Some additional information:

- The Pb Free symbol does not necessarily = RoHS compliance.

- I would suggest only adding the WEEE symbol if your products apply to the
WEEE Directive.  The WEEE symbol represents a visual sign that the product
is to be placed in a certain waste stream - when the product ends up in the
EU states/countries WEEE Waste stream, with your brand on the product, and
if you are not WEEE registered it is unclear/unknown at this time what the
ramifications of that would be.  Thus, the WEEE Symbol marking of products
represents an unknown risk potential.

- WEEE marking CENELEC EN50419 "Marking of electrical and electronic
equipment in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE)"
can not be purchased directly from CENELEC in the U.S., CENELEC contracts
the process out to IHS Global (Global Engineering Documents)
(http://global.ihs.com)
Direct Link to EN50419:

I hope this helps.

Then it makes perfect sense.

Sorry. That is exactly what I want, that my PCB cannot be thrown in the
garbage ( till the time comes when it is fully WEEE compliant ).

The symbol with the garbage can would seem to indicate just the
opposite, that you cannot throw it away because it has toxic materials.

Subject: [TN] WEEE symbol

Hi Technetters;

I am looking for a good example of a WEEE symbol to place onto my PCB's.


I can just place the letters "WEEE" in Silkscreen with a stroke thru it
but that would look a bit cheesy.

I want it symbolic. I believe what I saw was the pictoral garbage can
with a hand reaching to it, then a stroke across it.

Any refs to pics of one would be appreciated. I will then make a SS
symbol for it in my lib.

Thanks & Regards
TDK
