IMPORTANT NOTE:
WEEE Statement
WEEE is a general set of requirements dictated in the EU Directive 2002/96/EC. This Directive
mandated that member EU countries enact regulations governing the Waste of Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The Directive, and its individual transpositions into specific country
laws and legislation, is aimed at the reduction of WEEE through reuse, recovery, and recycling of WEEE.
WatchGuard is working in partnership with our European Union (EU) distribution partners to ensure
that our products are in compliance with the WEEE statutes, and that the recovery of our product per
the specific EU country legislative requirements is seamless for our product's end users. If you have a
WatchGuard product that is at its end of life and needs to be disposed of, please contact WatchGuard

U.S. Customers: 877.232.3531 International Customers: +1.206.613.0456
WatchGuard is reasonably confident that our products do not contain any substances or hazardous
materials presently banned by any legislation, and do not present a risk due to hazardous materials.
WEEE recovery professionals should also note that these products do not have any materials that are
of particular high value in their individual form.
REACH
The new EU chemicals policy REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals)
came into effect on June 1, 2007. REACH is Europe's new chemicals legislation, which is applicable in all
27 EU Member States as well as the EFTA European Economic Area (EEA). REACH creates a new system
for gathering information, assessing risks to human health and the environment, and authorizing or
restricting the marketing and use of chemicals produced or supplied in the EEA. REACH has an impact
on EEA producers and importers of finished products and users of chemicals in the course of industrial or
professional activities.
WatchGuard supports the overall REACH objective of improving the protection of human health and
the environment and will meet all applicable REACH requirements. WatchGuard is strongly committed
to working with our customers and supply chain to define and implement the REACH requirements and
ensure a smooth transition to compliance.
One of the REACH requirements is that manufacturers and importers have the duty to register substances
they are producing or importing. In accordance with the regulations, the products of WatchGuard do not
need to be registered for the following reasons:
46
• WatchGuard does not import more than 1 metric ton per year of a substance as defined by REACH.
• WatchGuard products are non-chemical products that are not designed to release any substance under
normal and reasonably predictable application.
• Our products do not contain the listed substances at more than 0.1% by weight of the whole product/
part.
