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: http://global.ihs.com/doc_detail.cfm?currency_code=USD&customer_id=21254D2B4 B0A&shopping_cart_id=2825585B2A495048485B4D28260A&country_code=US&lang_code= ENGL&item_s_key=00458028&item_key_date=941029&input_doc_number=EN50419&input _doc_title= I hope this helps.

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 ).

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.
