WEEE Directive Compliance Statement 

 
 

Background 

The  goal  of  the  WEEE  Directive  is  to  encourage  design  of  environment-friendly  products  that  increase  reuse, 
recycling  and  other  forms  of  recovery  to  reduce  waste  streams  and  applies  to  listed  Electronic  and  Electrical 
Equipment  (EEE)  and  Koehler's  equipment  falls  broadly  into  Appendix  1A;  Section  9  Monitoring  and  Control 
Equipment: Measuring, weighing or adjusting appliances for household or as laboratory equipment. 
 
Any associated non-embedded equipment such as Lighting (Saybolt Color) and PCs/Printers also fall under WEEE.  
If  provided  with  an  order  these  ancillary  items  must  be  WEEE  compliant.    For  these  and  other  reasons  (printer 
cartridges are regionalized) the equipment must be supplied through a third party supplier in Europe. 
 
The WEEE Directive applies to electrical and electronic equipment falling under the categories set out in Annex IA 
provided that the equipment concerned is not part of another type of equipment that does not fall within the scope 
of this Directive. Annex IB contains a list of products which fall under the categories set out in Annex IA.

We do not qualify for any of the 10 exemption categories.

Professional use 

For  equipment  defined  for  ’professional  use’  local  authorities  have  no  role  to  play.  Producers  and  importers  are 
basically  responsible  for  collection  of  WEEE  recyclables  from  the  professional  user  and  for  subsequent 
management.      A  separate  statement  is  given  cataloging  the  items  that  require  separation  from  the  equipment 
along with basic information on subsequent processing or recycling prior to disposal of the equipment.

Responsibility for Registration and Annual Reporting:   

Koehler will not sell directly to end users in the EU and so has no responsibility to register within each EU state and 
to make annual reports. Koehler declares that this responsibility is born by the importer who is the first level of the 
distribution  chain  and  is  subject  to  producer  responsibility.    We  will  communicate  this  in  writing  to  our 
distributor/importers in the EU stating they are responsible to satisfy WEEE registration and reporting requirements 
in the EU states where they conduct sales activities. 
 
It  is  illegal  to  market  electrical  and  electronic  equipment  covered  by  producer  responsibility  without  being 
registered. 
 
http://www.dpa-system.dk/en/WEEE/Producers/Whoissubjecttoproducerresponsibility 
 

Product Design 

Koehler's designs allow for complete disassembly to a modular level which usually allows for standard recycling.  A 
qualified  refrigeration  system  technician  must  be  consulted  when  disassembling  and  de-commissioning  any 
equipment with refrigeration systems. 
 
Koehler's  scientific  testing  equipment  is  robustly  designed  to  function  over  a  long  service  life  and  are  typically 
repaired  many  times  over  the  course  of  years  rather  than  being  replaced.    We  believe  that  re-use  and 
refurbishment is the very best form of re-cycling.   
 
All batteries must be readily removable not soldered in place. 

 
Recycling instructions 

In  the  event  that  replacement  becomes  necessary,  we  will  include  instructions,  particularized  to  each  instrument 
that  informs  the  customer  of  their  recycling  responsibilities  and  giving  them  guidance  in  doing  this.  All  Koehler 
equipment  has  been  placed  on  the  market  since  13th  August  2005  and  so  Koehler  is  defined  as  a  "new  WEEE 
producer". As such we must provide information on refurbishment, treatment, and re-use.
