WEEE : Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
ComServe Network provides Europe wide end-to-end service solutions!
WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) represents the EU Directive
2002/96/EC of January 27, 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE).
"The purpose of this directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), and in addition, the reuse,
recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce the
disposal of waste."
Essentially this means, do not throw waste in a landfill - - reuse or recycle
100% of the electronic and electrical equipment. Furthermore, the directive
mandates manufacturers (known as 'producers' in the EU), will finance the reuse
and recycling, and meet specific targets for this reuse or recycling. The
directive also requires products be marked with the "crossed-out wheelie bin".
This mark is actually illustrated in the directive.
We distribute Electrical and Electronic Equipment which falls
within the scope of the WEEE Directive. Just about any product that uses
electrical power to operate - - whether plug-in or with batteries - - is covered
under this directive. The ComServe Network Groups inventory includes: computer
spare parts, ESD & test equipment,
soldering irons, heat guns, UPS, battery chargers, solder
pots, and other items which are handled according to the WEEE
directive.
RoHS : Restriction of use of certain Hazardous Substances
It is the policy of the ComServe Network Group to identify and offer products to the
customer as RoHS Compliant, RoHS Exempt, and/ or RoHS Not Applicable, only after
specific requirements have been met. ComServe Network defines the above terms as:
- "RoHS Compliant" per producer documentation. The manufacturer has
declared and documented compliance to EU Directive 2002/95/EC Restriction of
Hazardous Substanes (RoHS).
- "RoHS Exempt" per producer documetation. The manufacturer has
declared and documented an exemption from compliance to EU Directive
2002/95/EC Restriction of Hazardous Substanes (RoHS).
- "RoHS Not Applicable" as declared by ComServe Network or the manufacturer
after determinning the product doesn't fall within the scope of either the
RoHS or WEEE
directives.
The ComServe Network Group performs no testing of
new products and relies solely on the manufacturer
of the product for identification of RoHS Compliance. All repairs carried out
and the materials used will be in compliance of RoHS directives. ComServe
Network make no warranty,
certification, or declaration of compliance. All statements by the ComServe
Network Group concerning RoHS
compliance, are based on Manufacturer documentation. Any relevant evidence will
be filed with the Logistics Manager or the Material Control Group, and
maintained for at least 3 years from the date of receipt. Products will not be
advertised or offered as RoHS Complaint, RoHS Exempt and/or RoHS Not Applicable,
until sufficient evidence is received from the manufacturer, and any in stock or
on order inventory has been determined to be such. We will never mix stock.
