2006/66/EC电池指令(中文)2006-66-EC电池指令(中文)欧洲议会和欧盟理事会2006年9月2日第2006/66/EC号关于电池及蓄电池、废弃电池及蓄电池以及废止91/157/EEC的指令欧洲议会和欧盟理事会注意到建立欧洲共同体条约，特别是其中第175（1）条和第95（1）条，注意到欧盟委员会的提案，注意到欧洲经济社会委员会的提案，注意到欧盟地区委员会的意见，按照欧洲共同体条约第251条所制定的程序以及协调委员会2006年6月22日通过的联合文本，鉴于：(1) 协调各国家跟电池及蓄电池、废弃电池及蓄电池有关的措施是有利的。
这个指令的主要目的是将电池及蓄电池、废弃电池及蓄电池对环境的影响减到最少，从而对保护、保存和改善环境指令做出贡献。
立法75（1）条。
然而，采取基于第95（1）条来协调与重金属含量及电池及蓄电池标识有关的措施也是合适的，目的是确保在欧洲共同体内部市场顺利实施，并避免内部的不正当竞争。
(2) 欧盟理事会通讯于1996年7月30公布的关于欧洲共同体废弃物处理策略综述为欧洲共同体未来的废弃物政策确立了指导方针。
通讯强调了减少废弃物中有害物质含量的必要性，指出在整个欧洲共同体范围内在产品及产品制造过程中限制使用这些有害物质规则的潜在好处。
通讯还说明既然废弃物的产生是不能避免的，那么废弃物应该在材料或能源上循环再利用。
(3) 欧洲议会1988年1月25日决议关于欧洲共同体抗击由镉引起的环境污染行动计划强调，为了保护人类健康和环境，镉控制的策略是限制镉的使用场合和收集、回收含镉电池。
(4) 欧洲议会1991年3月18日第91/157/EEC号关于含有某些有害物质的电池及蓄电池指令使一些成员国在这个领域制定了一些法律。
然而，指令的一些目的没有完全达到。
第1600/2002/EC号制定的第六个欧洲共同体环境行动计划决议和第2002/96/EC号关于电子电气设备废弃指令（WEEE）也强调91/157/EEC指令需要修改。
I(Acts whose publication is obligatory)DIRECTIVE2006/66/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCILof6September2006on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators and repealing Directive91/157/EEC(Text with EEA relevance)THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EURO-PEAN UNION,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Com-munity,and in particular Article175(1)thereof and Article95(1)thereof in relation to Articles4,6and21of this Directive,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(2),Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of Regions(3),Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article251of the Treaty(4),in the light of the joint text approved by the Conciliation Committee on22June2006,Whereas:(1)It is desirable to harmonise national measuresconcerning batteries and accumulators and wastebatteries and accumulators.The primary objective of thisDirective is to minimise the negative impact of batteriesand accumulators and waste batteries and accumulatorson the environment,thus contributing to the protection,preservation and improvement of the quality of theenvironment.The legal base is therefore Article175(1)of the Treaty.However,it is also appropriate to takemeasures at Community level on the basis ofArticle95(1)of the Treaty to harmonise requirementsconcerning the heavy metal content and labelling ofbatteries and accumulators and so to ensure the smoothfunctioning of the internal market and avoid distortionof competition within the Community.(2)The Commission Communication of30July1996onthe Review of the Community Strategy for WasteManagement established guidelines for future Com-munity waste policy.That Communication stresses theneed to reduce the quantities of hazardous substances inwaste and points out the potential benefits of Com-munity-wide rules limiting the presence of suchsubstances in products and in production processes.Itfurther states that,where the generation of waste cannotbe avoided,that waste should be reused or recovered forits material or energy.(3)The Council Resolution of25January1988on a Com-munity action programme to combat environmentalpollution by cadmium(5)stressed the limitation of theuses of cadmium to cases where suitable alternatives donot exist and the collection and recycling of batteriescontaining cadmium as major elements of the strategyfor cadmium control in the interests of the protection ofhuman health and the environment.(4)Council Directive91/157/EEC of18March1991onbatteries and accumulators containing certain dangeroussubstances(6)has brought about an approximation ofMember States'laws in this field.However,the objectivesof that Directive have not been fully attained.DecisionNo1600/2002/EC of the European Parliament and ofthe Council of22July2002laying down the Sixth Com-munity Environment Action Programme(7)and Direc-tive2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of theCouncil of27January2003on waste electrical and elec-tronic equipment(WEEE)(8)also underlined the need forDirective91/157/EEC to be revised.Directive91/157/EEC should therefore be revised and replaced inthe interests of clarity.