Environment Directives
Directives 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) regulate the management of waste from electrical and electronic consumer appliances and professional equipment. After careful study of the scope of Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE), FEM considers that the equipment produced by the manufacturers it represents is not covered by the directives.
