Product Environmental Information
Applicable in the European Union and other European countries with separate
collection systems.
The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (the WEEE Directive) stipulates that WEEE is now subject to
regulations designed to prevent the disposal of such waste and to encourage
design and treatment measures to minimize the amount of waste that is
placed into the waste stream. The objective of the WEEE Directive is to
preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment, protect human
health, and stimulate the practical use of natural resources. Specifically, the
WEEE Directive requires that producers of electrical and electronic equipment
be responsible for the collection, reuse, recycling and treatment of WEEE
which the Producer places on the EU market after August 13, 2005.
FARO Technologies, Inc., as a producer of electrical and electronic equipment
(EEE), has endeavored to meet these environmental responsibilities for
managing WEEE. In so doing, FARO is providing the following to inform its
customers about the WEEE collection process:
In order to avoid any potential dissemination of hazardous substances into the

below) in order to alert the end-user that it should be disposed of within the
proper waste management system. That system will recycle, reuse, and
dispose of materials from this product in an environmentally sound way.
The symbol represented below, and found on this FARO Technologies
product, indicates that this product meets the European Directive 2012/19/EU
on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. This symbol, only applicable in
European Union countries, indicates that when this product reaches the end of
its useful life it should not be disposed of with normal household or municipal
waste, but in an established waste stream for WEEE.
Each EU Member State country has established a system for the collection,
disposal, and recycling of WEEE. End-users in the EU should contact their
local waste administration system for collection instructions concerning this
product.
