Better Than International Environmental Protection And Safety Standards
In 2021, all of Getac's products complied with international environmental regulations. As required by product environmental regulations adopted in the country of origin of the product, electronic products were certified by international safety standards, in compliance with regulations on product safety, radio frequency, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and other safety issues adopted in the country of origin (e.g., UL and FCC in the U.S., CE and RED in the EU, and BSMI in Taiwan). Our products or packages are labeled with information on safety regulations, energy conservation, and environmental communication certification. There were no violations of product labeling regulations.

For the needs of special industries, such as the pharmaceutical, chemical, and petroleum industries, some models are on the initiative certified for high-standard safety standards. For example, the EX-80 rugged tablet has passed the strict explosive environmental standard test and received the European standard ATEX & IECEx Zone 0/20 and UL913 Class I/II Division 1 Certification.

Energy-conservation And Electricity-saving Design
6-1Green product
 
As one of the world's leading manufacturers of rugged computers, the products produced by Getac Holdings Corporation are widely used by the government agencies of all countries and large international corporations. The Rugged Computing Solutions sold by Getac Holdings Corporation not only provide superior ruggedness but also equipped with high performing endurance and the energy-saving design conforms to the latest international energy saving design and specification requirements, such as Energy Star 8.0 and energy performance regulations enforced by the U.S. Energy Information Administration and the California Energy Commission., etc., and is verified according to the requirements of Energy Star through Design Quality Verification (DQA) Department, to ensure low energy consumption design specifications and allow users to save a large amount of unnecessary energy consumption.

The average power consumption of the twelve main models sold by Getac in 2021 is lower than the standard value of Energy Star by 7.88 KWh/yr. After multiplying this by the number of units sold in the year, it is estimated that the rugged computers sold by Getac in 2021 can at least save 677 metric tons of carbon dioxide emission equivalent. Demonstrate Getac's efforts and achievements in energy-saving design.
 

Reduce Electronic Waste
Getac's system products comply with the WEEE requirements. On each of our products, we not only mark the products are recyclable and provide instructions on how to dismantle the products.
