Decision tree
Does not need to comply with the WEEE Regulations
If you have reached this point after following the decision tree, then your product is either exempt from, or outside the scope of the RoHS Regulations.
Please note that although we have made every effort to make this decision tree as accurate, clear and user friendly as possible, the advice given above is based on the best information available at the time. Such advice is not legally binding and may be open to amendment based on future developments of understanding.
If you have come to the conclusion your product is exempt or outside the scope of the RoHS Regulations, then we recommend that you document the justification for this view and keep it in case you need to explain your decision to an enforcement body under the RoHS Regulations. If you find you have difficulty clearly justifying your product's exemption then you may want to revisit the question of compliance.
It may be that part of the justification for the exemption of your product is its intended use. If the intended use changes, you need to assess whether the product is still outside the scope of the WEEE Regulations. It may be important to educate your sales staff to ensure that they understand the potential issues associated with the RoHS Regulations, markets, use and primary function.
