PART 3PRODUCER OBLIGATIONSFinancing: WEEE from private households111In each compliance period, the financing of the costs of the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE from private households, that—ais deposited at a designated collection facility; orbis returned under regulation 43, 50 or 52 but is not deposited at a designated collection facility;during that compliance period (“the relevant WEEE”) will be the responsibility of all producers or their authorised representatives, who placed EEE onto the market in the United Kingdom in the previous compliance period, excluding producers or their authorised representatives who have registered as small producers under regulation 16 in that compliance period.2Each producer or authorised representative to whom paragraph (1) applies will be responsible for financing the costs of the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of an amount of the relevant WEEE.3Where a producer or an authorised representative is responsible for financing an amount of WEEE under paragraph (2) the appropriate authority will calculate the amount of WEEE in tonnes to be collected by each producer or authorised representative in each category of EEE.4Where a producer or authorised representative has put no EEE onto the market falling within a particular category of EEE, that producer or authorised representative will not be given an amount of WEEE in tonnes to collect and finance within that category in the following year.5The amount of WEEE referred to in paragraph (2) will be calculated using information that has been provided to the appropriate authority by the producer or their authorised representative which indicates the amount of EEE which was placed onto the market in each category of EEE in the United Kingdom by that producer in the previous compliance period.6The amount of WEEE for which each producer or authorised representative will be responsible under paragraph (2) will be calculated in relation to each of the categories of EEE as follows—(A÷B)×Cwhere—“A” is the total amount in tonnes of EEE intended for use by private households and falling within one of the categories of EEE (“the relevant category”) that has been placed on the market in the United Kingdom by that producer or authorised representative in the previous compliance period, or part of the previous compliance period, (“the relevant compliance period”);“B” is the total amount in tonnes of EEE intended for use by private households and falling within the relevant category that has been placed on the market in the United Kingdom by all producers and authorised representatives in the same compliance period used in “A”; and“C” is the total amount in tonnes of WEEE from private households which is waste from electrical or electronic equipment that falls within the relevant category which the Secretary of State has determined under paragraph (7), to be the total amount in tonnes to be financed by producers and authorised representatives in that category in the compliance period that follows compliance period used in “A”.7For each compliance period, the Secretary of State must, after consultation with such persons or bodies as appear to him to be representative of the interests concerned—aset the amount in tonnes of WEEE falling within each category of EEE, that is to be financed by all producers to whom paragraph (1) applies who have placed EEE onto the market in the same compliance period used in A; andbdetermine whether it is appropriate to deduct any of the following—ian estimate of non-obligated WEEE,iian estimate of WEEE arising, that has been properly treated in compliance with the requirements of the Directive outside the system for the financing of the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE,iiian estimate of WEEE arising that will be retained under regulation 53;from the amount in tonnes of WEEE to be collected in the United Kingdom in each compliance period.8Where regulation 14(10)(a) applies to a producer—ait will be the duty of the appropriate authority to determine the amount of relevant WEEE for which that producer or the authorised representative will be responsible under paragraph (2) by using the calculation set out in paragraph (6); andbthe appropriate authority must serve a notification in writing on that producer or the authorised representative specifying the amount in tonnes of WEEE for which he will be responsible under this regulation within 28 days of the date of the notification informing the producer or authorised representative that approval has been withdrawn from the scheme of which they are a member in accordance with regulation 58(3).9The amount in tonnes of WEEE for which a producer is responsible in the relevant compliance period is the aggregate of their obligations in each category of EEE in that compliance period. Where a producer places no EEE onto the market which falls within a particular category of EEE in the previous compliance period they will have no obligation in respect of that category in the relevant compliance period.10A notification served under paragraph (8)(b) must include the following information—athe relevant compliance period;bthe amount in tonnes of the relevant WEEE, by reference to the categories of EEE, for which the appropriate authority has determined under paragraph (8) that that producer or the authorised representative will be responsible under paragraph (2);can explanation of how the amount of the relevant WEEE referred to in sub-paragraph (b) has been determined using the calculation set out in paragraph (6).11For the purpose of determining the amount of relevant WEEE for which a producer or an authorised representative is responsible under paragraph (2) using the calculation set out in paragraph (6)—athe appropriate authority must take account of the information provided to it—iduring the transitional period, in compliance with regulations 35 and 37 in relation to the previous compliance period; oriifrom 1st January 2019, in compliance with regulations 36 and 38 in relation to the previous compliance period; andiiiwhere applicable, by that producer or that authorised representative in compliance with a notification served under regulation 58(3);bwhere any of the information referred to in sub-paragraph (a) has not been provided to it for any reason, the appropriate authority will make a reasonable estimate of what such information would have been had it been provided as required.12Where paragraph (11)(b) applies, the appropriate authority must take account of any relevant information that is available to it in making a reasonable estimate.13In this regulation—aduring the transitional period, “categories of EEE” means—ithe categories of EEE listed in Schedule 1 (excluding display equipment, appliances containing refrigerants, gas discharge lamps, LED light sources and photovoltaic panels),iidisplay equipment,iiiappliances containing refrigerants,ivgas discharge lamps and LED light sources; andvphotovoltaic panels;bfrom 1st January 2019, “categories of EEE” means—ithe categories of EEE listed in Schedule 3 (excluding display equipment, appliances containing refrigerants, gas discharge lamps, LED light sources and photovoltaic panels),iidisplay equipment,iiiappliances containing refrigerants,ivgas discharge lamps and LED light sources; andvphotovoltaic panels.Financing: WEEE from users other than private households 12 1 Each producer or authorised representative will finance the costs of collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of— a WEEE from users other than private households arising during a compliance period from EEE placed on the market in the United Kingdom on or after 13 August 2005 (“the relevant WEEE”) by that producer or authorised representative; and b WEEE from users other than private households arising during a compliance period from EEE placed on the market in the United Kingdom before 13 August 2005 where that producer or authorised representative is supplying new EEE that— i is intended to replace the relevant WEEE, and ii is of an equivalent type or is fulfilling the same function as the relevant WEEE. 2 Nothing in paragraph (1) will prevent a producer from concluding an agreement with users other than private households to make alternative arrangements between themselves to finance the costs of the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE.

