The final goal of Weee's directives
- The primary goal of guidance is to prevent or reduce the harmful environmental effects arising from the creation and treatment of electrical and electronic equipment waste, as well as the use of resources.
- Weee is a guidance and not a list, and therefore it is implemented through distinguished local laws in each of the European Union countries. This leads to various compliance challenges linked to the commitment to Weee's directives.
Executive schedule
- August 13, 2012: The Information Force Entry
- February 14, 2014: The deadline for transportation: the same date specified in the guidance 2002/96/EC Domain: Certain to the date set in the directive 2002/96/EC + photovoltaic panels
- August 15, 2018: Comprehensive Domain: Guidance includes all electrical and electronic devices, with the exception of explicit excluded elements.
As of August 15, 2018, the direction range has been expanded to include all electrical and electronic devices, which must now be classified into six categories instead of the previous ten categories.
Electronic and electronic devices categories (EEE) according to the directives of Weee 2012/19/EU as of August 15, 2018.
Negative devices under the open range
Manufacturer
A number of European Union's directives use the term "manufacturer" to refer to a specific entity responsible for the introduction of the organized product to the market. The manufacturer is legally responsible for adhering to the directives of the European Union, and this responsibility cannot be delegated to others.
Delegate
The "accredited actor" is an exception to the commitment of compliance previously shown. When the manufacturer's website is outside the European Union's judicial jurisdiction, it is necessary to appoint a local representative to help fulfill the responsibility of the manufacturer and that there is a person under the national judicial state within the state.
While there may be differences between the various member states of the European Union, the main points are:
- Product registration by brand or product category (B2B or B2C).
- Upon completion of the registration, a unique registration number will be customized that must be included in commercial documents such as bills and delivery notes.
- Annual or monthly reports on the quantity sold.
- Recycling.
- Display the wheel trash with a cross mark (Weee Code).
Electronic and electronic equipment code (EEE)
The symbol that indicates the separate assembly of electrical and electronic equipment was clarified by a trash with wheel -wheel trash, as shown below. The symbol should be clear, readable and durable.
