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 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 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
substances and their potential impacts on human health and the environment.
Article 33(1) of REACH Regulation requires suppliers to inform the recipients

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.
