Decommissioning an S530 test system
The S530 Parametric Test System does not contain any intentionally released substances, but may
contain substances that are potentially hazardous to the environment if not properly recycled.
For example, systems produced before July 22, 2017 and shipped into the European Union may
contain lead (Pb) as a part of the solder to connect electronic components and system interconnects.
A list of possible hazardous substances is in European Union Directive “Restricting the use of
hazardous substances in electri
cal and electronic equipment” (RoHS) Directive 2011/65/EU or later.
This list includes:
Lead (Pb)
Mercury (Hg)
Cadmium (Cd)
Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+)
Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)
Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP)
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)
For more detailed information, see the European Union Directive.
To minimize environmental impact at system end of life, treat the system, cables and connections,
and all subassemblies as waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) category 9. Reference
the European Union Directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE Directive
2012/19/EU or later).
Follow these directives to minimize environmental impact at any location in the world. Always follow
all local, state, and country environmental laws; these take priority over other directives.
Take all product and subassemblies to a reputable electronics recycle company for proper recycling.
Several approved recyclers are identified on the Tektronix website at
Any cleaning solutions used during the life of the system (such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA)) should be
disposed of separately and properly.
The S530 system may be used with other equipment such as automatic probers and third-party probe
card adapters. Tektronix is not in control of these products and the original equipment manufacturer
should always be contacted for proper recycling procedures.
