12 Waste disposal and environmental protection
All electrical and electronic products must be disposed of
as hazardous waste. The correct disposal of old equip
ment prevents ecological damage and health hazards.
Statutory waste disposal mark
The electrical and electronic devices that bear this sym
bol are subject to the European waste electrical and elec
tronic equipment directive 2002/96/EC. The symbol indi
cates that, in accordance with national and local
environmental protection and material recovery and recy
cling 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 deter
mine what type of disposal or recycling is legally applica
ble in your country.
Packaging
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.
