Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Compliance
The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste from Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection, treatment, recovery, and recycling of electrical
and electronic waste products. The objective of the WEEE Directive is to assign the
responsibility for the disposal of associated hazardous waste to either the producers or users
of these products. As of August 13, 2005, producers or users are required to recycle
electrical and electronic equipment at end of its useful life, and may not dispose of the
equipment in landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some EU member states
may have different deadlines.)
In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or electronic devices in the
EU will affix labels indicating that such products must be properly recycled. Contact your
Sales representative for information on returning these products for recycling. Equipment
that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a WEEE-compliant emblem, as
shown in