andbthat such WEEE is—irecovered or recycled by a reprocessor, oriiexported by an approved exporter for recovery or recycling outside the United Kingdom.2Paragraph 1(b) will not apply to WEEE reused as a whole appliance.Payment of a compliance fee331Where a scheme has not financed the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of the total amount of WEEE in each of the WEEE categories for which its members are responsible under regulation 11, through—acollecting WEEE from designated collection facilities; orbcollecting WEEE that has been returned under regulation 43 or 52 but is not deposited at a designated collection facility; orcarrangements with third parties; ordcollecting WEEE under regulation 50; orea combination of (a), (b), (c) and (d);the operator of that scheme may choose to finance the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of the amount of WEEE in tonnes which is equal to the amount in tonnes of WEEE which that scheme has not collected within the compliance period by paying a compliance fee.2The amount of WEEE for which any scheme that chooses to pay the compliance fee under paragraph (1) will be responsible, will be calculated in relation to each of the categories of EEE as follows—(A÷B)×C−Dwhere—“A” is the total amount in tonnes of EEE intended for use by private households and falling within one of the categories of EEE (“the relevant category”) that has been placed on the market in the United Kingdom by all of the members of a particular scheme in the previous compliance period, or part of the previous compliance period (“the relevant compliance period”) during which their membership of that scheme subsists;“B” is the total amount in tonnes of EEE intended for use by private households and falling within the relevant category that has been placed on the market in the United Kingdom by all producers and authorised representatives in the same compliance period used in “A”;“C” is the total amount in tonnes of WEEE from private households which is waste from electrical or electronic equipment that falls within the relevant category which the Secretary of State has determined under regulation 28(5) to be the total amount in tonnes to be financed by producers and authorised representatives in that category in the compliance period that follows compliance period used in “A”; and “D” is the total amount in tonnes of WEEE from private households that has been financed by the scheme in the relevant category during the compliance period used in “C”. 3A scheme operator who elects to pay the compliance fee referred to in paragraph (1) must ensure that the fee is paid to a third party approved by the Secretary of State under regulation 76 by 31st March in the compliance period following that to which the fee relates.Collection Arrangements341If paragraph (2) applies, the operator of a designated collection facility may require any scheme operator to arrange for the collection and treatment of deposited WEEE from that facility.2This paragraph applies where there is no contract in place for the collection and treatment of WEEE that is in the same WEEE collection stream as deposited WEEE between the operator of the designated collection facility and—athe scheme operator required to take action under paragraph (1), orbany other scheme operator.3Nothing in this regulation—aprevents the operator of the designated collection facility from contacting more than one scheme operator before taking action under paragraph (1);bprevents the scheme operator required to take action under paragraph (1) from entering into an arrangement with other scheme operators to arrange for the collection and treatment of the deposited WEEE;baprevents the fulfilment by an approved PBS (within the meaning of regulation 34B) of a requirement under paragraph (1) to arrange for the collection and treatment of the deposited WEEE;cobliges the scheme operator required to take action under paragraph (1) to collect and treat any WEEE which the operator of the designated collection facility is approved to retain under regulation 53.4In this regulation—“deposited WEEE” means WEEE deposited at the designated collection facility mentioned in paragraph (1);“operator of a designated collection facility means—a local authority, ora person operating a designated collection facility on behalf of a local authority;“scheme operator” means an operator of a scheme approved under regulation 55 for the purpose of complying with obligations under regulation 28 relating to WEEE from private households.<Addition ChangeId="key-078cc3d8541e6125c5baef3b8b3a467c-1645524110258" CommentaryRef="key-078cc3d8541e6125c5baef3b8b3a467c">PBS: procedure for approval</Addition>34AAny person or body may, on or before 1st March 2019, propose a PBS for approval by the Secretary of State.2The Secretary of State must consult such persons or bodies as appear to the Secretary of State representative of the interests concerned on any PBS proposed by—aany person or body in accordance with paragraph (1);

