The WEEE compliance scheme for all lighting - LIA - 2016

Lumicom is the UK’s leading independent not-for-profit WEEE Compliance Scheme set up  to specifically serve the lighting industry. We offer impartial, accurate and expert advice on  WEEE compliance for both household and non-household lighting producers.  How we can help you achieve and maintain WEEE compliance   As a producer of lighting products, it is your responsibility to ensure that measures are in place to allow for the environmentally sound disposal of those products once they reach the end of their lives. This includes providing for the cost of recovery and treatment of the products. However, we can help you comply with these responsibilities through our Lighting Specific Compliance Scheme. As part of the Lighting Industry Association (the largest, not-for-profit lighting trade association in Europe), we understand the unique challenges faced by the industry and are well placed to offer advice, guidance and support based on our knowledge and expertise.  LUMICOM - THE WEEE COMPLIANCE  SCHEME FOR ALL LIGHTING. www.lumicom.co.uk

Our close connections with government are currently helping to steer the industry through the coming months and years in developing a sound recycling compliance arena. Perhaps most importantly, as a member centric-organisation, you have the opportunity to drive our efforts and industry approach. Our members are consulted on legislative matters and scheme development and have the opportunity to sit on our main board and sub-committees. Open Days and WebinarsOur calendar of Open Days and webinars provide opportunities for Lumicom members to gain an understanding of the latest news within the industry. In addition to helping you keep on top of changes  to legislation affecting WEEE compliance, we also  provide innovative tips and advice on how to manage lighting recycling, as well as plenty of industry  networking opportunities. Product Verification and Data Checking ServicesOur Product Verification Services are designed to support our members in ensuring that they report their WEEE obligations accurately and in the correct category. Asthe only producer compliance scheme with access to our own laboratory, we’re able to exploit the technology available at the LIA Laboratory to help you make sure you are not under or over, reporting on your products for compliance purposes. We can help you by providing independent verification on the quality of your products, as well as areas such as weight or packaging. Our Data Checking Services are designed to help you get the data right first time. If there are any issues with your WEEE Compliance submission, our data checking procedures will help you identify and rectify any problems. Clear Pricing OptionsWe operate as a not-for-profit WEEE Compliance Scheme. We offer a range of choices for our members, including bespoke solutions. Our flexible pricing methodology is clearly defined to enable you to choose the best solution for your needs. Soft Audit OptionsWe provide a lighting specific ‘soft audit’ for all producers within the lighting industry, irrespective of whether they  are members of a producer compliance scheme or not. During a soft audit, our technicians will visit you and carry out a ‘compliance health check’ of your products and  processes. They will provide you with impartial advice  as part of the audit and a recommendation as to which WEEE Compliance Scheme would best suit your needs. Support of EA AuditsIn addition to soft audit options, we provide members  with access to support for Environment Agency Audits.  This includes help in the preparation of data during  pre-audit as well as in support for industry specific Environment Agency issues.

Assistance with Methodology WritingOne of the aspects to WEEE compliance that the Environment Agency looks for is the methodology each company adopts in its reporting process. This includes the process applied to writing up and detailing the overall methods for reporting and submitting data that you adopt. We can ensure that your methodology report meets Environment Agency standards and is accurate  and complete.  Lighting Specific Compliance Scheme  Telephone:  0845 643 0304 Email: [email protected]
