Declaration Of Conformity - INSTEON 75790 Owner's Manual

Declaration of Conformity

In 2002, the European Union introduced the Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
The main aim of the Directive is to ensure that WEEE is collected and treated separately. WEEE may contain
hazardous substances that should not end-up in the (human) environment because it can have adverse effects
on it.Furthermore, WEEE is a vast source of raw materials. With the ever-rising worldwide demand for new
equipment and the ever-decreasing volume of raw materials in nature, letting this potential source of such
materials go to waste is unacceptable. If equipment is collected separately, the equipment can be recycled
and up to 85 to 90% of the equipment can be reused as new material, saving the use of virgin raw materials
and energy of producing these. Separate collection and treatment of WEEE will thus decrease CO2 emissions
as well. For the above reasons, Insteon expects end-users to dispose of the material in an environmentally
friendly way through separate collection and treatment. Electrical and Electronic Equipment is labeled with the
following 'crossed out wheeled bin' symbol indicating that the equipment should be disposed of, by the end-
user, separate from other types of waste. End-users should contact their dealer/distributor or our company on
disposal, collection and recycling options in their country.
