Dictionary

Tear strength refers to the ability of a material to withstand an applied tensile force without tearing. It is a decisive parameter in the manufacturing industry, as it ensures the durability and reliability of products. In practice, tensile strength is measured for textiles, plastics and metals, for example, to ensure that the materials can withstand the intended loads. High tensile strength contributes to the durability and safety of components and is therefore essential for quality assurance and compliance with industry standards. By accurately determining tensile strength, manufacturers can select suitable materials and optimize their processing to achieve optimal product results.

ISO 9001 is an international certification awarded to companies that can demonstrate a good quality management system. They can therefore prove that they are able to implement complex processes to ensure consistently high product quality and a high level of customer satisfaction. This applies to the entire value chain, from development and production through to customer service. ISO 9001 is therefore an important proof of quality in relationships between companies and customers, and can also improve competitiveness and efficiency.

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is an EU directive that sets limits for various hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Substances covered by this directive include lead, mercury and cadmium. The aim of the directive is to restrict the use of these substances and thus reduce environmental and health risks. This makes production processes more environmentally friendly and resource-efficient. Compliance is mandatory for manufacturers, importers and retailers. It must also be proven through various tests in order to be able to sell the product in the EU.

A STEP file is a specific file format that is used in particular for transferring and saving 3D models and CAD data and is primarily used in industry and mechanical engineering. Technical data such as geometric and functional information can be exchanged without loss. STEP files are saved in the same format regardless of the CAD program and can therefore be easily transferred between design and manufacturing systems, thus promoting interoperability between these systems. The format is defined in the ISO 10303 standard.

The Blue Angel certification is a globally recognized environmental label that was introduced in Germany in 1978 and identifies products that are particularly environmentally friendly. Criteria for assessing the environmental friendliness of the product are, for example, resource conservation, energy efficiency and reduction of pollutants. The label is intended to help consumers find environmentally friendly products and thus make their purchasing decisions easier. Conversely, it is also an opportunity for companies to have their efforts with regard to the environment labeled and thus make the product more attractive.
