1.5 RoHS regulations
All electrical devices sold in the European market from the 1 July 2006 must fulfil the EU Directive 2002/95/EC,
and RoHS 2 directive 2011/65/EU, on the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) as well as the national laws derived from it. According to the definition in
Annex IB of the EU Directive 2012/19/EU WEEE, Heraeus Electro-Nite measuring instruments and analysis
devices belong to category 9 - monitoring and control instruments.
All Heraeus Electro-Nite instruments placed on the market after 1 July 2006 do not contain materials prohibited
according to the RoHS directive.
Affected parts and components are identified and adapted to the statutory requirements and other substances in
those parts and components are utilized where necessary. The quality and usability of our devices are not
affected.
The adaptations are usually not visible, although adapted primary housing parts can show different surface color.
1.6 WEEE regulations
Heraeus Electro-Nite devices are exclusively for commercial use and may not be transferred to private use.
Devices must be disposed of according to the national, statutory regulations for commercial electrical scrap. You
must also follow the EU Directive WEEE regulations and their national conversion. If in doubt, ask your national
importer or Heraeus Electro-Nite.
All old Heraeus Electro-Nite devices can be deposited at Heraeus Electro-Nite premises, free of charge and
using a certificated disposal company. The customer pays only for the carriage.
According to the EU Directive 2002/96/EC Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),
all electrical devices sold in the European market from the 13 August 2005 must be marked with
a special symbol. This symbol (crossed out waste disposal receptacle with thick black bar
underneath) indicates to the customer that the device must not be placed in household waste,
but must be either deposited at a collection place for commercial scrap or returned to the
manufacturer.
