Electrical and electronic devices placed on the market within the European Union must be given a CE mark to indicate that the equipment complies with the applicable requirements (e.g. equipment safety or electromagnetic compatibility).

Disposal instructions
According to the EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, devices marked with this symbol must not be disposed of together with municipal waste (household waste). Please inform yourself, if necessary, contact your local disposal company or the municipal/city administration about the free disposal for you. It serves the environmental and health protection as well as the saving of (rare) raw materials by recycling.

Batteries must also not be disposed of together with general household waste. They must be collected separately and returned to a battery collection point. Throw empty batteries into the collection container free of charge, for example, those situated at the trade. Improperly disposed of batteries can harm human and animal health and/or the environment.
