The bar underneath the wheeled bin is still required - it is used to indicate that the product was placed on the market after 13 August 2005.
WEEE recast Directive 2012/19/EU Article 14 'Information for users' clause 4 states, in part: "4. With a view to minimising the disposal of WEEE as unsorted municipal waste and to facilitating its separate collection, Member States shall ensure that producers appropriately mark - preferably in accordance with the European standard EN 50419 (1) - EEE placed on the market with the symbol shown in Annex IX. In exceptional cases, where this is necessary because of the size or the function of the product, the symbol shall be printed on the packaging, on the instructions for use and on the warranty of the EEE. In addition, Directive 2012/19/EU Article 15 'Information for treatment facilities' clause 2 states: 2. In order to enable the date upon which the EEE was placed on the market to be determined unequivocally, Member States shall ensure that a mark on the EEE specifies that the latter was placed on the market after 13 August 2005. Preferably, the European Standard EN 50419 shall be applied for this purpose. EN 50419:2005 states: 4.2 Design of the marking The additional marking referred to in 4.1 b) 2) shall consist of a solid bar, the height of which equals h and the width of which equals 1,2 a. The height (h) of the bar shall be the greater of 0,3 a or 1 mm. The bar shall only be used in conjunction with the crossed-out wheeled bin. The bar shall not contain any text or any kind of additional information. The dimensional relationship shown in Figure 1 shall be maintained. William T.

For annex IX, the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol is at the end of the annex, but the symbol uses bold lines. The later small thin horizontal line marking the end of the annex should not be confused as being a part of the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol.

In this particular instance it's for the WEEE symbol for an ITE product. I don't see a reference to the definition here. Anybody else?
