15. Regulatory information
Marking consideration:
European Union: According to Directive 2006/66/EC, the batteries have to be
marked with the crossed wheel bin symbol. According to Commission Regulation
(EU) No 1103/2010 portable secondary (rechargeable) batteries and
accumulators shall be marked with a capacity marking, except those which are
incorporated or designed to be incorporated in appliances before being provided
to end-users, and not intended to be removed.
Rechargeable Lithium ion batteries, which contain electronic modules (e.g. PCM)
and which are subjected to the EMC directives 2004/108/EC or 2014/35/EU (as
they are end-user replaceable devices), must undergo a CE conformity
assessment and must wear the CE marking.
According to Dangerous Goods Regulations (see 14.) battery packs have to be
marked with the Watt-hour rating.
International safety standards:
The basis cells are approved according to UL 1642.
Water hazard class:
The regulations of the German Federal Water Management Act (WHG) are not
applicable as Lithium ion batteries are articles and not substances, thus there is
no risk of water pollution, except the batteries are violated or dismantled.
