Certainly the multi-lingual approach is in line with explicit criteria other
directives and regulations such as RTTE, MD, REACH, CLP where communication to
an end user in a Member State is envisioned.
In WEEE Art 10.4 Member States appear to be given the possibility of laying
down criteria for how producers/distributors convey info to recipients. So
each MS implementation of WEEE might speak to this point separately rather
than it appearing in the directive to the MS (i.e. the base directive).

WEEE statements in user manuals?
All,
I've seen various implementations of WEEE statements in user manuals.
Some contain 20+ language translations of a short statement regarding how to
recycle your product, while others have just a passing mention in a single
language (I presume the entire manual is translated in this case but haven't
had the necessary time to research this).
I admit that it's entirely possible that I overlooked a requirement in the
directive, but can anyone provide insight into why certain companies feel that
it is necessary to include the 20+ translations in print?
This has puzzled me for a while and I am trying to resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance!
