BS EN 50419:2006 Marking of electrical and electronic equipment in accordance with article 11(2) of Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE)
BS EN 50419 contains the marking requirements needed to ensure compliance with WEEE Directive. These marking requirements are applicable to all manufacturers and producers of electrical and electronic equipment distributed within the EU.
BS EN 50419 contains additional information relating to the marking requirements, including positioning, visibility, dimensions, location and referenced documents.
This standard will also be of interest to distributors, importers and exporters of electrical and electronic equipment on a professional basis into EU Member States.
The marking serves to clearly identify the producer of the equipment and that the equipment has been put on the market after 13 August 2005.
BS EN 50419:2006 supersedes BS EN 50419:2005 which has been withdrawn.
Following a review by the European Commission, changes have been introduced which means BS EN 50419:2005 has been replaced by BS EN 50419:2006 , which is now available. For full compliance with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive, it is important that you have the most up-to-date version.
The directive is a comprehensive and wide-ranging piece of legislation that many companies mistakenly believe is either not applicable to, or does not affect them. If you manufacture, brand, import, sell, store, treat or dismantle electrical or electronic products within the European Union (EU) the WEEE Directive affects you. The Directive came into force in the UK on 1 July 2007.
