The REACH-regulation (1907 /2006/EC) describes the setting up and updating of safety data sheets for substances and mixtures. For articles – like lead-acid batteries – safety data sheets are not required. The transfer of a leaflet with “instructions for the safe handling of batteries“ has to be interpreted simply as a product information.
Furthermore all lead-acid batteries have to be marked with a crossed-out wheelie bin and with the chemical symbol for lead Pb shown below. In addition, the ISO- recycling symbol is marked. The manufacturer, respectively the importer of the batteries shall be responsible for the attachment of the symbols.
This guide to IEC/EN standards aims to increase the awareness, understanding and use of valve regulated lead-acid batteries for stationary applications and to provide the ‘user’ with guidance in the preparation of a Purchasing Specification.
A series of instructions must be followed when using lead-acid batteries to ensure customer satisfaction in terms of maximum product reliability. These instructions are based on the battery’s dependence on mechanical, thermal and electrical influences, and take into account safety aspects.
Spent lead-acid batteries are not allowed to dispose in the domestic waste or be mixed with other batteries in order not to compliance the processing and to prevent danger to humans and the environment. By no means may the electrolyte, the diluted sulphuric acid, be emptied in an inexpert manner.
The Batteries Regulation is a new regulation that sets requirements for batteries and waste batteries placed in the EU market. It covers all types of batteries unless an exemption applies. In this guide, we explain when the regulation will begin to apply, and its differences from the prior Batteries Directive.