(1)OJ C96,21.4.2004,p.29.(2)OJ C117,30.4.2004,p.5.(3)OJ C121,30.4.2004,p.35.(4)Opinion of the European Parliament of20April2004(OJ C104E,30.4.2004,p.354),Council Common Position of18July2005(OJC264E,25.10.2005,p.1)and Position of the European Parliament of13December2005(not yet published in the Official Journal).(5)OJ C30,4.2.1988,p.1.(6)OJ L78,26.3.1991,p.38.Directive as amended by CommissionDirective98/101/EC(OJ L1,5.1.1999,p.1).(7)OJ L242,10.9.2002,p.1.(5)In order to achieve its environmental aims,this Directiveprohibits the placing on the market of certain batteriesand accumulators containing mercury or cadmium.Italso promotes a high level of collection and recycling ofwaste batteries and accumulators and improved environ-mental performance of all operators involved in the lifecycle of batteries and accumulators, e.g.producers,distributors and end-users and,in particular,thoseoperators directly involved in the treatment and recy-cling of waste batteries and accumulators.The specificrules needed to do this are supplementary to existingCommunity legislation on waste,in particular Direc-tive2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of theCouncil of5April2006on waste(1),Council Direc-tive1999/31/EC of26April1999on the landfill ofwaste(2)and Directive2000/76/EC of theEuropean Parliament and of the Council of4December2000on the incineration of waste(3).(6)In order to prevent waste batteries and accumulatorsfrom being discarded in such a way as to pollute theenvironment,and to avoid end-user confusion about thedifferent waste management requirements for differentbatteries and accumulators,this Directive should applyto all batteries and accumulators placed on the marketwithin the Community.Such a wide scope should alsoensure economies of scale in collection and recycling,aswell as optimal resource saving.(7)Reliable batteries and accumulators are fundamental forthe safety of many products,appliances and services,and are an essential energy source in our society.(8)It is appropriate to distinguish between portable batteriesand accumulators on the one hand and industrial andautomotive batteries and accumulators on the other.Thedisposal of industrial and automotive batteries and accu-mulators in landfill sites or by incineration should beprohibited.(9)Examples of industrial batteries and accumulatorsinclude batteries and accumulators used for emergencyor back-up power supply in hospitals,airports or offices,batteries and accumulators used in trains or aircraft andbatteries and accumulators used on offshore oil rigs orin lighthouses.Examples also include batteries and accu-mulators designed exclusively for hand-held paymentterminals in shops and restaurants,bar code readers inshops,professional video equipment for TV channelsand professional studios,miners'lamps and diving lampsattached to mining and diving helmets for professionals,back up batteries and accumulators for electric doors toprevent them from blocking or crushing people,batteries and accumulators used for instrumentation orin various types of measurement and instrumentationequipment and batteries and accumulators used inconnection with solar panel,photo-voltaic,and otherrenewable energy applications.Industrial batteries andaccumulators also include batteries and accumulatorsused in electrical vehicles,such as electric cars,wheel-chairs,bicycles,airport vehicles and automatic transportvehicles.In addition to this non exhaustive list of exam-ples,any battery or accumulator that is not sealed andnot automotive should be considered industrial.