Environmentally Friendly Products

The Yokogawa Group is promoting the development of environmentally friendly products based on design standards and assessment standards for long-term use, energy conservation, and other parameters.

• Guidelines for Environmentally Friendly Design

Yokogawa has established the design standards and assessment standards when developing environmentally friendly products that promote long-term use, energy conservation, and so on. The Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) standards are used for preliminary assessments of CO2 emissions, NOx emissions, and SOx emissions, throughout the product development.

October 2008, Yokogawa Electric Corporation released a new mid-range digital oscilloscope, the DLM2000 series mixed signal oscilloscope. DLM2000 series oscilloscopes inherit the basic concepts - compact, lightweight, and inexpensive - which are also the reputations of Yokogawa products, to meet the customer needs in the increasingly digitized mechatronics and electronics market

An evaluation for DLM2000 series product based on the Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) Standards concluded that this series of products reduce the CO2 emissions by 61.7%, NOx emissions by 62.1% and SOx emissions 61.8% comparing with the legacy models of similar products.
