Marking requirements for batteries. Beginning January 1, 2030, marked with proper labeling to ensure proper collection and recycling, by identifying the chemistry of the battery and including an indication that the battery should not be disposed of as household waste.
From 18 August 2025, all batteries shall be marked with the symbol for separate collection of batteries ('separate collection symbol') as shown in Part B of Annex VI. Where the size of the battery is such that the separate collection symbol would be smaller than 0,47 × 0,47 cm, the battery does not need to be marked with that symbol.
All batteries containing more than 0.002% Cd or 0.004% Pb must be marked with the chemical symbol for the metal concerned. The manual recommends compliance with the U.S. Battery Act of 1996 requirement to include a Ni-Cd or Pb label. The manual recommends having a chemical symbol on the battery label.
Consistent across all three EPR laws is the requirement that batteries sold within the state include the battery chemistry on the label, as well as symbols or indicators signaling that consumers should not dispose of the batteries as household waste.
