EU Directive 2002/96/EC on WEEE (Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment) and RoHS
(Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances).
The European Union's Directive on Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in
electrical and electronic equipment (ROHS) defines each of 10 categories of electrical and
electronic equipment in Annex I . Category 9 is defined as follows:
9.
Monitoring and control instruments
Smoke detector
Heating regulators
Thermostats
Measuring, weighing, or adjusting appliances for household or as laboratory equipment
Other monitoring and control instruments used in industrial installations (e.g. in control
panels).
The RoHS Directive defines the scope of restrictions in Article 2 as follows:
"1. Without prejudice to Article 6, this Directive shall apply to electrical and electronic
equipment falling under the categories I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10 set out in Annex IA to Directive
No 2002/96/EC (WEEE) and to electric light bulbs, and luminaires in households."
This product is supplied as a Monitoring and Control instrument and as such falls within
category 9 of the EU directive 2002/96/EC and so is excluded from restrictions under the scope
of the RoHS Directive.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive is intended to reduce the amount of
harmful substances that are added to the environment by the inappropriate disposal of these
products through municipal waste.
Some of the materials contained in electrical and electronic products can damage the
environment and are potentially hazardous to human health; for this reason the products are
marked with the crossed out wheelie bin symbol which indicates that they must not be disposed
of via unsorted municipal waste.
Rhopoint Instruments Ltd have arranged a means for our customers to have products that have
reached the end of their useful life safely recycled. We encourage all end users to us at the end
of the product's life to return their purchase to as for recycling as per Article 9 of the WEEE
Directive.
