correct disposal of old equipment prevents ecological damage and health hazards.
Symbol:
Meaning: Statutory waste disposal mark
The electrical and electronic devices that bear this symbol are subject to the European
waste electrical and electronic equipment directive 2002/96/EC. The symbol indicates that,
in accordance with national and local environmental protection and material recovery and
recycling regulations, old devices that can no longer be used must be disposed of
separately and not with normal household garbage.
As waste disposal regulations may differ from country to country, we ask that you contact
your supplier to determine what type of disposal or recycling is legally applicable in your
country.
P ackaging
The original packaging of HBM devices is made from recyclable material and can be sent
for recycling. Store the packaging for at least the duration of the warranty. In the case of
complaints, the torque flange must be returned in the original packaging.
For ecological reasons, empty packaging should not be returned to us.
