Substance assessment
Products of this range are designed in conformity with the requirements of the RoHS directive (European Directive 2002/95/EC of 27 January
2003) and do not contain, or in the authorised proportions, lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium hexavalent, flame retardant
(polybromobiphenyles PBB, polybromodiphenylthers PBDE) as mentioned in the Directive.

The ION 8600 and 8650 Socket Meters are considered articles under the EU’s reach regulation (EC 1907/2006).
An analysis of the ION 8600 and 8650 Socket Meters concluded that they do not contain any substances of very high concern,
per the 12-december-2010 list, in concentrations over the allowed 1 %. As such, this product is not required to be registered.

Manufacturing
The ION 8600 and 8650 Socket Meter product range is manufactured at a Schneider Electric production site at which an ISO 14001 certified
environmental management system has been established.

Distribution
The weight and volume of the packaging has been reduced, in compliance with the European Union's packaging directive.
The ION 8650 Socket Meter packaging weight is 565 g. It consists of 378 g of corrugated cardboard, 177 g polyethylene, and 10 g of silica.
The weight of recycled materials used is 37 % of total packaging mass.
The product distribution flows have been optimised by setting up local distribution centres close to the market areas.
Use
The products of the ION 8600 and 8650 Socket Meter range do not generate environmental pollution requiring special precautionary measures
(noise, emissions, and so on) through their operation.

The dissipated power depends on the conditions under which the product is implemented and used.
The electrical power consumed by the ION 8600 and 8650 Socket Meter range is between 6 W and 15 W. It is 15 W in active mode and 6 W in
standby mode for the referenced ION 8650 Socket Meter.

End of life
At end of life, the products in the ION 8600 and 8650 Socket Meter ranges have been optimized to decrease the amount of waste and valorise
the components and materials of the product.

This product range contains capacitors, a battery and a display that should be separated from the stream of waste so as to optimize the end of
life treatment by a special treatment. The location of these components and the other recommendations are given in the End of Life Instruction
available for this product range.

The potential of recyclability of the products has been evaluated using the Codde “recyclability and recoverability calculation method”
(version V1, 20 Sep. 2008) and published by ADEME (French Agency for Environment and Energy Management).

According this method, the potential recyclability ratio is: 36 %.

As described in the recyclability calculation method, this ratio includes metals and plastics chosen for their proven industrial recycling processes,
but do not include materials which don’t have such proven treatment processes ( ie most type of plastics which are not recycled…).

Environmental impacts
The life cycle assessment has been achieved on the following life phases: Materials and Manufacturing (M), Distribution (D), Utilization (U).
Modelisation hypothesis and impact results:

ƒ The calculation has been done on the ION 8650 Socket Meter.
ƒ Product packaging is included.
ƒ Installation components: no special components included.
ƒ Scenario for the use phase: this product range is included in category 2: Energy consuming product
(assumed lifetime service is 15 years and power consumption is assumed to be 15 W at 50 % uptime.
ƒ The electrical power model used is Electricity (Europe).

The life cycle assessment has been achieved with the EIME software (Environmental Impact and Management Explorer), version 4.1,
and with its database, version 11.0.
The active phase is the life cycle phase which has the greatest impact on the majority of environmental indicators .
Impacts have been taken into account so as to optimize impacts at the design stage.
System approach
As the product of the range are designed in accordance with the RoHS Directive (European Directive 2002/95/EC of 27 January 2003), they can
be incorporated without any restriction within an assembly or an installation submitted to this Directive.

Glossary
Raw Material Depletion (RMD) This indicator quantifies the consumption of raw materials during the life cycle of the product.
It is expressed as the fraction of natural resources that disappear each year, with respect to
all the annual reserves of the material.
Energy Depletion (ED) This indicator gives the quantity of energy consumed, whether it be from fossil, hydroelectric,
nuclear or other sources.
This indicator takes into account the energy from the material produced during combustion. It
is expressed in MJ.
Water Depletion (WD) This indicator calculates the volume of water consumed, including drinking water and water
from industrial sources. It is expressed in dm3.

Global Warming (GW) The global warming of the planet is the result of the increase in the greenhouse effect due to
the sunlight reflected by the earth’s surface being absorbed by certain gases known as
"greenhouse-effect" gases. The effect is quantified in gram equivalent of CO2.

Ozone Depletion (OD) This indicator defines the contribution to the phenomenon of the disappearance of the
stratospheric ozone layer due to the emission of certain specific gases. The effect is
expressed in gram equivalent of CFC-11.
Air Toxicity (AT) This indicator represents the air toxicity in a human environment. It takes into account the
usually accepted concentrations for several gases in the air and the quantity of gas released
over the life cycle. The indication given corresponds to the air volume needed to dilute these
gases down to acceptable concentrations.
Photochemical Ozone Creation (POC) This indicator quantifies the contribution to the "smog" phenomenon (the photochemical
oxidation of certain gases which generates ozone) and is expressed in gram equivalent of
ethylene (C2H4).
Air Acidification (AA) The acid substances present in the atmosphere are carried by rain.
A high level of acidity in the rain can cause damage to forests.
The contribution of acidification is calculated using the acidification potentials of the
substances concerned and is expressed in mode equivalent of H+.
Water Toxicity (WT) This indicator represents the water toxicity. It takes into account the usually accepted
concentrations for several substances in water and the quantity of substances released over
the life cycle. The indication given corresponds to the water volume needed to dilute these
substances down to acceptable concentrations.

Hazardous Waste Production (HWP) This indicator calculates the quantity of specially treated waste created during all the life
cycle phases (manufacturing, distribution and utilization). For example, special industrial
waste in the manufacturing phase, waste associated with the production of electrical power,
etc.
It is expressed in kg.
