THE 2002/96/EC DIRECTIVE (WEEE):
information to users
This informational note is meant only for owners
of equipment marked with the symbol shown in
Fig. A on the adhesive label featuring the tech-
nical specifications applied on the actual pro-
duct (the label also giving the serial number).
This symbol indicates that the product is classified, ac-
cording to the regulations in force, as an item of electrical
and electronic equipment and conforms to EU Directive
2002/96/EC (WEEE) meaning that, at the end of its service
life, it must be treated separately from domestic waste,
i.e. it must be handed in free of charge to a separate wa-
ste electrical and electronic equipment collection centre
or returned to the reseller when buying a new equivalent
item of equipment.
The user is responsible for delivering the unit at the end of
its life to the appropriate collection facilities. Failure to do
so shall result in the user being subject to the penalties
prescribed by the legislation in force on waste.
Suitable separated collection so that the unit no longer
used can be sent off for environmentally compatible recy-
cling, treatment and disposal helps avoid possible negati-
ve effects on the environment and on health and facilita-
tes the recycling of the product's component materials.
For more detailed information on available collection sy-
stems, contact the local waste disposal service or the
shop you purchased the unit from.
Producers and importers fulfil their responsibility for envi-
ronmentally compatible recycling, treatment and disposal
both directly and by joining a collective scheme.
