Standard EN 1728:2000 took effect in 2002 (UNI EN
1728:2002 in Italy) harmonizing at the European level
testing methods for resistance and durability of all the
types of domestic seating. This regulation, which replac-
es previous ones, prescribes much more severe testing
procedures than in the past.
Standard EN 15373 came into force in late 2007,
updating the testing criteria, cycles and levels, with
respect to EN 1728:2000.
Standard EN 16139:2013 came into force at the end
of 2012, updating standard EN 15373 (see summary
table).
In 2013, standard EN 1728 was updated to the
EN 1728:2012+AC:2013 edition (in Italy UNI EN
1728:2012+AC:2013).Standard

updated with EN 15372:2008 (for Italy UNI
EN 1730:2002) came into force in 2000 for
the assessment of table performance took effect
in 2000 to determine table performance. This
standard stipulates the testing methods to deter-
mine
the
resistance,
durability
and
stability
of
all types of tables. Tests are conducted on an assembled
and ready-to-use table. The references to the characteris-
tics tested are expressed with respect to the paragraph

ECO-CONTRIBUTION
Introduced in Legislative Decree no. 151 dated
25 July 2005 (updating directives 2002/95/
EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC), the
eco-contribution is an environmental charge
used to pay for waste management of electrical
and electronic equipment (WEEE). This charge
is used to finance all phases of treatment, trans-
port, recovery and disposal of electrical and
electronic appliances. Kartell lighting prices
include the WEEE.
NOTICE PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 13 OF
LEGISLATIVE DECREE NO. 151 DATED
25 JULY 2005.
Directive 2012/19/UE (waste electrical and
electronic equipment: WEEE):
User information: pursuant to article 13 of Leg-
islative Decree no. 151 dated 25 July 2005,
no. 151 "Updating of Directives 2002/95/EC,
2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC, regarding
the reduction in the use of dangerous substances
in electrical and electronic equipment, and the
disposal of waste" this product is conform.
The barred bin symbol on the equipment or their
packaging indicates that at the end of its useful
life, the product must be disposed of separately
from other waste. The user must take the equip-
ment to an authorised recycling centre for elec-
tronic and electric waste, or return it to the origi-
nal vendor when purchasing an equivalent prod-
uct, on a one-to-one basis. The appropriate col-
lection for environmentally-compatible recycling,
treatment and disposal contributes to avoiding
possible negative effects on the environment
and its health and encourages the reuse and/or
recycling of the materials used in the equipment.
Improper disposal of the product by the user
will result in the application of the administrative
sanctions stipulated by regulations in force.
ECODESIGN FOR LIGHTING
In response to current legislation, Kartell is work-
ing hard to bring its lighting products as closely
as possible into line with the parameters estab-
lished by the ECODESIGN directive.
The EU Ecodesign Directive establishes a frame-
work under which manufacturers of energy-us-
ing products are obliged to reduce the energy
consumption and other negative environmental
impacts occurring throughout the product life
cycle (production, use and disposal).
In particular, the regulation requires that light
sources and their power supplies permit access
for technical checking and that they be “disas-
semblable” to permit repair in the event of fail-
ure. Light sources must also be “replaceable” to
permit upgrading or the installation of more effi-
cient or improved components as these become
available in future.
