1.6.3 Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Compliance
The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection, treatment,
recovery, and recycling of electrical and electronic waste products. The objective of the WEEE Directive is to assign the responsibility for the
disposal of associated hazardous waste to either the producers or users of these products. Effective August 13, 2005, producers or users will be
required to recycle electrical and electronic equipment at end of its useful life, and may not dispose of the equipment in landfills or by using other
unapproved methods. (Some EU member states may have different deadlines.)
In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or electronic devices in the EU will affix labels indicating that such products must
be properly recycled. (See our

and

, for
more information on dates and deadlines for compliance.) Contact your local sales representative for information on returning these products for
recycling. Equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a WEEE-compliant emblem, as shown in
