WEEE
For manufacturers and importers of LED (rigidly manufactured in light products) registration with EAR will get notably cheaper.
The „Stiftung EAR“ (EAR Foundation) is drawing a clear line:
Since month and month the Committee of Environment of the EU, the EU commission and the member countries discussed
On June 5th 2012 the regional court of Aachen decided that – clearly aware of the view of the Hamburg judges ¬– LED must be registered within EAR. And therefore would have to be labeled with the obligatory crossed waste bin symbol (AZ: 41 O 8/12).
After a call from the Hamburg regional court dated April 13th, 2012, LED mustn’t be labeled with the obligatory crossed waste bin symbol. Reason: They wouldn’t underlie EAR.
