Effective August 2005
WEEE MARKING
You have to comply, we have the solution!
As from August 13th 2005, all electrical and electronic equipment put on the market in the EU has to be labelled to conform to the WEEE Directive (Waste in Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive 2002/96/EC.
EN 50419 defines the specifications of the marking requirements to comply with the directive. Brady had developed a label that meets this regulation.
These polyester labels, available in several sizes, have a very high resistance to chemicals, ultra-violet rays and extreme weather conditions. Once applied, they will stay in place and readable for the whole life cycle of the equipment.
The WEEE Directive aims to raise the level of recycling of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and encourages designers to create products with recycling in mind. The RoHS legislation (a complimentary legislation) supports this by reducing the amount of hazardous substances used in production.
