If you have obligations as a WEEE producer and your products contain batteries then it’s very likely you will also have obligations as a battery producer in the EU countries where you sell your products. The EU Directive 2006/66/EC (Battery Directive) and the associated national laws issued by the 27 EU Member States intend to contribute to the protection and preservation of the environment by minimizing the negative impact of waste batteries and accumulators.    Requirements to comply with EU Battery laws are similar to those for WEEE. They include registering as a producer with National Registers, reporting put on market and recycling quantities, providing information to end users and financing and organizing the take-back and recycling of waste batteries and accumulators.
