Companies that manufacture, sell or place electrical and electronic equipment on the European market must normally be registered in every country.
Germany: WEEE registration no.: DE 62194439
Additionally, companies must report the sales figures for waste electrical and electronic equipment to a national register: EWRN - European WEEE Registers Network: National Registers
Since 1 January 2023, companies in Germany must offer a take-back service for their own EEE for commercial (B2B) users. Equipment must be marked with the following icon:
SAMSON notifies users that WEEE must not be disposed with the general household or commercial waste. Their collection and disposal must be handled separately. If applicable, any mounted storage medium contained in them must be erased or removed prior to collection. This is symbolized by the crossed-out trash can.
Built-in data carriers must be removed in advance for reasons of EU data protection law. If this is not possible, the storage media must be deleted before collection or disposal.
SAMSON accepts no liability for company or personal data that may fall into the hands of third parties.
The European Directive on WEEE (2012/19/EU) is intended to prevent the creation of WEEE. It defines minimum standards for the environmentally friendly handling of EEE at the end of their life. The objective of the EU is to reduce environmental effects through re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery. SAMSON AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT who manufactures and sells EEE observes the requirements imposed by the WEEE Directive.
