WEEE2 (2012/19/EU) clause 15.2 says: "In order to enable the date upon which the EEE was placed on the market to be determined unequivocally, Member States shall ensure that a mark on the EEE specifies that the latter was placed on the market after 13 August 2005. Preferably, the European Standard EN 50419 shall be applied for this purpose."
So my understanding is that the black bar, or some other marking that achieves the same purpose, is still required.

Thanks I was just strolling through this part of WEEE2 (2012/19EU) last week. EN 50419 has the black-bar requirement and says it represents a product which entered the market after 13Aug2005. WEEE2 says "Member States shall ensure that producers appropriately mark - preferably in accordance with the European standard EN 50419 - EEE placed on the market with the symbol shown in Annex IX." (Article 14.4). The Annex IX illustration does not show a black bar. Therefore, I think the reference to EN 50419 is simply a reference to the dimensions and form of the wheeled bin, and there is no need, or even preference for, the black bar.

Thanks The WEEE symbol has (had) a black bar or date area to indicate that the product had been introduced after April in 2005, but I thought that the bar has now been removed. True/False?
