Waste handling and compliance
Classified under WEEE Category 4 — Large Equipment (any external dimension more than 50 cm). That's the category that drives end-of-life take-back and recycling obligations in EU member states. For a panel builder or site electrical engineer, this means the drive's disposal or refurbishment path follows the large-equipment stream, not the small-device bin.
