European Union (EU) Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Compliance
Cambium Networks is committed to meeting the requirements of the European Union Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive, 2012/19/EU.
This Directive requires producers of electrical and electronic equipment to finance the takeback of WEEE resulting from their products that are placed on the EU market. In line with this commitment, Cambium Networks will take back WEEE.
The WEEE Directive is being implemented in each of the 27 EU countries through national legislation. Norway and Switzerland have also implemented similar pieces of legislation. As the detailed WEEE requirements vary considerably throughout the EU, Cambium Networks WEEE compliance approach is adapted to comply with regional requirements.
The user also has a role to play in ensuring that WEEE is reused and recycled safely. The crossed out wheeled-bin symbol on products is a reminder to users not to dispose of WEEE in the bin. If you choose not to return WEEE to Cambium Networks then you must ensure that the WEEE is sent for proper treatment as WEEE may contain hazardous substances that , if not managed and treated safely, can cause pollution and damage to human health.
In each country affected by the WEEE legislation, Cambium Networks customers should raise a return request by opening a support ticket through the Customer Support portal at https://support.cambiumnetworks.com.

General Product Safety Regulation
The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a new regulation that replaces the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD). Its purpose is to set safety and other requirements for all consumer products, regardless of whether product-specific regulations, directives, or standards exist. While similar to the previous regulation, GPSR extends and expands GPSD in several aspects.
The GPSR regulatory text was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on May 23, 2023, in Regulation 2023/988 and entered into force on June 12, 2023. The GPSR became applicable on December 13, 2024—the date on which the GPSD and Directive 87/357/EEC were repealed.
As with GPSD, GPSR applies to Cambium Networks as the registered manufacturer. However, not all SKUs qualify for GPSR governance. For those SKUs that qualify, Cambium Networks is compliant with the GPSR, as we were for the GPSD.
Our registered agent is Cambium Networks Europe BV, Muiderstraat 1, 1011PZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Questions and concerns regarding GPSR and Cambium Networks can be addressed to GPSR@CambiumNetworks.com.
For additional information on the GPSR please review the European Commission summary.
