Recycling instructions
In the event that replacement becomes necessary, we will include instructions, particularized to each instrument that informs the customer
of their recycling responsibilities and giving them guidance in doing this. All Koehler equipment has been placed on the market since 13th
August 2005 and so Koehler is defined as a "new WEEE producer". As such we must provide information on refurbishment, treatment,
and re-use.
Our instrument manual will include this compliance statement and indicate that any collection of materials will be handled by their
authorized distributor. In the event that the distributor is unreachable or is no longer a distributor for Koehler Instrument, Co., other
arrangements may be made including accepting the materials directly.
Recycling is free of charge. Shipping is the responsibility of the end users. Whether shipping to a distributor or to Koehler directly, safe,
properly declared, and labeled packaging and shipping expenses are the sole responsibility of the end user.
WEEE Marking
Since Koehler products are subject to the WEEE Directive we must display the WEEE symbol shown above in accordance with European
Standard EN 50419 on the equipment. It must be indelible, at least 5mm in height, and clearly legible. If the equipment is too small the
mark must be in the product literature, guarantee certificate, or on the packaging. Rules on marking are established in section 49 of the
WEEE Order.
