28 NOTES: 1. Products included/excluded are examples based upon member inquiries but do not represent an exhaustive list of all obligated products by category. Members 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 program 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. In this instance, the integrated product carries the single highest EHF.; Examples include : Display device with integrated video player (DVD, VCR, Blu-ray, etc.) Printer / Scanner / Fax (all-in-ones) Fax machine with a corded telephone handset Telephone with built-in answering machine 136 ARPE-Québec only 28

29 6. 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. Revision: May 8, 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. 8. The list of Product Definitions and Clarifications may be revised periodically by the Program. 29
