EN) ISO 14001 for many years. As part of our environmental policy and the associated climate
responsibility, please observe the following informaon on hazardous substances and the
recycling of Lenze products and their packaging:
Lenze products are subject in part to EU Direcve 2011/65/EU on the restricon of the use of
certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic devices (RoHS). This is documented
accordingly in the EU Declaraon of Conformity and with the CE mark.
Lenze products are not subject to EU Direcve 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE), but do somemes contain baeries/rechargeable baeries in accordance
with EU Direcve 2006/66/EC (Baery Direcve). The separate from domesc waste disposal
route is shown by the corresponding labeling with the “crossed-out garbage can”.
Any baeries/rechargeable baeries included are designed for the service life of the product
and do not have to be replaced or otherwise removed by the end user.
Lenze products are usually sold with cardboard or plasc packaging. This packaging corresponds
to EU Direcve 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste (Packaging Direcve). The required

REACH Lenze products are subject to the European Regulaon EC No. 1907/2006 (REACH chemical
regulaon). When used as intended, exposure of substances to humans, animals and the
environment is excluded.
Lenze products are industrial electrical and electronic products and are to be disposed of
professionally. Both the mechanical and electrical components, such as electric motors,
gearboxes, or inverters, contain valuable raw materials that can be recycled and reused.
Proper recycling and thus maintaining the highest possible reusable materials cycle is
therefore important and sensible from an economic and ecological point of view.
•
Always coordinate professional waste disposal with your local waste disposal company.
•
Separate mechanical and electrical components, packaging, hazardous waste (e.g. gearbox
oils), and baeries/rechargeable baeries wherever possible.
•
Dispose of the separated waste in an environmentally friendly and proper way (not with
household waste or municipal bulky waste).
