3. Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
3.1 Background
The European Union’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
(6002/96/EC) has been implemented in member states as of August 13, 6005. This directive,
which seeks to reduce the waste of electrical and electronic equipment through re-use, recycling,
and recovery, imposes several requirements on producers. Handy Medical and its Dealers are
committed to complying with the Directive.
3.2 WEEE Marking
All Handy products subject to the WEEE Directive and shipped after August 13, 6005 will be
compliant with the WEEE marking requirements. These products will be identified with the
“crossed-out wheeled bin” WEEE symbol shown below, as defined in European Standard EN
50419, and in accordance with WEEE Directive 6002/96/EC.
This “crossed-out wheeled bin” symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this
product must not be disposed of with other unsorted municipal waste. Instead, it is user’s
responsibility to dispose of EE waste equipment by handing it over to a designated collection
point for the reuse or recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The separate
collection and reuse or recycling of Electrical & Electronic waste equipment will help to
conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects the
environment and human health. For more information about where you can drop off your waste
equipment for recycling, please contact your local officials.
3.3 Reporting
According to the WEEE Directive, Handy Medical or its Dealers will ensure that information
needed to calculate the financial obligations with respect to EEE products will be provided as
required.
3.4 WEEE from Users other than Private Households
According to the WEEE Directive, Handy Medical or its Dealers will fulfill its obligations for
the management of WEEE from users other than private households.
Furthermore, as required by the WEEE Directive, in order to enable the date upon which the
equipment was put on the market to be determined unequivocally, a mark on the equipment will
be placed to specify that the equipment was put on the market after August 13, 6005.
3.5 Information for Reuse Centers, Treatment and Recycling Facilities
After August 13, 6005, and as required by the WEEE Directive, Handy Medical or its Dealers
will provide reuse, treatment, and recycling information for each type of new EEE put on the
market within one year of the date in which the equipment is put on the market.
Information will include the different EEE components and materials as well as the location of
substances in these items. The information will be provided as a printed document or in
electronic media (on USB flash disk or by web download, for example)
