Safe use of Stainless Steel Consideration of health and safety issues is important when customers are processing or using stainless steel, and when scrap items are returned for re- cycling.
As stainless steel is inert and non-reactive when employed correctly, potential health and safety impacts are extremely limited. This explains why stainless steel is so widely used in medical appliances and for equipment and tools in the food processing industry. In addition to long-term experience with stainless steel in a wide variety of applications, the material has also been tested and reviewed for possible health effects
The Company only stocks and sells stainless steel 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.

범위 - RoHS 및 WEEE
폐전기전자제품 지침(WEEE), 흔히 WEEE라고 불림. 이는 전기 및 전자 장비 제조업체를 대상으로 하며 두 가지 주요 목표를 가지고 있습니다:
- 제조업체는 제품의 수명이 다한 후 재활용할 책임도 가지며, 제조업체가 달성해야 하는 목표가 있습니다.
- 전기전자제품 제조 공정에서 환경 유해 물질 사용을 근절하기 위함이다. 이를 위해 WEEE 지침은 유해물질 제한(RoHS) 지침을 참조한다.
The main objective of the R0HS directive is to eliminate the use of four metals and 2 flame retardants. For each of these substances a maximum concentration value of 0.1% by weight in electrical and electronic equipment is permissible:
- 리드
- 수성
- 카드븀
- 6가 크로뮴
- 폴리브롬화 디페닐
- 폴리브롬화 디페닐 에테르
In addition, there is an extra clause covering the exceptions which includes Lead, when used as an alloying element where the maximum concentration values are:
- 0.35% by weight in steels (including stainless steel)
- 0.40% by weight in aluminium
- 4.00% by weight in copper alloys
진술
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:
- 리드
- 카드븀
- 수성
- 6가 크로뮴
- Polybrominated Biphenyl (PBB)
- Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE)
are all below the maximum permissible levels stipulated in the European Directive 2002/95/EC (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), for all materials supplied by us.
이것에 대한 유일한 예외는 고객이 해당 등급을 다루는 영국, 유럽 또는 국제 표준에서 해당 물질 중 하나 이상의 수준이 RoHS 지침을 초과하도록 요구하는 등급의 재료를 주문하는 경우입니다. 이 경우 재료에는 표준 요구 사항에 따라 각 물질의 값이 포함됩니다.
