The importer within the member state is responsible for WEEE or if it goes straight to an OEM or the end user then they will be responsible. BTW - what do you mean by WEEE compliant?
_____ From: emc-pstc@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG [mailto:emc-pstc@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG] On Behalf Of christine...@aol.com Sent: 01 September 2005 18:00 To: emc-p...@ieee.org Subject: WEEE Process for US Mfr's Hi All, We design telecom equipment in the US, it is manufactured by our CM's in China, and we sell it into Euorope through our internal sales force which does not have offices in Europe. Since our products are not sold to consumers, do we have to worry about setting up a recycling program to meet the WEEE directive? Currently, we are labeling our products with the Wheelie Bin and providing verbiage in our manual stating we are WEEE compliant. We believe that our end users/customers in Europe would be responsible for any Recycling process /program. Are we getting this right or do we need to contract with an EU authorized agent to setup a collection / recycling program for our equipment.
