What Is a Facsimile Under E-Waste Category ITEW10?

A facsimile (also known as a fax machine) is an electronic device used to scan, transmit, receive, and reproduce documents over a communication network. Under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, Facsimile falls under Information Technology and Telecommunication Equipment (ITEW) with the equipment code ITEW10.

ITEW10 covers facsimile equipment that comes under the category of electrical and electronic equipment. As per the Rules, since they apply to applicable components, consumables, parts, and spares, companies involved in the manufacturing of applicable fax equipment need to check whether their products fall under the EEE categories and EPR obligations.
