TS EN 50419
Marking of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) in respect to separate collection of waste EEE (WEEE)
This document specifies a marking
— of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with a view to minimizing the disposal of waste EEE (WEEE) as unsorted waste and to facilitating its separate collection.
NOTE 1 This is in accordance with Article 14(4) of Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE, recast)
— that serves to clearly identify the producer of the equipment and
— that the equipment has been put on the market after 13 August 2005.
NOTE 2 This is in accordance with Articles 12(3) and 15(2) of Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE, recast)
— that applies to categories of electrical and electronic equipment subject to WEEE collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal as defined by European and national regulations, provided the equipment concerned is not part of another type of equipment that does not fall within the scope of above mentioned regulations.
NOTE 3 This is in accordance with Article 2 and Annexes I – IV of Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE, recast) [1]
The definition of a technical carrier medium for machine based identifying the producer, such as a barcode, electronic data medium or microchip, is not covered by this document.

About This Item
TS EN 50419 addresses the marking used on electrical and electronic equipment to support the separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment. In practical terms, the standard defines the meaning and intended use of the visible mark that tells users the equipment should not be discarded with unsorted waste; its purpose is to direct WEEE into the correct collection route.
The technical purpose of the EEE marking
Electrical and electronic equipment can contain a mix of metals, plastics, circuit boards, cables, and sometimes hazardous components, so end-of-life handling depends on clear separation and recovery pathways. The marking covered by this standard helps signal that the product belongs in the WEEE stream and supports identification of the producer. In general technical context, that matters because producer identification can support traceability across collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal systems after the equipment is placed on the market.
Where the document draws the boundary
- It is concerned with marking intended to minimise disposal of WEEE as unsorted waste and to facilitate separate collection.
- The marking is meant to identify the producer of the equipment clearly.
- It indicates that the equipment was placed on the market after 13 August 2005.
- It applies to EEE categories subject to WEEE collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal, unless the equipment forms part of another type of equipment outside that regulatory scope.
- The definition of a technical carrier medium for machine-based producer identification, such as a barcode, electronic data medium or microchip, is not covered by this document.
From a broader engineering perspective, this is a marking-and-identification standard rather than a product-performance standard. It focuses on the information that must be conveyed on the equipment so that end-of-life sorting is easier and more reliable. That distinction is important: the standard is about the visible message and its scope of use, not about the internal design, recycling process, or electrical characteristics of the equipment itself.
