The symbol of a crossed waste bin found on equipment or its packing indicates that at the end of the product’s
useful life it must be collected separately from other waste so that it can be properly treated and recycled .
In par cular, separate collec on of this professional equipment when no longer in use is organised and
managed:
a. directly by the user when the equipment was placed on the market before 31 December 2010 and
the user personally decides to eliminate it without replacing it with new equivalent equipment
designed for the same use ;
b. by the manufacturer, that is to say the subject which was the
fi
rst to introduce and market new
equipment that replaces previous equipment, when the user decides to eliminate equipment
placed on the market before 31 December 2010 at the end of its useful life and replace it with an
equivalent product designed for the same use. In this la er case the user may ask the manufacturer
to collect the exis ng equipment;
c. by the manufacturer, that is to say the subject which was the
fi

2010 ;

, when such products are no longer in use the user shall

ff
ects

fi
c instruc ons: (see relevant chapter in
