WEEE Consulting
The WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU) makes what happens to your electrical and electronic products at end of life part of your responsibility as a manufacturer. It applies to manufacturers and importers selling electrical/electronic products into the EU market — in most EU countries, products can't legally be placed on the market without producer registration. We take end-to-end ownership of the registration, marking, and reporting process, so you can focus on the product.
Who needs this?
Applies to manufacturers of household electrical appliances, IT and telecommunications equipment, lighting products, electronic tools, and any producer of electrical/ electronic assemblies. Producer responsibility registration is mandatory for manufacturers shipping products into the EU market.

Which Products Are Affected?

- IT and telecommunications equipment
- Lighting products (including LED fixtures)
- Electric power tools
- Monitoring and control instruments
- Automatic dispensers (vending machines, ATMs, etc.)
We don't sell you a magic WEEE registration — we build a reporting calendar and reminder system grounded in the real producer responsibility requirements of your target market, so deadlines don't slip past you.
What TICQA Provides
We own the entire registration and reporting process — contact with the Producer Responsibility Organization in your target market, determining the correct category and marking, and managing periodic reporting. We carry that responsibility under one roof, from registration to reporting.
How the Process Works
Obligation Assessment
We work out which WEEE category your product falls under and which obligations — registration, marking, reporting — apply to you.

We handle registration with the producer responsibility organization in your target market and make sure the mandatory "crossed-out wheelie bin" symbol is applied correctly.
Reporting Calendar
We manage your periodic quantity and weight reporting so deadlines don't slip past you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to register for WEEE separately in every country?
Yes, most EU countries require registration at the national level individually. We manage this on your behalf based on which markets you sell into.
Does equipment sold B2B also fall under WEEE?
In most cases, yes, depending on the product category. Electrical/electronic equipment sold to businesses, not just consumers, is generally in scope too.
Where and how should I apply the WEEE symbol?
The symbol should primarily go on the product itself; if that's not technically feasible, it goes on the packaging or the manual. There are specific rules on size and visibility, which we apply together with you.
