Overview
EN 61429:1996/A11:1998 (CLC legacy) addresses the marking of secondary cells and batteries using the international recycling symbol ISO 7000-1135 and specifies the required indications related to European directives 93/86/EEC and 91/157/EEC. The amendment updated the title, scope and subclause 3.2 of the original EN to align marking requirements with regulatory expectations and practical recycling needs. The document has been converted in the CLC legacy system (2021) by DCLab NISOSTS and is also listed as SIST EN 61429:2001/A11:2001 in Slovenian holdings.
Key Topics
- Scope and amendment: Clarifies the scope of marking obligations for secondary cells and batteries and records specific changes to subclause 3.2.
- Symbol reference: Use of the international recycling symbol ISO 7000-1135 for consistent graphical identification.
- Regulatory linkage: Indications and references that support compliance with directives 93/86/EEC and 91/157/EEC, which govern labeling and end-of-life handling of batteries in the EU context.
- Applicable battery types: Covers secondary battery categories referenced by ICS codes such as acid secondary cells and batteries and alkaline secondary cells and batteries (ICS: 29.220.20, 29.220.30).
- Language and adoption: Document includes multilingual title and adoption details (EN language sets and Slovenian transposition).
Applications
This standard is practical for stakeholders across the battery lifecycle who need to implement clear, compliant marking:
- Manufacturers: Apply standardized recycling symbol and directive indications on battery products, packaging and datasheets to meet EU marking expectations.
- Design engineers: Integrate compliant symbols and labeling into product artwork and technical documentation.
- Compliance teams and auditors: Use the standard to verify that markings reference ISO 7000-1135 and cite the relevant EU directives for recycling and disposal.
- Waste management and recycling operators: Rely on consistent markings to identify recyclable secondary cells and batteries and to apply appropriate processing routes.
Related Standards
- ISO 7000-1135 - the graphical symbol for recycling referred to by EN 61429.
- Directive 93/86/EEC and Directive 91/157/EEC - EU directives cited for labeling and battery waste management.
- EN 61429 (original) - base standard to which A11 is an amendment.
- SIST EN 61429:2001/A11:2001 - national adoption/version noted in the Slovenian standard extract.
Adopting EN 61429:1996/A11:1998 supports regulatory alignment, improves consistency of recycling labelling, and helps manufacturers and supply-chain partners demonstrate conformity with EU battery marking and disposal expectations.
