Appendix A - Environmental
Information
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
The WEEE directive places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and
importers to take-back electronics products at the end of their useful life. A sister Directive, ROHS
(Restriction of Hazardous Substances) complements the WEEE Directive by banning the presence of
specific hazardous substances in the products at the design phase. The WEEE Directive covers all Multi-
Tech products imported into the EU as of August 13, 2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors,
retailers and importers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery from municipal collection points,
reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.
Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union
The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this product must
not be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of their waste
equipment by handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and
electronic equipment. The separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of
disposal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects
human health and the environment. For more information about where you can drop off your waste
equipment for recycling, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or
where you purchased the product.
REACH Statement
Registration of Substances:
After careful review of the legislation and specifically the definition of an “article” as defined in EC
Regulation 1907/2006, Title II, Chapter 1, Article 7.1(a)(b), it is our current view Multi-Tech Systems, Inc.
products would be considered as “articles”. In light of the definition in § 7.1(b) which requires
registration of an article only if it contains a regulated substance that “is intended to be released under
normal or reasonable foreseeable conditions of use,” our analysis is that Multi-Tech Systems, Inc.
products constitute nonregisterable articles for their intended and anticipated use.
