Tandberg Data WEEE Compliance Program
Tandberg Data is an environmentally conscious company. As such, Tandberg Data is fully supportive of the EU Directives concerning Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Tandberg Data’s support of this important directive is detailed below.
WEEE Directives
There are two documents that contain the WEEE requirements. These are WEEE Directive 2002-96-EC, and WEEE Directive 2003-108-EC. Copies can be found on the following links:

Marking of new
The WEEE directives required that all new product brought into the EU Member States be marked with the “Wheelie Bin” recycling logo, prior to the WEEE implementation date of 13 August 2005.
As a part of our environmental commitment, Tandberg Data has labeled all new products with the “Wheelie Bin”, prior to the required date of 13 August 2005.
A picture of the “Wheelie Bin” recycling logo is shown below. This mark is located on the part number sticker on new Tandberg Data products.
In addition, the WEEE directive requires that a mark shall be put on the product to specify that the product was put on the market after the WEEE implementation date of 13 August 2005. Tandberg Data uses two different marking methods to specify that the product was put on the market after 13 August 2005:
There may be a date code on the label of the product, showing the manufacturing date;
Or, there may be a solid bar underneath the “Wheelie Bin”, to specify that the product was put on the market after 13 August 2005 (see picture below).

As a part of our Environmental Commitment, and in support of our Distribution Partners and OEM Partners, as well as supporting the requirements of the WEEE Directive, Tandberg Data will provide the necessary information for the reuse and treatment of WEEE as follows:
