3. Disassemble Instructions
The intent of this document is to provide guidance to recyclers on the presence of materials and
components at the product / family level, as required by the EU WEEE Directive 2012/10/EU. This
document should also help direct recyclers to proper methods for removing parts and general
product disassembly instructions.
This chapter consists of three subsections:
Recommended disassembly tools, disassembled flowchart, and step-by-step disassembly instructions to
direct recycler proper methods to treat.
