that all products sold by the company comply with the specified requirements, only suppliers whose production sites are certified in accordance with the ISO 9001 quality standard are used. In addition, the company’s sales and distribution Service Centres are also certified in accordance with this quality standard.

Scope – RoHS & WEEE
Die Richtlinie über Elektro- und Elektronikaltgeräte, allgemein als WEEE-Richtlinie bezeichnet. Diese richtet sich an Hersteller von Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten und verfolgt zwei Hauptziele:
- Hersteller werden auch für das Recycling von Produkten am Ende ihrer Lebensdauer verantwortlich sein, und es gibt Ziele, die die Hersteller erreichen müssen.
- Um den Einsatz von umweltsensiblen Stoffen bei der Herstellung von Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten zu eliminieren. Hierzu verweist die WEEE-Richtlinie auf die Richtlinie zur Beschränkung gefährlicher Stoffe (RoHS).
Das Hauptziel der RoHS-Richtlinie ist die Eliminierung der Verwendung von vier Metallen und 2 Flammschutzmitteln. Für jede dieser Substanzen ist eine maximale Konzentration von 0,1% nach Gewicht in Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten zulässig:
- Blei
- Cadmium
- Merkur
- Hexavalent chromium
- Polybromierte Diphenylether
- Polybromierte Diphenylether
Zusätzlich gibt es eine zusätzliche Klausel, die die Ausnahmen abdeckt und Blei einschließt, wenn es als Legierungselement verwendet wird, wobei die maximalen Konzentrationswerte lauten:
- 0.35% by weight in Steels (including Stainless Steel)
- 0.40% by weight in Aluminium
- 4.00% by weight in Copper alloys
Aussage
Our suppliers have confirmed that we do not have a problem in supplying material that fully conforms to the RoHS directive and as a Company we can thus make the following statement:
We can confirm that the levels of:
- Blei
- Cadmium
- Merkur
- Hexavalent Chromium Polybrominated
- Biphenyl (PBB) Polybrominated
- Diphenyl Ether (PBDE)
are all below the maximum permissible levels stipulated in Chinese standard GB/T 26572 “Requirements of concentration limits for certain restricted substances in electrical and electronic products” (China RoHS), for all materials supplied by us.
The only exception to this is where a customer orders a grade of material for which the applicable Chinese, British, European or International material standard requires the level of one or more of these substances to exceed the limits specified in GB/T 26572. In such cases, the material will contain a value of each such substance in line with the requirements of the relevant material standard.
