Implementation of the Battery Law (BattG)
The guideline in 2006 / 66 / of the EC "about batteries and rechargeable batteries as well as old batteries and old rechargeable batteries" was implemented in Germany in the Batteriengesetz (BattG).
The BattG limits the application of cadmium in future and the changed regulations concerning the marking of batteries and rechargeable batteries are valid. In future, for example, uniform specifications of the capacity are obligatory. Also the symbol of a crossed waste container must be displayed on batteries.
It is considered that the regulations of the BattG will become effective in stages. The main part of the regulations will become effective on the 1st of December, 2009. At this time the BattVO (Batterienverordnung) will expire.
