Appendix G
Product Disposal and
Recycling
International concern about environmental pollution resulting from
improper disposal of products and materials at the end of their useful
life has resulted in an increase in legislation to control the methods and
procedures used to handle waste electrical and electronic equipment.
While the regulatory status in some regions of the world has
progressed to the point where formal legislation is already in effect,
many other regions are in the process of creating similar legislation
or adopting that already in existence in other areas. The result in the
years ahead will be more stringent control over disposal of products
and recycling of their components once they are withdrawn from use.
Since regulations governing the disposal of your instrument and
accessories may vary depending upon your geographic location,
the following guidelines are provided to assist you in identifying the
options available to you once the decision has been made to replace or
dispose of this product:
• Contact the supplier who sold you the product. Whether this was
Advanced Instruments itself, or one of its authorized dealers, this
supplier should be knowledgeable about the national and local
regulations governing disposal and recycling of products in your
area. In some cases, this supplier may be legally obligated to
accept the product from you and arrange for proper disposal or
recycling with no further involvement on your part. Alternately, the
supplier can provide you with specific instructions for actions that
you can take to dispose of the product properly.
