3. 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.
4. EUROPEAN UNION DIRECTIVE ON WEEE AND RoHS
The European Union has issued two directives:
t %JSFDUJWF&$PO8BTUF&MFDUSJDBMBOE&MFDUSPOJD&RVJQNFOU 8&&&
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 refers to the
disposal of this cabinet within the EU. A “wheelie bin” sticker (shown alongside) has to be paste on
all products covered by this directive, indicating that at the time of disposing of the product, it should
not be grouped together with general unsorted municipal waste. Instead, distributors of electrical and electronic
equipment should 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 the WEEE directive is not applicable to its
disposal. You may, at the time of disposing this cabinet, still contact your local Esco distributor who can arrange for
collection and recycling of this cabinet for a reasonable fee.

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.