(10)Examples of portable batteries and accumulators,whichare all-sealed batteries and accumulators that an averageperson could carry by hand without difficulty and thatare neither automotive batteries or accumulators norindustrial batteries or accumulators,include single cellbatteries(such as AA and AAA batteries)and batteriesand accumulators used by consumers or professionals inmobile telephones,portable computers,cordless powertools,toys and household appliances such as electrictoothbrushes,razors and hand-held vacuum cleaners(including similar equipment used in schools,shops,restaurants,airports,offices or hospitals)and any batteryor accumulator that consumers may use for normalhousehold applications.(11)The Commission should evaluate the need for adaptationof this Directive,taking account of available technicaland scientific evidence.In particular,the Commissionshould carry out a review of the exemption from thecadmium ban provided for portable batteries and accu-mulators intended for use in cordless power tools.Exam-ples of cordless power tools are tools that consumersand professionals use for turning,milling,sanding,grinding,sawing,cutting,shearing,drilling,makingholes,punching,hammering,riveting,screwing,polishing or similar processing of wood,metal and othermaterials,as well as for mowing,cutting and othergardening activities.(12)The Commission should also monitor,and MemberStates should encourage,technological developmentsthat improve the environmental performance of batteriesand accumulators throughout their entire life cycle,including through participation in a Community eco-management and audit scheme(EMAS).(13)In order to protect the environment,waste batteries andaccumulators should be collected.For portable batteriesand accumulators,collection schemes achieving a highcollection rate should be established.This means settingup collection schemes so that end-users can discard allwaste portable batteries and accumulators conveniently(1)OJ L114,27.4.2006,p.9.(2)OJ L182,16.7.1999,p.1.Directive as amended by Regulation(EC)(14)It is desirable for Member States to achieve a high collec-tion and recycling rate for waste batteries and accumula-tors so as to achieve a high level of environmentalprotection and material recovery throughout the Com-munity.This Directive should therefore set minimumcollection and recycling targets for Member States.It isappropriate to calculate the collection rate on the basisof average annual sales in preceding years,so as to havecomparable targets for all Member States that areproportionate to the national level of battery and accu-mulator consumption.(15)Specific recycling requirements should be established forcadmium and lead batteries and accumulators in orderto attain a high level of material recovery throughoutthe Community and to prevent disparities betweenMember States.(16)All interested parties should be able to participate incollection,treatment and recycling schemes.Thoseschemes should be designed to avoid discriminationagainst imported batteries and accumulators,barriers totrade or distortions of competition.(17)Collection and recycling schemes should be optimised,in particular in order to minimise costs and the negativeenvironmental impact of transport.Treatment and recy-cling schemes should use best available techniques,asdefined in Article2(11)of Council Directive96/61/ECof24September1996concerning integrated pollutionprevention and control(1).The definition of recyclingshould exclude energy recovery.The concept of energyrecovery is defined in other Community instruments.(18)Batteries and accumulators can be collected individually,by way of national battery collection schemes ortogether with waste electrical and electronic equipment,by way of national collection schemes set up on thebasis of Directive2002/96/EC.In the latter case,as anobligatory minimum treatment requirement,batteriesand accumulators should be removed from the collectedwaste electrical and electronic equipment.After theirremoval from the waste electrical and electronic equip-ment,batteries and accumulators are subject to therequirements of this Directive,notably they count forachieving the collection target and are subject to recy-cling requirements.