WEEE & RoHS
The WEEE and RoHS directives are European Laws which set production, collection, recycling and recovery targets for all types of electrical goods. The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive is the European Union directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment. The WEEE registration number of Lantech is 52768444. RoHS is the directive which restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacture of various types of electronic and electrical equipment. The top priority of these two directives is environmental protection for a better future.
DNV Maritime
DNV (Det Norske Viertas) Maritime Certification specifies the test criteria for all equipment used in ships, high speed and light water craft as well as off-shore oil platforms. The DNV Organization originated in Norway. Initially, DNV was to provide consulting services for managing the risk and quality control systems onboard ships. Today, DNV Maritime is recognized by 80 national maritime authorities in managing their risk for the “Tough” maritime environmental conditions. DNV maritime test directives are defined through the relevant EU-Directives, which include:
- 1.The Maritime Equipment Directive(MED)
- 2.The Electromagnetic Compatibility(EMC)
- 3.The Low Voltage Directive(LVD)
DNV Maritime is one of the most reliable certification for ships, on-shore, and off-shore applications.
UL Class I Division II (Group A, B, C, D)
UL Class I Division II is a certification for hazardous locations. Class I locations are areas where flammable gases may be present in sufficient quantities to produce explosive or flammable mixtures. Division 2 is an environment where flammable gases, vapors, liquids, combustible dusts or ignitable fibers and flyings are not likely to exist under normal operating conditions. Hazardous atmospheres are further defined by ''groups.'' These include:
- Group A: Atmospheres containing acetylene.
- Group B: Atmospheres containing hydrogen, gases or vapors of equivalent hazard such as manufactured gas.
- Group C: Atmospheres containing ethyl-ether vapors, ethylene, or cyclo-propane.
- Group D: Atmospheres containing gasoline, hexane, naptha, benzene, butane, propane, alcohol, acetone, benzol, lacquer solvent vapors, or natural gas.
