The main regulations materials of the European Union on safety for low voltage equipment, radio– and telecommunications equipment (Directive 2014/35/EU, Directive 2014/53/ЕU and Directive 1999/5/EC) are considered and analyzed. The main regulation materials for waste utilization of electrical and electronic equipment (Directive 2002/96/EC and Directive 2011/65/EU) are considered and analyzed also.
