For correct disposal please refer to current standards.
INFORMATION FOR USERS OF PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT
From "Actuation of Directive 2012/19/EU regarding Waste Electrical and Elec-
tronic Equipment (WEEE)"
The symbol of a crossed waste bin found on equipment or its packing indicates that at the end of the
product’s useful life it must be collected separately from other waste so that it can be properly treated
and recycled.
In particular, separate collection of this professional equipment when no longer in use is organised and
managed:
a) directly by the user when the equipment was placed on the market before 31 December 2010 and the
user personally decides to eliminate it without replacing it with new equivalent equipment designed for
the same use;
b) by the manufacturer, that is to say the subject which was the first to introduce and market new equip-
ment that replaces previous equipment, when the user decides to eliminate equipment placed on the
market before 31 December 2010 at the end of its useful life and replace it with an equivalent product
designed for the same use. In this latter case the user may ask the manufacturer to collect the existing
equipment;
c) by the manufacturer, that is to say the subject which was the first to introduce and market new equip-
ment that replaces previous equipment, if it was placed on the market after 31 December 2010;
Suitable separate collection for the purpose of forwarding discarded equipment for recycling, treatment
or disposal in an environmentally friendly way helps to avoid possible negative effects on the
environment and human health and encourages re-use and/or recycling of the materials making up the
equipment.
The sanctions currently provided for by law shall apply to users who dispose of products in unauthorised
ways.
