WEEE Certification – Siemens IE
Ireland has implemented the European Union (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations 2014 (the "Regulations") to improve the collection, treatment and recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment ("WEEE").
Background
Siemens Limited, as a producer of electrical and electronic equipment, is committed to complying with its obligations under the Regulations and supporting the proper treatment of WEEE. In line with that commitment Siemens Limited will take back WEEE. Please contact us for details.
Registration Details
Siemens Limited is registered with the Producer Register (IE 00075 WB), WEEE Ireland (SIE100) and submit reports to the Environmental Protection Agency as required by the Regulations.
WEEE Marking
All Siemens products that are subject to the WEEE Directive are compliant with the WEEE requirements. Such products are marked with the "crossed out wheelie bin" WEEE symbol. Information on the wheelie bin can be found on europa.eu.
Information for Users
The presence of the above symbols on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product must not be disposed of with normal office or household waste. You should contact Siemens Limited via your usual Siemens point of contact and arrange for the collection of this WEEE for appropriate environmentally sound disposal.
You have a role to play in ensuring that WEEE is reused and recycled safely. So, if you choose not to return WEEE to Siemens then you should not dispose of it in your ordinary waste bin. You should ensure that the WEEE is collected separately and sent for proper treatment at a WEEELABEX accredited facility (or EN standard equivalent) to satisfy the requirements of the Regulations.
In accordance with Regulation 19 of the Regulations, where you send Siemens products for WEEE recycling directly, you have a legal requirement to provide to us Siemens, records and documentary evidence regarding the collection and treatment of the WEEE that has been arranged by you for the previous year. These records are required one week before 31st of January every year. These are required by Siemens to comply with the obligations (as a producer) to report every year to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Further information in relation to WEEE and the relevant requirements can be found on the Environmental Protection Agenc's website.
