WEEE Directive Compliance Statement
Background
The goal of the WEEE Directive is to encourage design of environment-friendly products that increase
reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery to reduce waste streams and applies to listed Electronic
and Electrical Equipment (EEE) and Koehler's equipment falls broadly into Appendix 1A; Section 9
Monitoring and Control Equipment: Measuring, weighing or adjusting appliances for household or as
laboratory equipment.
Any associated non-embedded equipment such as Lighting (Saybolt Color) and PCs/Printers also fall
under WEEE. If provided with an order these ancillary items must be WEEE compliant. For these and
other reasons (printer cartridges are regionalized) the equipment must be supplied through a third
party supplier in Europe.
The WEEE Directive applies to electrical and electronic equipment falling under the categories set out
in Annex IA provided that the equipment concerned is not part of another type of equipment that does
not fall within the scope of this Directive. Annex IB contains a list of products which fall under the
categories set out in Annex IA.
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2003:037:0024:0038:en:PDF
We do not qualify for any of the 10 exemption categories.
http://www.dpa-system.dk/en/WEEE/Products/Exemptions
Professional use
For equipment defined for ’professional use’ local authorities have no role to play. Producers and
importers are basically responsible for collection of WEEE recyclables from the professional user and
for subsequent management. A separate statement is given cataloging the items that require
separation from the equipment along with basic information on subsequent processing or recycling
prior to disposal of the equipment.
http://www.dpa-system.dk/en/WEEE/Products/Private-or-professional-use
Responsibility for Registration and Annual Reporting:
Koehler will not sell directly to end users in the EU and so has no responsibility to register within each
EU state and to make annual reports. Koehler declares that this responsibility is born by the importer
who is the first level of the distribution chain and is subject to producer responsibility. We will
communicate this in writing to our distributor/importers in the EU stating they are responsible to satisfy
WEEE registration and reporting requirements in the EU states where they conduct sales activities.
It is illegal to market electrical and electronic equipment covered by producer responsibility without
being registered.

Product Design
Koehler's designs allow for complete disassembly to a modular level which usually allows for standard
recycling. A qualified refrigeration system technician must be consulted when disassembling and de-
commissioning any equipment with refrigeration systems.
Koehler's scientific testing equipment is robustly designed to function over a long service life and are
typically repaired many times over the course of years rather than being replaced. We believe that re-
use and refurbishment is the very best form of re-cycling.
All batteries must be readily removable not soldered in place.
Recycling instructions
In the event that replacement becomes necessary, we will include instructions, particularized to each
instrument that informs the customer of their recycling responsibilities and giving them guidance in
doing this. All Koehler equipment has been placed on the market since 13th August 2005 and so
Koehler is defined as a "new WEEE producer". As such we must provide information on refurbishment,
treatment, and re-use.
Our instrument manual will include this compliance statement and indicate that any collection of
materials will be handled by their authorized distributor. In the event that the distributor is unreachable
or is no longer a distributor for Koehler Instrument, Co., other arrangements may be made including
accepting the materials directly.
Recycling is free of charge. Shipping is the responsibility of the end users. Whether shipping to a
distributor or to Koehler directly, safe, properly declared, and labeled packaging and shipping
expenses are the sole responsibility of the end user.
WEEE Marking
Since Koehler products are subject to the WEEE Directive we must display the WEEE symbol shown
above in accordance with European Standard EN 50419 on the equipment. It must be indelible, at
least 5mm in height, and clearly legible. If the equipment is too small the mark must be in the product
literature, guarantee certificate, or on the packaging. Rules on marking are established in section 49 of
the WEEE Order.

c/o RECYCLING
1595 Sycamore, Ave.

As a minimum the following substances, preparations and components have to be removed from any
separately collected WEEE:
- Mercury containing components, such as switches or backlighting lamps (compact fluorescent lamps,
CFL),
- Batteries
- Printed circuit boards if the surface of the printed circuit board is greater than 10 square centimeters
(about 4 sq in.),
- Toner cartridges, liquid and pasty, as well as color toner,
- Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) or hydrofluorocarbons (HFC),
hydrocarbons (HC)
- Liquid crystal displays (together with their casing where appropriate) of a surface greater than 100
square centimeters and all those back-lighted with gas discharge lamps,
- External electric cables
- Components containing refractory ceramic fibers as described in Commission Directive 97/69/EC of 5
December 1997 adapting to technical progress Council Directive 67/548/EEC relating to the
classification, packaging and labeling of dangerous substances (2),
- Electrolyte capacitors containing substances of concern (height > 25 mm, diameter > 25 mm or
proportionately similar volume)
2. The following components of WEEE that is separately collected have to be treated as indicated:
- Equipment containing gases that are ozone depleting or have a global warming potential (GWP)
above 15, such as those contained in foams and refrigeration circuits: the gases must be properly
extracted and properly treated. Ozone-depleting gases must be treated in accordance with Regulation
(EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 June 2000 on substances
that deplete the ozone layer (4).

K27190 Ramsbottom Carbon Residue
Operation and Instruction Manual
K271XX-Manual 2
1 Introduction
The Koehler Ramsbottom Carbon Residue
Tester and Data Acquisition Software is the
latest design for performing the ASTM D524 test
method and related test specifications. The
tester determines the ‘carbon residue’ left after
evaporation and pyrolysis of a sample oil in the
Ramsbottom furnace, providing an indication of
the deposit forming tendencies of fuels and
guidelines for the processing of refinery
products.
This manual provides important information
regarding safety, technical reference, installation
requirements, operating condition specifications,
user facility resource requirements, and
operating instructions for the Ramsbottom
Carbon Residue Tester and Data Acquisition
Software. This manual should also be used in
conjunction with applicable published laboratory
procedures. Information on these procedures is
given in section 1.2.
