Dear Valued Customer,
We at Swissbit place great value on the environment and thus pay close attention to the diverse aspects of
manufacturing environmentally and health friendly products. The European Parliament and the Council of
the European Union have published two Directives defining a European standard for environmental
protection. This states that Solid State Drives must comply with both Directives in order for them to be sold
on the European market:
Swissbit would like to take this opportunity to inform our customers about the measures we have
implemented to adapt all our products to the European norms.
What is the WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC)?
The Directive covers the following points:
What are the key elements?
The WEEE Directive covers the following responsibilities on the part of producers:
Producers must draft a disposal or recovery scheme to dispose of EEE correctly.
Producers must be registered as producers in the country in which they distribute the goods.
They must also supply and publish information about the EEE categories.
Producers are obliged to finance the collection, treatment and disposal of WEEE.
Inclusion of WEEE logos on devices
In reference to the Directive, the WEEE logo must be printed directly on all devices that have sufficient
space. «In exceptional cases where this is necessary because of the size of the product, the symbol of the
WEEE Directive shall be printed on the packaging, on the instructions of use and on the warranty»
