UZB12.121European Directive 2006/66/EC (Batteries)
The declared VRLA Industrial Battery meets the requirements of DIRECTIVE 2006/66/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 6 September 2006 on batteries and accumulators and waste
batteries and accumulators.
VRLA Industrial Batteries, must be collected and sent for recycling at the end-of-life.
PULS distributes industrial batteries as an assembly for further processing in their DC-UPS systems. In
its role as a distributor of industrial batteries, PULS is therefore obliged to take back used batteries. The
disposal itself is carried out via the return system by the battery manufacturer.
The take-back obligation includes a free return of batteries in close proximity to the point of sales. PULS
offers its customers the service of a free take-back of all waste batteries at all PULS sales offices and also
