LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The disposal and / or emission of substances used in connection with this cabinet may be governed by
various local regulations. Familiarization and compliance with any such regulation are the sole
responsibility of the users of the cabinet. Esco’s liability is limited with respect to user compliance with
such regulations.
European Union Directive on WEEE and RoHS
The European Union has recently issued two directives: Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Directive 2002/95/EC on Restriction on
the use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS).
WEEE:
The objective of the WEEE directive is to promote “….
the reuse, recycling and
other forms of recovery of such wastes (WEEE) so as to reduce the disposal of waste
besides improving the environmental performance of all operators involved in the life cycle
of electrical and electronic equipment, e.g. producers, distributors and consumers….
” and
hence this directive is relevant to the issue of disposal of this cabinet within the EU. As per this directive,
a “wheelie bin” sticker (shown alongside) has to be pasted on all products which come under the purview
of this directive, thereby indicating that at the time of disposing the particular product/equipment, it
should not be grouped together with general unsorted municipal waste. Instead the directive mandates
that distributors of electrical and electronic equipments be responsible for the collection and scrapping of
the products they have sold. Please note that this cabinet has been classified as "
fixed industrial
equipment”
and hence does
NOT
come under the purview of the WEEE directive. At the time of
disposing this cabinet, you can still contact your local Esco distributor who would arrange for collection
and recycling of this cabinet at a reasonable fee.
RoHS:
With respect to the directive on RoHS, please note that this cabinet falls under category 9
(monitoring and control instruments) and is therefore
EXEMPTED
from requirement to comply with the
provisions of this directive.
