In the second stage of the Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) starting from 15 August 2018, Lifts are still exempted from the Directive and so are components specially designed for exclusive use in lifts and escalators and moving walks. Other products of general use, subject to WEEE such as generic screens, have to follow the WEEE relevant instruction of the original producer.
