Take-Back and Treatment in the End-of-Life Case EN
This section is relevant only for customers in EC member states.
The present COMPRION product falls under the scope of the European directive 2002/
96/EC (WEEE) and therefore under the domestic law in your country, derived from that
directive. This gives you the option to return the equipment to the producer for environ‐
mentally sound treatment, recycling and disposal. In this case ‘producer‘ means either
COMPRION or your domestic importer, depending on from whom you bought the
equipment.
Following are the main consequences and measures in the end‐of‐life case:
■ The equipment may not be disposed with unsorted production waste or domestic
waste.
■ Due to the definitions in the WEEE the equipment is ‘pure B2B‘, i.e., it is designed
and delivered for exclusive and professional use by commercial companies. Don‘t
use the same take‐back or disposal procedures and systems (domestic take‐back
points for instance – depending on the regulations in your country), which you
would use, to dispose your consumer electronic equipment like standard PC, laundry
machines, video‐play, mobile phone and so on.
■ Instead, please contact your local COMPRION importer or COMPRION directly, to
get information on the take‐back‐procedure at the given time.
The WEEE symbol on the left is the official marking for equipment
under the WEEE scope and points out that disposal has to be done
separately due to the regulations for such equipment. In some EC
member states ‘pure B2B equipment‘ is not necessarily marked with
the waste bin symbol. To provide a homogeneous EC‐wide procedure,
COMPRION however uses the marking in all EC member states. In
case of marking is only necessary on consumer equipment in your
country, would you please be aware of this. The symbol does not
mean, that our products are kind of electronic consumer equipment. If the product was
put on the market after August 13, 2005 this will be indicated by a black bar (not shown)
below the WEEE symbol.
If you have a separate agreement with COMPRION or your domestic importer on the
end‐of‐life disposal in a way that you will care for disposal by your own, would you
please ensure an environmentally sound disposal according to the legal regulations for
electric and electronic waste equipment in your country.
