Our Quality management procedures are the same throughout different departments and recognized by numerous customers and organizations. The strict application of this functional organization and procedures has been recognized by an independent organization, the French Association for Quality Assurance (Association Française pour l’Assurance Qualité, or (AFAQ)). The RM6 design and production quality systems have been certified as being in conformity with the requirements of the ISO 9001: 2008 quality assurance model. Rigorous and systematic industrial checks During its manufacturing, RM6 undergoes systematic routine tests, the aim of which is to check quality and conformity: • tightness check • filling pressure check • opening and closing speed measurement • operating torque measurement • partial discharge check • dielectric check • conformity with drawings and diagrams. The quality control department records and signs the results obtained on the test certificate for each device. There is “zero” SF6 emission during the gas filling and tightness control process.

The Schneider Electric’s recycling procedure for SF6 based products is subject to rigorous management to allow each device to be traced through to its final destruction. As part of this, the RM6 range has been designed to be environmentally friendly, notably in terms of the product’s recycleability. The materials used, both conductors and insulators, are identified and easily separable. At the end of its life, RM6 can be processed, recycled and its materials recovered in conformity with the draft European regulations on the end-of-life of electronic and electrical products, and in particular without any gas being released to the atmosphere nor any polluting fluids being discharged.
