Appendix 199

WEEE Notice

The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),

which entered into force as European law on 13th February 2003,

resulted in a major change in the treatment of electrical equipment at

end-of-life.
The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of

WEEE, and in addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other

forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce disposal.

The WEEE logo (shown at the left) on the product or on its

box indicates that this product must not be disposed of or

dumped with your other household waste. You are liable to

dispose of all your electronic or electrical waste equipment by

relocating over to the specified collection point for recycling

of such hazardous waste. Isolated collection and proper

recovery of your electronic and electrical waste equipment at

the time of disposal will allow us to help conserving natural

resources. Moreover, proper recycling of the electronic and

electrical waste equipment will ensure safety of human health

and environment. For more information about electronic and

electrical waste equipment disposal, recovery, and collection

points, please contact your local city centre, household

waste disposal service, shop from where you purchased the

equipment, or manufacturer of the equipment.
