S04: We are trying to move to more RoHS compliant practices, substituting lead containing solder for non-leaded solder. Source Reduction - We hired an environmental consultant firm to audit our environmental processes. With their help, we are reducing our waste and impact on the earth. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - We have improved and increassed our recycling efforts in metals used at this facility. |

Other Environmental Practices - Lead is processed at this facility in very limited soldering operations while repairing older equipment. Lead pulled from circuit solder joints during repairs is captured and recycled. Lead containing solder that expires is collected and recycled. This Lead is recycled at a third-party recycling facility.
Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - This facility maintains an Environmental Management System compliant to ISO14001, 2015 revision of this international standard for environmental management. A third-party independent audit of this facility's ISO14001 compliance is conducted annually. Certification has been granted by Bureau Veritas. Certificate available upon request. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Lead containing circuits being repaired at this facility is expected to decline 5%annually as older designs are replaced by new equipment designs that employ Lead-free solder in circuit solder joints Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Lead containing waste generated at this facility is primarily electronic "e-waste" consisting of circuit boards which may contain extremely small amount of Lead or Lead compounds in electronic components and a larger amount in solder joints. This Lead containing e-waste is sent to a recycling company, sorted and sent as necessary to other recycling facilities. |

W82: Lead containing circuits being repaired at this facility is expected to decline by 5% annually as older designs are replaced by new equipment designs that employ Lead-free solder in circuit solder joints. Source Reduction - European Union RoHS Directive restricts use of Lead in Electrical and Electronic Equipment which includes Lead in solder. Newer equipment designs employ Lead-free solder in circuit solder joints, thus driving use of Lead down yearly.

Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Very limited use of lead and lead-based products in our operations. Lead-free solder is used in all applications possible, lead only exists in components used to assemble our product and in limited solder joints that require lead for quality purposes. Reduction of this use has not occurred. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Waste generated at this facility is primarily "E-Waste" which may or may not contain lead or lead compounds, this waste is picked up by arecycling company, sorted and sent as necessary and appropriate to other facilities. Other waste that may contain lead is contained in our "liquidflammable waste" which is composed of wipes with isopropyl alcohol and component residues that may or may not contain lead. Past processeswhich resulted in lead waste generation (lead solder paste and waste from the process) have ceased.| |

W19: Much of our products and processes have become "Lead Free", and the primary generator of lead waste has been removed from our processes. W89: Our operations now consist of R&D, and Service. Waste generated from these activities is classified as "E-Waste". Manufacturing of our product no longer occurs at this location. |

Source Reduction - Increased production of "Lead Free" and RoHS equipment. Source Reduction - Business consolidation in 2011 may result in lower lead disposal in 2012 as many sub-assembly processes that involved lead soldering will not be performed in house any longer. Additionally a large portion of the lead disposed of in 2011 was the result of our decomissioning an old X-Ray machine and sending the lead casing to be recycled. |
2009 | Other Environmental Practices - Product development is progressing in the RoHs lead free Initiative. Manufacturing activities have increased with a relatively small increase in lead use. | ||
