10.3 Disposal
In accordance with directives on the treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE),
and concerning the restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS), end-of-life products can be returned to
the manufacturer for decontamination and recycling.

returning products to our service centers (see chapter “Service solutions by Pfeiffer Vac-
uum”, page 51).
