European Union WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive
Under the European Union WEEE Directive, applicable goods shipped after
13th August 2005 (marked with the crossed out wheelie bin symbol shown on
the right) must be disposed of in a manner which minimises the impact of
electrical and electronic goods on the environment, by increasing
re-use and recycling and reducing the amount of WEEE going to landfill.
Implementation of the Directive into law is the responsibility of each
individual Member State but in all cases, it is the responsibility of 'the
producer' of the goods to ensure the goods are disposed of in accordance
with these regulations at the end of their life. The producer is defined
as being either the manufacturer of the goods (if sold in the country of
manufacture) or the importer of the goods into the Member State in which
they are sold.
In the case of SIGNAL RECOVERY the position is as
follows:
Sales to end-users in the UK and Republic of Ireland
As we are the manufacturer or importer of the goods, we are also
responsible for their disposal. We have registered with the UK Environment
Agency and have been given a unique Producer Registration Number (Lloyd
Instruments Limited WEE/KJ0050TZ). When the time comes, disposal of
appropriate equipment will be via an approved not-for-profit organisation
called B2B Compliance (our membership number under this scheme is 7120313
and is in the name of Lloyd Instruments Ltd). The customer should contact
them directly to arrange for disposal at no cost to the customer. B2B
Compliance can be contacted directly by telephone on +44 (0) 1691 676 124.
Please note that our obligation is only for goods sold after August
13th 2005. We are only responsible for disposal of goods prior to that
date if we are replacing the goods like-for-like.
Sales direct to end-users in other European Union Member States
Since the responsibility lies with the importer of the goods into each
Member State, in this case it becomes the end-user's responsibility to
dispose of the goods according to the regulations of that Member State.
This applies irrespective of whether or not we have an
Agent/Representative operating on our behalf in the territory (but
Distributors are different - see below). Note that SIGNAL RECOVERY has
no obligation to dispose of these goods.
Sales made via our distributors in other European Union Member
States
Since the Distributor is the importer of the goods, the disposal of
the goods becomes their responsibility according to the regulations of
their own Member State. Note that SIGNAL RECOVERY has no
obligation to dispose of these goods.
