WEEE Notice
The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which
entered into force as European law on 14/02/2014 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 on the product or on
its box indicating collection for electrical and electronic equipment consists
of the crossed-out wheeled bin, as shown below.
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
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 conserve natural resources. Moreover, proper recycling of the
electronic and electrical waste equipment will ensure the safety of human
health and the environment. For more information about electronic and
electrical waste equipment disposal, recovery, and collection points, please
contact your local city center, household waste disposal service, shop from
where you purchased the
equipment, or manufacturer of the equipment.

REACH
REACH (Regulation No 1907/2006) addresses the production and use of chemical

more than 0.1% per weight in this product.
Note: On June 27, 2018, lead was added to the REACH candidate list. The
inclusion of lead in the REACH candidate list does not mean that lead-
containing materials pose an immediate risk or result in a restriction of the
permissibility of its use.