suspected to be WEEE Regulation 54 1In order to distinguish between EEE and WEEE, where the holder of the object claims that he intends to ship or is shipping used EEE and not WEEE, the holder must have available the following to substantiate this claim:aa copy of the invoice and contract relating to the sale and/or transfer of ownership of the EEE which states that the equipment is destined for direct re-use and that it is fully functional;bevidence of evaluation or testing in the form of a copy of the records (certificate of testing, proof of functionality) on every item within the consignment and a protocol containing all record information according to paragraph 3;ca declaration made by the holder who arranges the transport of the EEE that none of the material or equipment within the consignment is waste as defined by Article 3(1) of Waste Directive , as read with Articles 5 and 6 of that Directive ; anddappropriate protection against damage during transportation, loading and unloading in particular through sufficient packaging and appropriate stacking of the load. 2By way of derogation, paragraph 1(a) and (b) and paragraph 3 do not apply where it is documented by conclusive proof that the shipment is taking place in the framework of a business-to-business transfer agreement and that:athe EEE is sent back to the producer or a third party acting on his behalf , or to the non-UK supplier supplying the EEE on the online marketplace of an OMP producer or a third party acting on the non-UK supplier’s behalf, as defective for repair under warranty with the intention of re-use; orbthe used EEE for professional use is sent to the producer or a third party acting on his behalf or a third-party facility in countries to which Decision C(2001)107/Final of the OECD Council concerning the revision of Decision C(92)39/Final on control of transboundary movements of wastes destined for recovery operations applies, for refurbishment or repair under a valid contract with the intention of re-use; orcthe defective used EEE for professional use, such as medical devices or their parts, is sent to the producer or a third party acting on his behalf for root cause analysis under a valid contract, in cases where such an analysis can only be conducted by the producer or third parties acting on his behalf. 3In order to demonstrate that the items being shipped constitute used EEE rather than WEEE the appropriate authority shall require the following steps for testing and record keeping for used EEE to be carried out:Step 1: TestingaFunctionality shall be tested and the presence of hazardous substances shall be evaluated. The tests to be conducted depend on the kind of EEE. For most of the used EEE a functionality test of the key functions is sufficient.bResults of evaluation and testing shall be recorded.Step 2: RecordcThe record shall be fixed securely but not permanently on either the EEE itself (if not packed) or on the packaging so it can be read without unpacking the equipment.dThe record shall contain the following information:iname of item (name of the equipment if listed in Schedule 2 or Schedule 4, as appropriate, and category set out in Schedule 1 or Schedule 2, as appropriate),iiidentification number of the item (type No) where applicable,iiiyear of production (if available),ivname and address of the company responsible for evidence of functionality,vresult of tests as described in step 1 (including date of the functionality test),vikind of tests performed. 4 In addition to the documentation requested in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, every load (e.g. shipping container, lorry) of used EEE shall be accompanied by: a a relevant transport document, e.g. CMR or waybill; b a declaration by the liable person on its responsibility. 5In the absence of proof that an object is used EEE and not WEEE through the appropriate documentation required in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 and of appropriate protection against damage during transportation, loading and unloading in particular through sufficient packaging and appropriate stacking of the load, which are the obligations of the holder who arranges the transport, the appropriate authority shall consider that an item is WEEE and presume that the load comprises an illegal shipment. In these circumstances the load will be dealt with in accordance with Articles 24 and 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006.

