Distributors of electrical and electronic devices have a series of responsibilities, mainly laid out in the legal framework set out in Royal Decree 110/2015 and subsequent amendments introduced by Royal Decree 27/2021.
+ Limiting placement of equipment on the market to that manufactured by producers with an identification number in the Integrated Industrial Register (RII-AEE).
+ Acceptance and reception of WEEE, both at the point of sale and at the time of delivery of a new appliance to the purchaser’s address.
+ Authorisation of a collection point for WEEE of up to 25 cm, for distributors with a sales area of at least 400 m2.
+ Issuing of collection receipts to the purchaser handing over WEEE, indicating the date, type of equipment, brand, serial number and destination (recycling or reuse).
+ Managing WEEE collected, either through an Extended Producer Responsibility Collective System (EPRCS) or directly from an authorised manager.
+ Identifying WEEE by electronic tag, so as to ensure the traceability of the waste.
+ Developing agreements to prepare equipment for reuse by logistics platforms.
+ Dissemination of information on the correct collection of WEEE.
As distributors, you may be subject to fines or other penalties, such as temporary occupational disqualification or closure of premises, if you don’t comply with your recycling obligations in accordance with Law 07/2022 on Waste and Contaminated Soil.
Financial penalties for failure to meet these responsibilities can be as high as 1,750,000 euros.
