Keep in mind

Second chapter of the Act deals with electrical devices and electrical waste.

There was a small adjustment of the interpretation of some terms such as “household electrical waste”, “making electrical device available in the market”. The Act introduced new terms “Authorised representative”, “very small electrical waste” and also an obligation to state the recycling fee for electrical and electronic devices from households in a visible way.
