Group, I read that the RoHS requirements were changing a bit and that the Technical Adaptation Committee for WEEE and RoHS Directives have published unofficial notes. Has anyone seen an official copy of the TAC WEEE unofficial notes?

Well that is not quite the whole picture as I understand - if you are a UK manufacturer and you sell through importers or distributors into other EU states then your importers are the "producers" and are liable for obligated product. If you are a UK manufacturer and have a presence (office) in another EU state who handle your sales in that state then ultimately you will be liable to register in that EU state. If you are outside the EU and sell into the EU through distributors/importers then they are the "producers" and thus liable. If you are outside the EU and sell direct by mail order/internet into EU states then no one as yet has come up with an answer - my guess is the consumer will become responsible but as such items will be small (MP3 players etc. rather than fridges, TV's etc) Joe consumer will just throw them out with the trash which won't be policed and so will go into landfill. (But will obviously be a small % of the items really targeted by WEEE.) When the UK legislation is published, then maybe some of this will be clarified :) Regards, Chris ____________ From: Leadfree [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nic Bowker Sent: 19 July 2005 09:40 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LF] WEEE question: Products selling to EM and not end user directly??? Which leads nicely onto a question I had and that I thought I had the answer to until I talked to the DTI.... The comment about "registering with each and every country" - I had presumed that If you were in the EU and sold to other EU countries you had to register with each EU country to which you sold, otherwise how would they work out your WEEE obligation. However, according to the man at the DTI and at one of the compliance schemes, this is not the case. If in the EU, when you register in your "home" country you simply tell them of all the countries you sell into. Quite how this works for "distance sellers" (i.e. o! utside the EU to start with) I don't know. Nor do I understand if you haven't registered (unless it's all being done by some giant central computer....Where are you HAL?!) how they work out your WEEE Obligation. Anyone care to comment?

Ken, It sounds very much like you are not the ones "placing the equipment on the market". The company you are selling to are the ones placing on the market and are therefor! e the importers/distributors and so become "the producer". The obligation is therefore theirs. Just my opinion.

All, If we sell EEE products to EM (Equipment Manufacturer), do we still has to register with each country and provide all sorts of sales and other data? Our product is for Networking and Telecommunication companies and we do not sell directly to the end users. If they need replacement part they have to buy it from EM. Any comments on WEEE implementation besides marking of the products.
