6  Environmental Issues  
6.1  TANDBERG’s Environmental Policy 
  
•  TANDBERG’s Research and Development is continuously improving TANDBERG’s 
products towards less use of environmentally hazardous components and substances as 
well as to make the products easier to recycle. 
•  TANDBERG's products are Video Conferencing Solutions.  The idea of Video 
Conferencing is to reduce the need for expensive, time demanding and polluting 
transport of people.  Through people’s use of TANDBERG’s products, the environment 
will benefit from less use of polluting transport.  
•  TANDBERG’s wide use of the concepts of outsourcing makes the company itself a 
company with a low rate of emissions and effects on the environment. 
•  TANDBERG’s policy is to make sure our partners produce our products with minimal 
influence on the environment and to demand and audit their compatibility according to 
applicable agreements and laws (national and international).  
 
 
6.2  Environmental Considerations 
 
 
Like other electronic equipment, the TANDBERG Gateway contains components that may have 
a detrimental effect on the environment.
 
      
Printed-wiring boards made of plastic, with flame-retardants like Chloride or Bromide.
 
      
Component soldering that contains lead.
 
      
Smaller components containing substances with possible environmental effect. 
 
After the product’s end of life cycle, it should be returned to authorized waste handling and 
should be treated according to National and International Regulations for waste of electronic 
equipment.
