1.  In the European Union  

These symbols on the products, packaging and/or accompanying documents mean that 

used electrical and electronic equipment and batteries should not be mixed with general 

household waste. 

Used electrical/electronic equipment and batteries must be treated separately and in 

accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling of these 

products. 

By disposing of these products correctly you will help ensure that the waste undergoes the 

necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on 

the environment and human health which could otherwise arise due to inappropriate waste 

handling.

If a chemical symbol is added beneath the symbol shown above, in accordance with the Battery 

Directive, this indicates that a heavy metal (Hg = Mercury, Cd = Cadmium, Pb = Lead) is present in 

the battery at a concentration above an applicable threshold specified in the Battery Directive.
For more information about collection and recycling of used products, please contact your local 

authorities, your waste disposal service or the point of sale where you purchased the products.
2. In other countries outside the EU
These symbols are only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard used products, please 

contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal.
For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic equipment can be returned free of charge to the dealer, 

even when you don’t purchase a new product. Further collection facilities are listed on the home 

page of www.swico.ch or www.sens.ch.
