"Quality is at the heart of the HMS offering. At the end of the day, it is the quality and functionality of our products that enable our business. We work according to the ISO 9001:2008 certified quality system which fits well with the process-oriented organization at HMS.

HMS has been audited by leading automation companies such as Motoman Robotics, Sony, Pilz and ABB. These successful audits cover everything from product quality, delivery performance, general partnership, reaction time, logistics and technical support.

We currently have an on-time delivery rate of 98 per cent. Field returns are less than 0,02%. These are good numbers, but we aim to improve.

Get in touch with us, and we'll tell you more about our work with quality."

HMS and the environment

RoHs and WEEE ComplianceAs a manufacturing company, HMS works to continually decrease the effect on the environment, both by making our own products as energy efficient as possible, but also by choosing environmentally smart ways of working.

How HMS products save energy

Our environmental policy:

  • Alternatives with a minimum of environmental influence shall be chosen at long term investments.
  • During product development it shall be verified that no environmentally controlled substances are part of the hardware. Alternatives with a minimum of environmental influence shall be chosen.
  • Reusable and recyclable packaging materials shall be chosen for freight.
  • An implemented management system as well as capability to supply environmental friendly products is appreciated at evaluation and selection of suppliers.
  • All staff in the company is responsible to take care of the waste in a non-polluting way.

RoHS and WEEE Compliance
The RoHS directive 2002/95/EC, as well as the WEEE directive 2002/96/EC, aim to decrease the risk for discharge of substances harmful to life and environment. Although HMS's products are not covered (industrial production equipment is excluded at the moment), our standard products are still RoHS compatible.

RoHS II (2011/65/EU)
The new RoHS directive, called RoHS II, will be in effect as of January 2, 2013. There are no new substances added in the updated directive which means that HMS products are still RoHS compatible, according to the new RoHS II directive.

RoHS logos will be removed from all Anybus gateway products (AB70xx, AB71xx, AB73xx, AB76xx, AB77xx, AB78xx, AB79xx and AB90xx), all Netbiter communication gateways and 1 SI CANopen products (020570, 021220 and 021290).
An updated RoHS directive states that from January 2013 no end product are allowed to have printed RoHS logos.

All HMS products are still RoHS compliant! You can download from our the RoHS Material declaration certificate.

Starting from October 15th 2012 HMS production will start their work with removing the RoHS logo from our products.

The RoHS directive covers EEEs (Electrical and Electronic Equipment), i.e. end products. Almost all categories of electronic products will be covered by RoHS II (electrical and electronic equipment not covered include military defense equipment, solar panels in systems as well as products for research and development).

HMS's Remote Management products will be covered by RoHS from July 2017 (category 9) and Gateway products (category 11) from July 2019.