(19)Basic principles for financing the management of wastebatteries and accumulators should be set at Communitylevel.Financing schemes should help to achieve highcollection and recycling rates and to give effect to theprinciple of producer responsibility.All producers asdefined by this Directive should be registered.Producersshould finance the costs of collecting,treating and recy-cling all collected batteries and accumulators minus theprofit made by selling the materials recovered.However,under certain circumstances,the application of deminimis rules to small producers could be justified.(20)The provision of information to end-users on the desir-ability of separate collection,the collection schemesavailable and end-users'role in the management of wastebatteries and accumulators is necessary for successfulcollection.Detailed arrangements should be made for alabelling system,which should provide end-users withtransparent,reliable and clear information on batteriesand accumulators and any heavy metals they contain.(21)If,in order to achieve the objectives of this Directive,and,in particular,to achieve high separate collectionand recycling rates,Member States use economic instru-ments,such as differential tax rates,they should informthe Commission accordingly.(22)Reliable and comparable data on the quantities ofbatteries and accumulators placed on the marketcollected and recycled are necessary for monitoringwhether the objectives of this Directive have beenachieved.(23)Member States should lay down rules on the penaltiesapplicable to infringements of the provisions of thisDirective and ensure that they are implemented.Thosepenalties should be effective,proportionate and dissua-sive.(24)In accordance with paragraph34of the Interinstitutionalagreement on better law-making(2),Member States areencouraged to draw up,for themselves and in the inter-ests of the Community,their own tables,which will,asfar as possible,illustrate the correlation between thisDirective and the transposition measures and to makethem public.(25)The measures necessary for the implementation of thisDirective should be adopted in accordance with CouncilDecision1999/468/EC of28June1999laying downthe procedures for the exercise of implementing powersconferred on the Commission(3).(26)Since the objectives of this Directive namely protectingthe environment and ensuring the proper functioning ofthe internal market cannot be sufficiently achieved bythe Member States and can therefore,by reason of thescale or effects of the action,be better achieved at Com-munity level,the Community may adopt measures,inaccordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set outin Article5of the Treaty.In accordance with the prin-ciple of proportionality,as set out in that Article,thisDirective does not go beyond what is necessary in orderto achieve those objectives.(27)This Directive applies without prejudice to Communitylegislation on safety,quality and health requirements andspecific Community waste management legislation,inparticular Directive2000/53/EC of the European Parlia-ment and of the Council of18September2000on end-of-life vehicles(1)and Directive2002/96/EC.(28)As regards producer responsibility,producers of batteriesand accumulators and producers of other productsincorporating a battery or accumulator are responsiblefor the waste management of batteries and accumulatorsthat they place on the market.A flexible approach isappropriate to enable financing schemes to reflectdiffering national circumstances and to take account ofexisting schemes,particularly those set up to complywith Directives2000/53/EC and2002/96/EC,whileavoiding double charging.