What you need to know

All electrical goods sold in the UK must now comply with the RoHS regulations and be supplied by a WEEE registered supplier. You should check that your supplier is WEEE registered, or that the business they buy from is WEEE registered. In our case, Banxia is itself registered so you can know that the waste electrical regulations are complied with.

If you are buying a keypad system, you need to know that your supply is from a registered source, and to get their registration number (it is required to be on the invoice).

What are WEEE and RoHS?

WEEE stands for the "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment" regulations, and anyone who imports or distributes electrical or electronic items must be registered. The government pages on this are here.

RoHS (usually pronounced "Ro-hass") stands for the "Restriction on the use of certain Hazardous Substances" in electrical and electronic equipment. The government pages on this are here.

WEEE and Interwrite PRS

Interwrite Learning is an American company and so they are not registered, but when you purchase PRS in the UK it is your UK supplier who MUST be registered and their registration number MUST appear on their invoices to you. Banxia Software is registered so you can be assured that supplies from ourselves are compliant. Our registration number is on all of our invoices, as required by law.
