Minwa has Successfully Conformed to WEEE and RoHS Directives within the Timescales Set

About WEEE and RoHS Directives

The Directive of WEEE and RoHS regarding waste management and hazardous materials of electrical products have been currently launched by the EU (European Union). The two directives play a vital role in the manufacturing, design, and recycling of electrical products. They have been adapted into national laws and effective since 1st of July 2006.

WEEE (2002/96/EC), the directive of waste electrical and electronic equipment, is aimed at preventing electrical and electronic waste; and in addition, to encourage reuse, recycling and other recovery measures to reduce the disposal of waste. It specifically requires the equipment that fall under the directive be marked clearly with a symbol of a crossed out wheeled bin; and an additional solid bar/ date code according to EN 50419 to contribute information to assist in the recycling of products.

RoHS (2002/95/EC), the directive of restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, is aimed to substantially reduce or eliminate the use of Lead, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated Byphenyls, Polybrominated Dyphenyl and Cadmium in the production of electrical and electronic equipment so as to reduce WEEE. This Directive has been effective from 1st of July 2006.

Minwa has to keep abreast with the two directives.

Every product we make is completely compliant with the requirements of both RoHS and WEEE directives. There is no more non-RoHS product is being produced. Also all of them are marked with the crossed out wheeled bin on the back of the unit.

Minwa Electronics is fully committed to supporting both the RoHS & WEEE directives. As a forward- looking company, we keep ourselves in the front so as to stay abreast of all the latest market conditions and demands.