(29)Directive2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and ofthe Council of27January2003on the restriction of theuse of certain hazardous substances in electrical andelectronic equipment(2)does not apply to batteries andaccumulators used in electrical and electronic equip-ment.(30)Automotive and industrial batteries and accumulatorsused in vehicles should meet the requirements of Direc-tive2000/53/EC,in particular Article4thereof.There-fore the use of cadmium in industrial batteries and accu-mulators for electrical vehicles should be prohibited,unless they can benefit from an exemption on the basisof Annex II to that Directive,HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:Article1Subject-matterThis Directive establishes:(1)rules regarding the

歐盟公告新電池指令: 2006/66/EC歐盟委員會已於2006年9月26日正式公告第2006/66/EC號「電池、蓄電池、廢電池及廢蓄電池」指令，並自2008年9月26日起廢止現行之第91/157/EEC號「含有某些危險物質之電池和蓄電池」指令。
此指令主要目的為調和各會員國關於電池、蓄電池、廢電池及廢蓄電池之措施，減少電池、蓄電池、廢電池及廢蓄電池對環境造成的負面衝擊，因而促進地球環境之維護。
為了達成上述目標，此指令提出禁止銷售某些含有危害物質電池之措施，同時也規定會員國應制定回收體系以達成電池回收目標之最高標準。
另外，此指令也規定生產者有關電池標示以及電池易於拆除之設計…等責任。
歐盟各會員國必須於2008 年9月26日以前將此指令轉化為其國內法令。
此指令的重點如下：一、指令目的根據第一條規定，此指令目的在規範並禁止含有危害物質的電池及蓄電池置於市場銷售，並具體訂定收集、處理、回收及處置廢電池及廢蓄電池之相關規範，進而提高廢電池及蓄電池之回收及再利用率。
二、適用範圍根據第二條規定，此指令適用於所有類型的電池及蓄電池，無論其形狀、體積、重量、材質成分或使用。
三、禁止銷售根據第四條規定自2008 年9月26日起，會員國應禁止下列電池置於市場銷售：鎘含量超過0.002 ﹪的攜帶式電池或蓄電池(使用於緊急警報系統、醫療設備以及無線電動工具者除外)；汞含量超過0.0005 ﹪的所有電池或蓄電池(汞含量小於2﹪的鈕扣電池除外)。

會員國應達成下列「最小回收率」(minimum collection rates)：應於2012年9月26日之前達成25﹪(按當年度回收量除以電池過去三年之平均銷售量計)。
應於2016年9月26日之前達成45﹪。
五、處理與回收根據第十二條規定，會員國應確保於2009年9月26日之前，生產者或第三者應以保護人類健康及地球環境為前提，建立廢電池及廢蓄電池之「處理與回收」(Treatment and Recycling)體系，關於「處理與回收」的規範須符合此指令附件三之規定。
电池指令电池指令电池由于含铅、镉、汞、酸、碱等污染物质，当其任意丢弃在环境中，随着时间推移外层金属的锈蚀，有害物质就会慢慢地从电池中溢出，进入环境，并通过生物链作用，直接或间接进入人体，并在人体内长期蓄积难以排出，从而损害神经、造血功能、免疫能力下降、肾脏和骨骼受害等。
因此，对废旧电池的收集与处置非常重要，如果处置不当，可能对生态环境和人类健康造成严重危害。
目前，电池潜在的污染已引起社会各界的广泛关注，世界上各国对电池产品采取的态度，除控制有害物质浓度外，主要以回收为主。
当前，越来越多的国家开始行动起来，制定和实施电池有害物质限制、废旧电池回收处理以及再生利用相关的政策和规定。
欧盟电池指令在欧洲，为达到更高的环保水平，欧洲标准化委员会（EC）引用了数项安全指令，加强控制在不同产品中的化学物质含量。
1991年3月18日，欧盟第91/157/EEC号《含有某些危险物质之电池和蓄电池》指令制定完成。
之后，欧盟委员会又于1999年1月5日公布了第98/101/EC号指令，该指令为第91/157/EEC号指令之修订版。
最近，欧盟委员会于2006年9月26日正式公告第2006/66/EC号《电池、蓄电池、废电池及废蓄电池》指令。
规定欧盟各国于2008年9月26日前将本指令转化为各国法律，并自2008年9月26日开始实施并同时废止原有的电池指令（91/157/EEC）及其修订条文（93/86/EEC和98/101/EEC），由单一项指令取代。
2006/66/EC是欧盟将推行一项与电池及蓄电池有关的新指令。
该指令旨在减少有害电池及蓄电池的产量，提高旧电池及蓄电池的回收、处理及循环再造率，以及向消费者提供资讯，鼓励他们购买较长寿和环保的电池。
电池指令与《报废电子电气设备指令》（WEEE）甚为相似，规定生产商须在有关部门登记，分销商有责任回收旧电池，以及每节电池或蓄电池须达到很高的循环再造率等。
此外，该指令要求电器的设计应能令电池易于拆除，以便消费者随时把旧电池交到回收点。
2006/66/EC出新修改指令2008/12/EC

此次修订EUP指令受权委员会采用措施对特定用能产品制定生态设计要求。
the EU’s 2006/66/Ec, a landmark for eco-friendly batteriesBattery products contain pollutants such as lead, cadmium, mercury, acids and alkali, which can be released into the environment when discarded improperly. considering their widespread use, their eventual disposal poses an eminent threat to the ecosystem and the health of people. to counter this, countries have established and implemented strict measures to limit the amount of hazardous substances found in batteries. Linked to battery recycling and reuse initiatives, these have successfully reduced environmental impacts and pushed manufacturers to reconsider the end of life part of their product cycle.tÜv rheinland’s testing services ensure that the batteries you produce or include in your products comply with the EU’s 2006/66/Ec battery directive – the highest standard in the market. Batteries that meet this norm demonstrate conformity with legally accepted thresholds of hazardous substances and match the precise quantified content targets for collection and recycling. Our experts can help harmonise safety and accountability of your batteries through proper labelling that lists provisions for disposal and demonstrates producer responsibility. We contribute to making uninterrupted power supply cleaner.2006/66/EC，电池环保风向标由于电池产品含铅、镉、汞、酸、碱等污染物质，当其任意丢弃在环境中，有害物质就会慢慢溢出，直接或间接对生态环境和人类健康造成严重危害，因此，越来越多的国家制定和实施相关措施限制电池中的有害物质。
