Notice to European Union Customers:
European Union Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Directive 2002/96/EC
The European Parliament will enforce new Directives in 2006 concerning the
disposal of electrical and electronic equipment such as the Monitoring and
Control Instruments.
The regulations place responsibilities on the instruments supplier and the
purchaser/user.
One of the actions required by suppliers is to inform users of their obligations.
The present instrument has been assessed in accordance with the European
Parliament Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment,
usually referred to as the WEEE Directive.
The WEEE Directive requires that the instrument is disposed of at the end of its
useful life in an environmentally responsible manner. Parts and materials that can
be re-used and/or re-cycled have been identified in order that the use of new
resources and the amount of waste going for landfill can be minimised.
The WEEE Directive requires that if you are replacing the instrument with a new
equivalent product from the original supplier, then that supplier can collect the
old item without cost to yourself. It is emphasised that this no-cost return option
is only available when you purchase a new product of equivalent type that fulfils
the same function. Please inform your supplier of your wish to have the old
instrument collected when ordering the replacement.
If you wish to dispose of the instrument without replacing it then the appliance
must not be mixed with unsorted municipal waste. The crossed-out wheeled bin
symbol on the unit label or unit packaging, as shown in the table below, indicates
this requirement.
You must ensure that the instrument is disposed of at an authorised treatment
facility; details can be obtained from your local council.
Your rôle is critical and will help to ensure that the Earth's resources are
maintained and that as much re-usable and re-cyclable material as possible is
processed. It will also ensure that landfill volume requirements are kept at a
minimum and that hazardous materials are not buried thereby providing potential
future problems for the environment and human health.
Wheeled bin symbol and description
The symbol apply to all LaserPoint electronic products placed on
the European Market after August 13, 2005.
LaserPoint will affix the wheeled bin symbol with a bar to
appropriate products. The bar indicates that the product was placed
on the market after August 13, 2005.
The WEEE Directive comes into force in January 2006.
