Information for private households
The German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) sets out numerous requirements for handling electrical and electronic equipment. Our watches are classified as such equipment. We have therefore compiled the most important information for you here:
1. Separate collection of waste equipment
Electrical and electronic equipment that has become waste is referred to as waste equipment. Owners must not dispose of it with household waste. It must be taken to a dedicated collection and return system.
2. Batteries
Waste batteries may contain pollutants or heavy metals. Improper storage or disposal can harm the environment or your health. However, batteries also contain valuable raw materials such as zinc, iron and nickel. When batteries are returned, these materials can be recovered and reused.
3. Options for returning waste equipment and batteries
Owners of waste equipment or batteries from private households can take them to collection points operated by public waste management authorities or to return points established by manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of the ElektroG. You can also return them to us at any time. To do so, please contact our customer service: info@aviano.de
4. Meaning of the “crossed-out wheeled bin” symbol
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol regularly displayed on electrical and electronic equipment indicates that the equipment must be collected separately from normal household waste at the end of its useful life.
Certain batteries containing hazardous substances are additionally marked with the following symbols beneath the wheeled bin symbol:
Pb: Battery contains more than 0.004% lead by weight
Cd: Battery contains more than 0.002% cadmium by weight
Hg: Battery contains more than 0.0005% mercury by weight
5. Manufacturer registration number
As a manufacturer within the meaning of the ElektroG, we are registered with the responsible Stiftung Elektro-Altgeräte Register (Benno-Strauß-Str. 1, 90763 Fürth) under the following registration number: WEEE-Reg.-Nr. DE73672152
