4.6 Waste disposal and conformity to the WEEE directive

The following information is supplied pursuant to the LEGISLATIVE
DECREE of 14 March 2014, no. 49, 'Implementation of the 2012/19/EU
Directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)',
concerning the reduction in the use of hazardous substances in
electrical and electronic equipment as well as waste disposal .
The crossed-out refuse bin symbol, printed on the device or its package,
indicates that at the end of its useful life the product must be collected
separately from other waste .
The separate collection of this device at the end of its useful life is organised
and managed by the manufacturer . The user who wants to dispose of this
equipment will therefore need to contact the manufacturer and follow the
system the latter has adopted to allow the separate collection of the device at
the end of its useful life . An appropriate separate collection, leading to the
decommissioned equipment's subsequent recycling, treatment and
environmentally compatible disposal, will contribute to avoid possible negative
effects on health and the environment, and promotes the re-use and/or
recycling of the materials contained in the device .
Illegal disposal of the product by the user will result in the application of
administrative sanctions pursuant to existing legislation .
Outside of the EU: follow local regulations for the disposal of medical and
electronic equipment, including batteries .
