1. WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC
(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)
In August of 2005, the European Union (EU) implemented the EU WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC and later the
WEEE Recast Directive 2012/19/EU requiring Producers of electronic and electrical equipment (EEE) to
manage and finance the collection, reuse, recycling and to appropriately treat WEEE that the Producer
places on the EU market after August 13, 2005. The goal of this directive is to minimize the volume of
electrical and electronic waste disposal and to encourage re-use and recycling at the end of life.
EKO products are subject to the WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC. EKO Instruments has labeled its branded
electronic products with the WEEE Symbol (figure Trash bin) to alert our customers that products bearing this
label should not be disposed of in a landfill or with municipal or household waste in the EU.
If you have purchased EKO Instruments branded electrical or electronic products in the EU and are intending
to discard these products at the end of their useful life, please do not dispose of them with your other
household or municipal waste. Disposing of this product correctly will help save valuable resources and
prevent any potential negative effects on human health and the environment, which could otherwise arise
from inappropriate waste handling.
2. RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC
EKO Instruments has completed a comprehensive evaluation of its product range to ensure compliance with
RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC regarding maximum concentration values for substances.As a result all products
are manufactured using raw materials that do not contain any of the restricted substances referred to in the
RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC at concentration levels in excess of those permitted under the RoHS Directive
2002/95/EC, or up to levels allowed in excess of these concentrations by the Annex to the RoHS Directive
2002/95/EC.
