WEEE & RoHS

Douglas Instruments manufactures electrical and electronic instruments for use in research laboratories. Our products are designed primarily for professional users.

RoHS – Restriction of Hazardous Substances

EU Directive 2011/65/EU, as amended, restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. In the UK, equivalent requirements are implemented through the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2012, as amended.

Monitoring and control instruments, including instruments intended for professional use, are generally covered by these regulations.

Douglas Instruments takes these requirements into account when selecting components and materials for its products. Certain equipment or applications may qualify for specific exclusions or exemptions under the regulations.

For information about the RoHS status of a particular instrument, please contact us.

WEEE – Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

EU Directive 2012/19/EU and the UK Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013, as amended, establish requirements for the collection, treatment and recycling of electrical and electronic equipment at the end of its useful life.

Douglas Instruments products are intended primarily for professional use and are generally classified as business-to-business (B2B) equipment.

Our electrical instruments carry the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. This indicates that they should not be disposed of with unsorted household waste but should be collected separately for appropriate treatment and recycling.

Arrangements for the collection and recycling of professional electrical equipment vary between countries.

If you need to dispose of a Douglas Instruments product, please contact us for advice on the arrangements applicable to your equipment and location.
