Electronic equipment needs to bear the CE mark in order to be
marketed in the EU. CE marking shows that a product is assessed
before being placed on the market and that it meets EU safety,
health and environmental protection requirements.
The European directive 2012 / 19 / CE on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed in the normal
unsorted municipal waste stream.
Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise
recycling and reuse of the materials they contain and to mitigate
any consequences to the environment and public health.
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds

must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for
information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
