NOTES:

1. Products included/excluded are examples based upon member inquiries but do not represent an exhaustive list of all obligated products by category.

Stewards must assess products against the definitions of each obligated product category to determine the applicability and appropriate EHF, and may consult

the program for assistance in clarification where required.

2. Products identified as “Included in the Obligated Category” are subject to the EHF for that category; Products identified as “Not Included in the Obligated

Category are not subject to the EHF for that category, however, members must consider all obligated product categories to determine if the product meets the

definition of another obligated product category.

3. In selected cases, selected products such as cables, connectors, chargers and remote controls, memory cards and USB keys are regulated and will be accepted

for recycling at EPRA Québec depots, but do not attract an EHF.

4. Electronic equipment designed and intended to be used exclusively in an industrial, commercial or institutional (ICI) setting which exceed a unit weight

threshold of 120 kilograms shall be excluded from the program150.

5. A product is excluded from any category if it weighs >200kg, is professionally installed, or cannot readily and safely be de-installed, transported and/orrecycled151.

6. A product is excluded from any category if it has been implanted in a person, if it is surgically invasive or is inserted into a patient's body, if it requires

decontamination prior to recycling, or if it has come into contact with blood or other biological contaminants prior to end-of-life152.

7. There are two instances where multiple obligated products may be packaged by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in a single physical package

carrying a single SKU (stock-keeping unit) and be subject to one EHF for the entire package of products:

a) Where the product definition above specifically includes multiple obligated products, or

b) Where a product is comprised of different functional components that are sometimes sold separately, but in this case are integrate into a single operating

unit.

150 EPRA Quebec only

151 EPRA BC only

152 EPRA BC only


30

In this instance, the integrated product carries the single highest EHF. Examples include:

Phase I

• All-in-one computer system (desktop CPU with integrated display device)

• Display device with integrated video player (DVD, VCR, Blu-ray, etc.)

• Printer/Scanner/Fax (all-in-ones)

Phase II

• Multiple drive players integrated into a single device –e.g. DVD & VCR player

• Fax machine with a corded telephone handset

• Telephone with built-in answering machine

• Security display monitor with built-in digital video recorder (DVR)

8. Floor-standing equipment should only include equipment which is integrated, and which cannot easily be broken down by the end-user for recycling (e.g. a

mainframe). Floor-standing equipment is not considered one unit under the program if the equipment is comprised of easily-removable subcomponents. If the

latter is the case, the rack or frame containing the equipment is excluded and the individual sub-components are covered in categories above as

individual/multiple units.

9. Electronic Toys are defined as a plaything placed on the market that uses a cable/plug, batteries, of any type, or other untethered mechanism, to provide

power to operate a feature function.

10. The list of Product Definitions and Clarifications may be revised periodically by the Program.
