European Union will not use nickel-cadmium batteries in new standard wireless power tools

It is understood that the EU eur-lex website has issued a proposal to amend the battery directive to cancel the exemption for wireless power tools, that is, from January 1, 2016, the use of nickel-cadmium batteries in wireless power tools will be banned.

The EU Battery Directive (2006/66/EC) was implemented on September 26, 2008. Its main goal is to "minimize the negative impact of batteries, batteries, waste batteries, and batteries on the environment." The key provisions of the Directive impose restrictions on the listing of batteries and batteries containing harmful substances, as well as the collection, recycling, and disposal of batteries. Special regulations. According to Article 4(1)(b) of the Directive, portable batteries and accumulators with a cadmium content of more than 0.002% by weight are not allowed to be listed in the European Union. However, Article 4(3) of the battery directive states that this requirement does not apply to (a) emergency and alarm systems, including emergency lights; (b) medical equipment; and (c) portable batteries and batteries for wireless power tools. . That is, the cadmium content limit of the primary battery instruction is exempt from the portable battery and battery of the wireless power tool.

However, after the European Commission regularly investigated the conditions for exemption, on March 26, 2012, the European Commission adopted a proposal to amend the battery directive to cancel the exemption for wireless power tools. From January 1, 2016, the use of nickel-cadmium batteries in wireless power tools will be banned. In other words, as of January 1, 2016, the cadmium content of portable batteries and batteries for wireless power tools will not exceed 0.002% of the weight.

The adopted proposal will be released soon through the official gazette of the European Union. The issuance of this proposal will force manufacturers to adjust their products in the future to adapt to the European market. Manufacturers should pay great attention to this.
