WASTE-ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (WEEE) DIRECTIVE

The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union have issued the Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment Directive. The purpose of the Directive is the prevention of waste of electrical and electronic
equipment, and to promote the re-use and recycling and other forms of recovery of such waste. As such the
Directive concerns producers, distributors and consumers.

The WEEE directive requires that both manufacturers and end users dispose of electrical and electronic
equipment and parts in an environmentally safe manner and that equipment and waste are re-used or recovered
for their materials or energy.

Electrical and electronic equipment and parts must not be disposed of with ordinary household refuse. All
electrical and electronic equipment and parts must be collected and disposed of separately. Products and
equipment that must be collected for re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery are marked with the pictogram
shown in above.

When disposing of electrical and electronic equipment by use of the collection systems available in your country,
you protect the environment, human health and contribute to the prudent and rational use of natural resources.
Collecting electrical and electronic equipment and waste prevents the potential contamination of nature with the
hazardous substances that may be present in electrical and electronic products and equipment.

Your Dealer/Distributor will assist and advise you of the correct way of disposal in your country.
