6.3 Thorlabs “End of Life” policy (WEEE)
As required by the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) of
the European Community and the corresponding national laws, Thorlabs offers all
end users in the EC the possibility to return “end of life” units without incurring
disposal charges.
This offer is valid for Thorlabs electrical and electronic equipment

2005

19)
•

•

As the WEEE directive applies to self contained operational electrical and electronic
products, this “end of life” take back service does not refer to other Thorlabs
products, such as

pure OEM products, that means assemblies to be built into a unit by the user
(e. g. OEM laser driver cards)
•
components
•
mechanics and optics
•
left over parts of units disassembled by the user (PCB’s, housings etc.).
