Безопасность материалов из алюминия
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.

Сфера действия – RoHS и WEEE
Директива об отходах электрического и электронного оборудования, обычно называемая WEEE. Она направлена на производителей электрического и электронного оборудования и имеет две основные цели:
- Производители также будут нести ответственность за переработку продукции в конце срока ее службы, и существуют целевые показатели, которых производители должны достичь.
- Устранить использование экологически опасных веществ из производственного процесса электрического и электронного оборудования. Для этого директива WEEE ссылается на директиву об ограничении использования опасных веществ (RoHS).
Основная цель директивы RoHS — запретить использование четырех металлов и 2 антипиренов. Для каждого из этих веществ допустимая концентрация в электротехническом и электронном оборудовании составляет 0,1% по массе:
- Lead
- Cadmium
- Mercury
- Hexavalent Chromium
- Polybrominated Diphenyls
- Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers
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
Statement
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:
- Lead
- Cadmium
- Mercury
- 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.
