27、ions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage. Protection of the environment is a key political issue in Europe and elsewhere. Protection of the environment is taken in a very broad sense. W
28、hat is meant is the total life cycle aspects of, e.g. a product on the environment, including expenditure of energy and during all phases from mining of raw materials, fabrication, packaging, distribution, use, scrapping, recycling of materials, etc. It is recommended that companies using this Europ
29、ean Standard develop an environmental management policy. For guidance see ISO 14000 series. It has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced personnel. All pressures are gauge pressure.
