8.3 Disposal
The microscope and its components must not be disposed of as domestic waste or through mu-
nicipal disposal companies. They must be disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations
(WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU). ZEISS has implemented a system for the return and recycling of de-
vices in member states of the European Union that ensures suitable reuse according to the EU Di-
rectives mentioned. The customer is responsible for decontamination.
Info
Detailed information on disposal and recycling is available from your ZEISS Sales & Service Part-
ner.
8.4 Decontamination
A decontamination statement must be submitted before returning any used objects to the ZEISS
location.
If reliable decontamination cannot be guaranteed, the hazard must be marked according to appli-
cable regulations. In general, a well-visible warning sign must be affixed to the article itself and to
the outside of the packaging, together with detailed information on the type of contamination.
