END-OF-LIFE PRODUCT DISPOSAL
15 END-OF-LIFE PRODUCT DISPOSAL
A VM600-rack based monitoring system is an electrical/electronic product, therefore, it must
be disposed of in a acceptable manner at the end of its useful life. This is important in order
to reduce pollution and improve resource efficiency.
NOTE: For environmental and economic reasons, end-of-life electrical and electronic
equipment must be collected and treated separately from other waste: it must not
go into landfill (or tip, dump, rubbish dump, garbage dump or dumping ground).
In Europe (the European Union), end-of-life electrical/electronic products are classed as
waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), and are subject to the requirements of the
European Union (EU) directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment
(commonly referred to as the WEEE directive).
According to the WEEE regulations, all waste electrical and electronic equipment should be
collected separately and then treated and disposed of in accordance with the best available
and environmentally friendly techniques. This is because electronic waste (or e-waste) may
contain substances harmful to the environment and/or to human health. In addition, electronic
waste is also a valuable source of raw materials that can contribute to a circular economy.
The WEEE symbol (a “crossed-out wheeled bin”) is used on product labelling to indicate
equipment that must be properly treated and disposed of at the end of its life
(see Figure 15-1).
Although a number of non-EU countries have enacted WEEE regulations, different end-of-life
product disposal laws and regulations apply in other countries and regions of the world.
Accordingly, please consult your local authorities to obtain the information and guidance
relevant to your country and region.
NOTE: At the end of its useful life, electrical/electronic products must be disposed of in an
environmentally friendly manner.
In European Union Member States, the WEEE directive is applicable.
In other countries and regions of the world, different laws and regulations may be
applicable, so please consult your local authorities.
