microelectronic GmbH to Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating systems with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their impact on the environment It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are known as ozone depleting substances ( ODSs) The Montreal Protocol ( 1987) and its London Amendments ( 1990) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs and forbid their use within the next ten years Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban on these substances TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH semiconductor division has been able to use its policy of continuous improvements to eliminate the use of ODSs listed in the following documents Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) in the USA Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C ( transitional substances ) respectively TEMIC can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting substances and not contain such substances We reserve the right to make changes to improve technical design and may so without further notice Parameters can vary in different applications All operating parameters must be validated for each customer application by the customer Should the buyer use TEMIC products for any unintended or unauthorized application, the buyer shall indemnify TEMIC against all claims,
