WEEE Advisement Disposal and Acknowledgment
In 2002 the European Union introduced the Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The main aim
of the Directive is to ensure that WEEE is collected and treated separately. WEEE may contain hazardous substances that
should not end-up in the (human) environment and can have adverse effects on it if they do.
Furthermore, WEEE is a vast source of raw materials. With the ever rising worldwide demand for new equipment and the
ever decreasing volume of natural raw materials, letting this potential source go to waste is unacceptable.
If equipment is collected separately, the equipment can be recycled and up to 85 to 90% of the equipment can be re-used
as new material, saving the use of virgin raw materials and energy of producing these.
For above reasons, we expect end-users to dispose of the material in an environmentally friendly way. Electrical and
Electronic Equipment is labeled with the following "crossed-out wheeled bin" symbol indicating that the equipment should
be disposed of, by the end-user, separate from other types of waste.
The EU Directive and national legislation define various situations and financing options for doing so.
End-users should contact their sales representative/dealer/distributor and our company on disposal, collection and
recycling options and terms and conditions in your country.
Determining Manufacture Date
You can determine the week and year the device was manufactured by locating the serial number label on your device and
interpreting the first four numbers of the serial number.
Example Label:
The first two numbers on the label indicate the last two numbers of the calendar year, and the next two numbers indicate
the week of that year.
In this example, the first four numbers are
1113
, this stands for the year 2011 (
11
) and the 13th week of the year 2011
(
13
).
