Commission Regulation (EU) No 493/2012 of 11 June 2012 laying down, pursuant to Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, detailed rules regarding the calculation of recycling efficiencies of the recycling processes of waste batteries and accumulators (Text with EEA relevance) (c. 493)

ANNEX II U.K. Method for the calculation of the rate of recycled lead content

1. The rate of recycled lead content is calculated as follows: U.K.

, [mass %]

where:

R_Pb

=

calculated rate of recycled lead (Pb) from a recycling process for the purpose of Article 12(4) of Directive 2006/66/EC [in mass %];

m_{Pb output}

=

the mass of Pb in output fractions accounting for recycling is the share of Pb contained in these fractions which results from the recycling of lead-acid batteries and accumulators per calendar year [in tonnes];

m_{Pb input}

=

the mass of Pb in the input fraction entering the battery recycling process is defined as the yearly average Pb content of waste lead-acid batteries and accumulators multiplied by the input mass of lead-acid batteries and accumulators per calendar year [in tonnes].

2. In the output fraction the lead (Pb) contained in slag at the end of the recycling process is not accounted for the rate of recycled lead content. U.K.

[F1 3. For the purposes of point 1, Directive 2006/66/EC is to be read as if “waste battery or accumulator” had the meaning given by Article 2(1)(4A).] U.K.
