Mitsubishi Electric Scandinavia lanserar i eBVD

Who are you and what is your role at Mitsubishi Electric?

– My name is Svante Skarpås, and I work as Environment & Sustainability Manager at Mitsubishi Electric Scandinavia. I have a strong passion for the chemicals field and am driven by delivering high-quality documentation that makes it easy for our customers to choose the right products.

How will Mitsubishi Electric work with eBVD?

– Over the past year, we have worked intensively to find a way to share the contents of our products in an open and practical manner. After extensive discussions, we concluded that eBVD is the best portal for us — offering an appropriate level of transparency and enabling programmatic processing of data. It also creates opportunities to automate parts of the process toward assessment services, such as Byggvarubedömningen.

– A heat pump can contain up to 1,000 components. Each component consists of multiple materials, and each material may contain one or more chemical substances. Managing that type of data flow requires a platform capable of handling significant complexity — and in my view, eBVD has done an excellent job in this regard.

What role do you see eBVD having — or needing to have — in the digital management of environmental information?

– Sharing product information is not only a legal requirement; it is also an essential part of building trust. Several major stakeholders today demand more than what legislation requires, and we are pleased that we can now meet their expectations by launching an initial wave of products on eBVD.
