Lenze products are subject in part to EU Direcve 2011/65/EU on the restricon of the use of certain

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

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).
