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.
