2a, 2b, 2c, 2d Assembled PCB: Step 1, 4, 5, 6 Information on Directive 2012/19/EU In order to support the recycling economy, SIEMENS creates transparency that goes beyond the regulatory requirements. See the table for additional information on smaller PCBs or displays, as well as metal alloys containing elements that may be critical at the end of the service life, such as beryllium or lead.
Received material fractions All results from this process must be managed, handled, and disposed of in accordance with applicable waste laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the Waste Framework Directive and its national legislation in Europe and worldwide. The following table contains the main material fractions, but is not exhaustive.
Reuse of dismantled components is not permissible. Siemens therefore assumes no liability for errors or consequences that may result from the use of this information to the greatest possible legal extent. Please note that the data in this recycler guide cannot be compared to data calculated based on product category rules (PCRs) other than the above standards.