These Regulations transpose the main provisions of Council Directive 2012/19/EU of 4th July 2012 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (OJ No L197, 24.7.2012, p.38) (“the Directive”) which recasts Council Directive 2002/96/EC (OJ no. L37, 13.2.2003, p.24) as amended by Council Directive 2003/108/EC (OJ No. L345, 31.12.2003, p.106).

Part 1 (General) deals with extent (regulation 1), interpretation (regulations 2 and 3) and service of documents (regulation 4). Regulations 59 and 65, which deal with charges, do not extend to Northern Ireland. The following terms used in these regulations have the same meaning as in the Directive: “active implantable medical device”, “collection”, “disposal”, “distributor”, “electrical and electronic equipment (“c”)”, “hazardous waste”, “in vitro diagnostic medical device”, “large scale fixed installations”, “large scale industrial tools”, “making available on the market”, “medical device”, “non-road mobile machinery”, “prevention”, “producer”, “recovery”, “recycling”, “reuse”, “separate collection”, “treatment”, “waste electrical and electronic equipment” (“WEEE”) and “WEEE from private households”.

Part 2 (Application) provides that these Regulations will apply, with certain exceptions, to the categories of EEE specified in Schedule 1, during the transitional period (i.e. the period from 1st January 2014 to 31st December 2018). The products listed in Schedule 2 fall within the categories listed in Schedule 1 (regulation 5). From 1st January 2019, these regulations will apply, with certain exceptions, to the categories of EEE specified in Schedule 3. The products listed in Schedule 4 fall within the categories listed in Schedule 3 (regulation 6). Regulation 9 provides that these regulations will have effect in relation to the first compliance period (i.e. the period from 1st January 2014 to 31st December 2014) subject to the amendments made by Schedule 5.

Part 3 (Producer obligations) provides that all producers who place EEE on the market in the United Kingdom in a compliance period will be responsible for financing the costs of the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of (a) WEEE from private households that is deposited at designated collection facilities, or returned under regulation 43 in that compliance period (regulation 11); and WEEE from users other than private households that arises during that compliance period (regulation 12). Regulation 13 places certain obligations on producers supplying EEE to a Member State other than the United Kingdom and; together with regulation 14 provides that any producer who has an obligation under regulations 11 and 12 must join a producer compliance scheme, either on their own behalf or by appointing an authorised representative unless, he is registered with the Environment Agency as a small producer. Any producer who is registered with a producer compliance scheme will be exempt from complying with any obligation they have under regulations 11 and 12 for the period during which his membership of the scheme subsists.

