Obligations checklist

Do I have to take account of WEEE compliance? - The checklist

Please go through the following checklist carefully. It tells you whether you are affected by the EU WEEE Directive and/or the Austrian waste electrical equipment ordinance.

Note that not every detail and exception is covered here - but contact us if you can answer at least one of the following statements with YES. Then you can find out with absolute certainty if you are affected, or not, by the existing ordinances and regulations  which apply to old electrical equipment or batteries.  

□ We have an office in Austria and supply electrical equipment and/or batteries to the consumer market in Austria (i.e. we import or manufature products). 

□ We have no office in Austria and sell electrical equipment online or by mail-order directly to end-users. 

□ We have no office in Austria and only sell through distributors - but we want to deal with WEEE compliance issues for ourselves.  

□ We supply electrical or electronic equipment solely to business customers in the Austrian market.
