14 Disposal
Applicable statutory regulations must be heeded during disposal. Information about the
disposal of electrical and electronic machinery in the European Community is set out below.
The disposal of electrically operated equipment is governed within the European Community by
national regulations based on EU directive 2012/19/EU for waste electrical and electronic
equipment (the WEEE Directive).
According to this, no machinery delivered after 13
th
August 2005 in the B2B area (which applies
to this product) may be disposed of with the municipal or domestic waste. The machines have
a disposal label to indicate this.
Since the disposal regulations may differ from country to country throughout the world and
within the EU, you should contact the supplier of the machine directly where necessary.
In Germany this labelling duty has applied since 23rd March 2006. As from this date, the
manufacturer is required to provide a suitable option for returning any machines delivered as
from 13
th
August 2005. The end user is responsible for correctly disposing of machines
delivered before 13
th
August 2005.