Where a schemes’ approval is withdrawn, the obligations under regulations 11 and 12 will revert back to individual members of that scheme (i.e. producers) who will be notified of any such obligation in relation to WEEE from private households by the appropriate authority. Regulation 11 sets out rules for working out the level of a producer’s financing obligation under that regulation. Regulations 15 to 17 set out the obligations that are placed upon a producer who falls within the definition of “small producer” set out in regulation 2. A producer must provide a declaration of compliance, together with supporting evidence, to the appropriate authority (regulation 19). Schedule 7 specifies the information that must be included in a declaration of compliance. For the purposes of these Regulations, the appropriate authority will be the EA, the NRBW, the SEPA or the Department of the Environment in Northern Ireland (regulation 2).

A producer must mark EEE that he puts on the market with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol shown in Schedule 6 (regulation 22) and a date mark (regulation 23). A producer must also provide information on reuse and environmentally sound treatment for each new type of EEE that they put on the market (regulation 24).

Part 4 (Scheme obligations) requires an operator of an approved compliance scheme to register or notify the appropriate authority of each producer who is a member of that scheme (regulations 25 and 26). Regulation 27 and Schedule 8 set out the procedure for registering producers who are members of a scheme. An operator of an approved scheme must meet the financing obligations that its members would have had, but for their membership of the scheme. Any financing obligation placed upon a producer by regulations 11 and 12 will be passed to an operator of a scheme where a producer is a member of that scheme (regulations 28 and 29). An operator of a scheme has certain obligations in relation to the reuse of whole appliances (regulation 30), treatment (regulation 31) and recovery (regulation 32) for any WEEE that he is responsible for under these Regulations. An operator of a scheme who has not discharged the financing obligation of the members of that scheme may elect to discharge this obligation by paying a compliance fee (regulation 33). An operator of a scheme also has an obligation, in certain circumstances, to collect WEEE that has been deposited at a designated collection facility upon the request of the operator of that facility (regulation 34). An operator of a scheme also has reporting (regulations 35 to 38), compliance (regulation 39) and record keeping (regulations 40 and 41) obligations.

Part 5 (Distributor obligations and rights) provides that a distributor will be responsible for providing an in-store take back service for customers in relation to specified WEEE unless he is a member of a distributor take back scheme or he has received approval to use existing take back facilities where such facilities are likely to be at least as effective (regulations 42 and 46). A distributor who supplies new EEE must make specified information available to users if EEE in private households (regulation 44). A distributor has a right to return WEEE from private households free of charge to a system set up by a compliance scheme (regulation 43). Regulation 45 imposes a record keeping obligation upon distributors.

Part 6 (Miscellaneous) places a financing obligation on users other than private households in relation to WEEE that arises from EEE that was placed on the market in the United Kingdom before 13th August 2005 (regulation 47). A person who collects of transports WEEE must ensure that the reuse or recycling of that equipment, or its components, is optimised (regulation 48). A person has a right to refuse to handle contaminated WEEE (regulation 49). An operator of a scheme may establish and operate a system to take back WEEE from private households (regulation 50). No person may show a purchaser at the time of sale of new EEE the costs of the collection, treatment and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE (regulation 51). A final holder of WEEE from private households free of charge to a take back system established by an operator of a scheme under regulation 50 (regulation 52). Regulation 53 provides that an operator of a designated collection facility may chose to retain WEEE deposited at that facility in certain circumstances Regulation 54 imposes an obligation approved exporters who transport EEE outside of the European Union to comply with the minimum requirements set out in Schedule 9.

Part 7 (Approval of proposed schemes and withdrawal of approval of schemes) sets out the procedure for applying for approval as a scheme (regulation 55 and Schedule 10). Provision is made for refusal of approval (regulation 56), conditions of approval (regulation 57) and withdrawal of approval (regulation 58).
