Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Statement

WEEE Directive

The WEEE Directive places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and importers to take-

back electronics products at the end of their useful life. A sister directive, ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous

Substances) complements the WEEE Directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the

products at the design phase. The WEEE Directive covers all Multi-Tech products imported into the EU as of

August 13, 2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers are obliged to finance the costs of

recovery from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE

requirements.

Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union

The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this product must not be

disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of their waste equipment by

handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The

separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural

resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For more

information about where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local city

office, your household waste disposal service or where you purchased the product.

REACH Statement

Registration of Substances

After careful review of the legislation and specifically the definition of an “article” as defined in EC Regulation

1907/2006, Title II, Chapter 1, Article 7.1(a)(b), it is our current view Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products would be

considered as “articles”. In light of the definition in § 7.1(b) which requires registration of an article only if it

contains a regulated substance that “is intended to be released under normal or reasonably foreseeable

conditions of use,” Our analysis is that Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products constitute nonregisterable articles for

their intended and anticipated use.

Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)

Per the candidate list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) published October 28, 2008 we have reviewed

these substances and certify the Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products are compliant per the EU “REACH”

requirements of less than 0.1% (w/w) for each substance. If new SVHC candidates are published by the European

Chemicals Agency, and relevant substances have been confirmed, that exceeds greater than 0.1% (w/w), Multi-

Tech Systems, Inc. will provide updated compliance status.

Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. also declares it has been duly diligent in ensuring that the products supplied are

compliant through a formalized process which includes collection and validation of materials declarations and

selective materials analysis where appropriate. This data is controlled as part of a formal quality system and will

be made available upon request.
