Can I register multiple brands or product lines under one WEEE registration number?
No, each brand and device type needs a separate registration number. This is a significant cost factor: if you sell electronics under three different brand names, for example, you pay the initial registration fee (€9.50) for each brand. The annual warranty check is also calculated per device type. This quickly makes total costs substantial for larger sellers. Worth a strategic consideration: can you consolidate your product range under one brand to save registration costs? This saves money and reduces administrative complexity.
