SECTION XV - REGULATORY INFORMATION
EU Classification of Preparation: Not classified as a dangerous preparation
EU Battery Directive:
Duracell alkaline batteries comply with the substance restriction limits
and labeling requirements set forth in the EU Battery Directive 2006/66/EC and as a result
contain <0.0005% (5 ppm) mercury, <0.002% (20 ppm) cadmium and <0.004% (40 ppm) lead.
The chemical symbols Hg, Cd and Pb are therefore not required below the separate collection
symbol.
EU RoHS Directive: Batteries are not subject regulation.
EU REACH: Subject battery products are “articles” under REACH and not subject to REACH
registration or e-SDS requirements. To the best of our knowledge, Duracell alkaline batteries do not
contain any of the 84 SVHCs per the ECHA updated Candidate List of June 18, 2012.
EU Labeling: None required. Labeling is not required because batteries are classified as articles under
both REACH and the Dangerous Preparations Directive and as such are exempt from the requirement for
labeling.
