1.8 LD8 Notices
The following notices apply to the LD8:
1.8.1 Waste electrical and electronic equipment
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (hereinafter referred to as the “WEEE
directive”) places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers to take-
back electronics products at the end of their useful life. A sister directive, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous
Substances) complements the WEEE directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous
substances in the products at the design phase. The WEEE directive covers all VERIPOS products
imported into the EU as of August 13, 2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and
importers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery from municipal collection points, reuse, and
recycling of specified percentages per the requirements contained in the WEEE Directive.
Instructions for disposal of WEEE by users in the European Union
Products which have the undernoted symbol located on either the product itself or its packaging indicates
that the product must not be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to
dispose of the product by handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of WEEE. The
symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this product must not be
disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of their waste equipment by
handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic
equipment.
The separate collection and recycling of your WEEE at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural
resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For
more information about recycling centres, please contact the local city office, the household waste
disposal service or the product supplier.
