Disposal
12 Disposal
Your device, which is an electrical or electronic device, is subject to European Di-
rective 2012/19/EU (“WEEE directive“) which is implemented in Germany in na-
tional law through the decree regulating the use of dangerous substances in
electrical and electronic equipment (ElektroStoffV). This regulates disposal and
use of recycling waste electrical equipment. The adjacent icon with a crossed-out
wastebasket on your device states that it must not be disposed of in the house-
hold waste at the end of its service life.
As a private end-user (a so-called b2c customer) there are free collecting points
(recycling centre) near you for electrical equipment as well as possible also other
collection points available for reuse of devices. The addresses can be obtained
from your city or communal authority. In as far as the old electrical and electronic
equipment contains personal data, you are responsible yourself for its deletion
before giving it back.
Pure b2b devices (devices which, for appropriate use, or exclusively are only
used the commercial area) must not be disposed of over public collecting points
in Germany and further EU countries. Speak to your authorised ENDRESS gen-
erator dealer about handing back your recycling waste electrical equipment. The
dealer is also your point of contact for any differing regulations on the respective
country of deployment. There are also possible agreements in the purchase con-
tract to observe.
Please observe the pertinent environmental protection regulations when dispos-
ing of the old oil. We recommend bringing the oil in a closed container to an old
oil collection centre for disposal. Never put used engine oil in the domestic waste.
Storage or introduction of old oil into nature is associated with very high fines.
An inappropriately disposed of battery can greatly damage the environment.
Give back your old battery directly free of charge to your dealer when purchasing
a new one.
Always observe the valid local regulations and laws concerning correct disposal
of all old parts and operating materials. Please contact your ENDRESS service
partner for a replacement.
