14 Disposal
In the event of disposal, the respective statutory regulations must be observed. Information on
the disposal of electrical and electronic devices within the European Community is listed below.
Within the European Community, disposal of electrically operated devices is specified by national
regulations which are based on the EU Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE).
According to this, all devices that have been delivered after 13thAugust 2005 in the business-to-
business area, in which this product is classified, may no longer be disposed of with municipal
waste or household waste. In order to document this, the devices are equipped with the disposal
label.
Due to the fact that the disposal regulations worldwide and also within the EU may differ from
country to country, the supplier of the device should be contacted directly if necessary.
In Germany, this labeling requirement applies as of 23rd March 2006. As of this date, the
manufacturer has to offer a reasonable possibility to return any devices which have been
delivered after 13th August 2005. The user is responsible for the proper disposal of all devices
which have been delivered before 13th August 2005.
