Batteries, which contain harmful substances,
are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out
waste bin, similar to the illustration shown left.
Under the waste bin symbol is the chemical
symbol for the harmful substance, e.g. „Cd“
for cadmium, „Pb“ stands for lead and „Hg “
for mercury.
You can also find this notification in the paperwork accompanying
the goods delivery or in the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
You can obtain further information about the Battery Regulations
from the Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und
Reaktorsicherheit (Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature
Conservation and Reactor Safety).
