European Union (EU) WEEE statement
EU Only
The WEEE mark applies only to countries within the European Union (EU) and Norway. Appliances are
labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE). The Directive determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances
as applicable throughout the European Union. This label is applied to various products to indicate that the
product is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE marking per Annex IV of the WEEE
Directive must not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework
available to them for the return, recycle, recovery of WEEE and minimize any potential effects of EEE on
the environment and human health due to the presence of hazardous substances. For additional WEEE
