Battery products are very popular in the European Union. The export of battery products to the EU requires CE certification. The CE certification directive for batteries is 2006/66/EC, the battery EMC directive EN61000 battery safety standards: EN62133, EN60950. 2006/66/EC directive The battery products are divided into four categories: portable batteries, button batteries, industrial batteries and automotive batteries.

The 2006/66/EC Directive bans certain mercury and cadmium-containing batteries and accumulators from being sold on the market in order to protect the environment, and also strives to promote high collection and recycling rates of waste batteries and accumulators, and combine all of them with batteries and accumulators. Actors related to the battery life cycle, such as manufacturers and distributors, especially operators directly related to the disposal and recycling of waste batteries and batteries, are included in the scope of investigation.

The purpose of the instruction:

The directive aims to reduce the production of hazardous batteries and accumulators, increase the rate of recovery, treatment and recycling of used batteries and accumulators, and increase the amount of waste collected and recycled from batteries and accumulators.

Product range covered by the directive:

The directive covers all types of batteries (except for batteries used in security and military equipment of member states, and batteries used in space). Compared with the directive 91/157/EEC which only applies to old batteries containing certain cadmium, mercury and lead, the scope has been expanded.
