Greetings, The scope of the RoHs and WEEE Directives states that the Directives apply to equipment specified in Annex 1A of the WEEE Directive. Annex 1B of the Directive gives specific products under the categories in Annex 1A. Category 8 is Medical Devices. Included in this category is "Laboratory equipment for in-vitro diagnostics". However, the category does not include "Laboratory Equipment". The Directive also states that "This Directive should cover all electrical equipment used by consumers and electrical and electronic equipment intended for professional use which might end up in the municipal waste system".
In your opinion, have they exclude "Laboratory Equipment" from these requirements? If so, why? Your responses are appreciated.
