Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Since February 2003, European Union legislation stating that EU members now
restrict the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electric equipment
(Directive 2002/95/EC) and promotes the collection and recycling of such
electrical equipment (Directive 2002/96/EC) has been in force.
Statutory waste disposal mark
The electrical and electronic devices that bear this symbol are
subject to the European waste electrical and electronic equipment
directive 2002/96/EC. The symbol indicates that the device must
not be disposed of as household garbage.
In accordance with national and local environmental protection and material
recovery and recycling regulations, old devices that can no longer be used must
be disposed of separately and not with normal household garbage. For more
information about waste disposal, please contact local authorities or the dealer
from whom the product was purchased. As waste disposal regulations may
differ from country to country within the EU, please contact the supplier about
waste disposal regulations if necessary.
Packaging
The original packaging of HBM devices is made from recyclable material and
can be sent for recycling. For ecological reasons, empty packaging should not
be returned to us.
Environmental protection
The product will comply with general hazardous substances limits
for at least 20 years, and will be ecologically safe to use during this
period, as well as recyclable. This is documented by the 20 years
symbol on the system as statutory mark of compliance with
emission limits in electronic equipment supplied to China.
