Amendment 1217Sven Giegold

Proposal for a regulationAnnex I – table – row 3

Text proposed by the Commission

2. Cadmium 1. Portable batteries, whether or not incorporated into appliances, shall not contain more than 0,002% of cadmium (expressed as cadmium metal) by weight.

CAS No. 7440-43-9 2. The restriction set out in point 1 shall not apply to portable batteries intended for use in:

EC No. 231-152-8 and its compounds (a) emergency and alarm systems, including emergency lighting;(b) medical equipment.

3. Batteries used in vehicles to which Directive 2000/53/EC applies shall not contain more than 0,01% of cadmium (expressed as cadmium metal) by weight in homogeneous material.

4. The restriction set out in point 3 does not apply to vehicles that benefit from an exemption on the basis of Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC.

CAS No. 7440-43-9 2.The restriction set out in point 1 shall not apply for portable batteries intended for use as spare parts in:

EC No. 231-152-8 and its compounds (a) emergency and alarm systems, including emergency lighting or

placed onto the market before [DATE - OJ insert date of application of the Regulation].3. Batteries used in vehicles to which Directive 2000/53/EC applies shall not contain more than 0,01% of cadmium (expressed as cadmium metal) by weight in homogeneous material.

4. The restriction set out in point 3 does not apply to vehicles that benefit from an exemption on the basis of Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC.

Or. en

Justification

It should be clear that the existing cadmium ban on portable batteries also applies to light means of transport batteries (they are considered portable batteries under current law, but the rapporteur introduces a separate definition for them). Furthermore, there is no more justification for the exemption for alarm systems and medical equipment, other than for spare parts, as alternatives without cadmium are available.

Amendment

2a. Lead Portable batteries, whether or not incorporated into appliances, shall not contain more than 0,01% of lead (expressed as lead metal) by weight.

CAS No. 7439-92-1EC No. 231-100-4 and its compounds

Or. en

Justification

Lead is still being used in certain portable batteries (e.g. ride-on toys, e-scooters). Collection and separate treatment is not sufficiently achieved, thus creating an environmental problem. Safer substitutes are available. Lead should therefore be phased out in portable batteries.

In particular, the electronic components (e.g. battery management units, safety units) and the cathode materials have to be accurately identified, as they may become the main contributor for the battery carbon footprint.

footprint shall be based on the bill of material, the energy, and auxiliary materials used in a specific plant to produce a specific battery model. Dedicated methodologies shall be established for each application and battery chemistry, to take into account differences in footprint, performances, functional unit and hotspots. In particular, for lithium-ion batteries the electronic components (e.g. battery management units, safety units), the raw materials and the cathode materials have to be accurately identified and assessed, as they may become the main contributor for the battery carbon footprint. The calculation methodology shall also identify the environmental hotspots for which secondary data will not be acceptable for the calculation of the carbon footprint.

Lower emission factors shall only be used where the economic actor can reliably demonstrate that their individual processes or energy supply are less carbon intensive than the country average. This shall be demonstrated via a direct connection to a renewable or lower carbon energy source or a contract demonstrating a temporal (in real time or at least every hour) and geographical link between the energy supply and the use by the economic operator.

Or. en

Justification

Certificates such as Guarantees of Origin alone should not be accepted as valid evidence for use of clean energy. The carbon footprint label must avoid a situation where battery producers can set up in regions with a high carbon intensive energy grid and buy their way to a low carbon footprint through certificates. This would penalise front-runners who invest in new renewable capacity and supply. It should instead encourage low-carbon manufacturing.

A portable battery model requires a new conformity assessment whenever a change of more than 0,1 g or 20 % mass, whichever is greater, to the cathode, anode or electrolyte is made. Batteries other than portable batteries require a new conformity assessment whenever the change made is substantial and there is a potential risk of the change in the battery performance or characteristics related to the requirements of Chapters II and III of this Regulation.

For large battery batches, the manufacturer, the authorised representative or the importer shall choose a statistically representative sample of batteries.

Justification

Copper and cobalt are often mined together. As such, both should be covered under due diligence, not least to avoid that cobalt, when mined as a by-product of copper mining, escapes the due diligence requirements. Moreover, material recovery targets are set for copper, so it should also be considered upstream as part of due diligence.

Proposal for a regulationAnnex XII – Part B – point 1 – point a a (new)


(aa) recycling of 85 % by average weight of nickel-cadmium batteries;

Or. en

Justification

According to the current directive, a recycling efficiency of 75% was set for nickel-cadmium batteries, to be reached in 2011. It is important to set a specific target here, as it would otherwise fall only under the general target of 50%. Cadmium is a highly toxic substance. Where its use is still allowed in batteries, a high-level of recycling should be achieved to reduce virgin inputs and waste. The target should be increased by 10% compared to the 2011

Or. en

Justification

The proposed material recovery targets are below what is technically feasible already today. The new battery regulation should not fall behind standards in other parts of the world. In China, official government guidance applicable since 1 January 2020 sets recovery rates for cobalt at 98%.
