A 1: not the same. WEEE certification is generally done by factories, which is to test whether the recovery rate of a product meets the requirements. After WEEE certification, products can be marked with trash can logo. The registration of WEEE is that as long as the products are sold in Germany, they must be registered in WEEE, and stores that are not registered with WEEE on Amazon will be listed! So Amazon sellers must register for WEEE.
Bian Xiao reminds me here that all electronic products must be registered in WEEE, and WEEE certification can be done or not, but as long as electronic products are sold to Germany, WEEE registration must be done.
Q2: Is the "trash can label" WEEE certified? So, without WEEE certification, can I post the "trash can sign" only if WEEE is registered?
A2: WEEE certification and WEEE registration can also be labeled with "trash can sign". In other words, certification and registration can be labeled or unlabeled, but WEEE certification should be done regardless of labeling, as long as you sell electronic products to Germany. Because Amazon is strictly checking the WEEE registration code!
Q3: I am a factory. Only after the factory has completed WEEE certification can the dealer register WEEE, right?
Answer 3: No. If the factory does not do WEEE certification, customers (distributors) can also do WEEE registration. Authentication and registration are two aspects that do not conflict.
Q4: I am a factory. Can the factory register directly without certification?
A4: It depends on the communication and demand between the factory and the distributor. If the distributor does not require the factory to provide WEEE certification, the factory does not have to do so. Dealers need to be provided by the factory, so they need to do it.
I hope today's answer will make every Amazon pro know more about WEEE.
