Engineering Excellence Drives Energy Efficiency

At CyberPower, we are committed to offer valued power protection products with not only quality but reliability. 
While concerning about the serious environmental impact, we strongly believe that “Engineering Excellence 
drives Energy Efficiency” hence lead to the launch of GreenPower UPS™ technology. 
Additionally, as recognizing the commitment in innovation, excellence, and efficiency extends throughout the organization, CyberPower has adopted Green practices and management certification throughout 
the business, including: adoption of Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS), compliance 
with Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) protocol, certification of ENERGY STARR, 
receiving ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems and IECQ QC 080000 HSPM Hazardous
 Substance Process Management Standards, a comprehensive lead-free solder reliability analysis,
 and ongoing “greening” of all packaging practices and materials to ensure the maximum contribution
to the environment. 

	ENERGY STAR, a joint program between government, businesses and individuals,  is nourished with the intention to promote environmental protection through energy-efficient products and practices, in this case, the product specification for UPS.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S Department of  Energy (DOE) has announced the finalizations of Version 1.0 ENERGY STAR  Specification for UPS and effected on August 1, 2012. According to ENERGY STAR,  ENERGY STAR certified UPS can cut energy losses by 30-55%. If all UPS sold in the  US in 2012 were ENERGY STAR qualified, this could prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to the emissions from more than 636,000 vehicles! CyberPower,  as one of the major stakeholders of this meaningful project, has been actively taking  part in the development process with positive feedback and contribution. By having all UPS products certified steps by steps, CyberPower UPS could be claimed as  ENERGY STAR certified for US and Canada market now and EU market as well in the near future!
	IECQ QC 080000 is a Hazardous Substance Process Management (HSPM)-based standard in response to the European Restrictions of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directives. With its comprehensive scope, QC 080000 is viewed as supplement to the ISO 9001 Quality  Management Systems (QMS) framework for the systematic management and control  of processes pursuant to Hazardous Substance Free (HSF) goals. Through IECQ accreditation, it satisfies regulators that the manufacturing processes are free of hazardous materials. With the certification from IECQ, CyberPower is proved to be both technical- and quality-compliant with HSF. We assure the global marketplace the processes in place  to properly manage CyberPower products for HSF through the compliance with laws and highest industry standards.
	ISO 14001 is an internationally-accepted standard which specifies requirements  for an Environmental Management System (EMS) to enable an organization to  develop and implement policies and guidelines which take into account all possible  legal requirements and information about significant environmental aspects. This certification is applicable to all kinds of organization with the intention to  establish, implement, maintain and improve an EMS to reduce the environmental  footprint and decrease the pollution and waste generated from it. With the certification of ISO 14001, CyberPower has integrated it with other management functions  throughout the business to assist in meeting further environmental and  economic goals.
	The RoHS(Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is in place to restrict the use of  certain hazardous substances, including Lead(Pb), Mercury(Hg), Cadmium(Cd), Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+),Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) in electrical and electronic equipment. To be complied with the RoHS Directives, CyberPower implements internal controls throughout the business,  including adopting qualified materials and components during design and manufacturing process, building up the audit process and quality management to  ensure its compliance of RoHS regulations. For easy identification, the RoHS compliant  logo has been placed on all CyberPower product packing indicates the full compliance to the RoHS Directive as well as the manufacturing of eco-friendly product.
	The European Union (EU) has developed the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive which imposes the responsibility on the manufacturers  regarding the disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment. To be compliant with  WEEE protocol, companies should establish an infrastructure for collecting waste electrical  and electronic equipment so that users from private households could have the possibility of returning at least free of charge. Also, the companies are obliged to utilize the collected waste in an eco-friendly manner, either by ecological disposal or through  reuse/refurbishment to reduce waste generation and its impact on the environment.  All CyberPower UPS products have been manufactured in compliance with WEEE Directive for years. For easy identification, the WEEE compliant logo is placed on all product packing to indicate the state of full compliance with the WEEE Directive as well as the manufacturing of eco-friendly product.
