ANNEX III Method for the calculation of the rate of recycled cadmium content 1. The rate of recycled cadmium content is calculated as follows: , [mass %] where: R Cd = calculated rate of recycled cadmium (Cd) from a recycling process for the purpose of Article 12(4) of Directive 2006/66/EC [in mass %]; m Cd output = the mass of Cd in output fractions accounting for recycling is the share of Cd contained in these fractions which results from the recycling of nickel-cadmium batteries and accumulators per calendar year [in tonnes]. m Cd input = the mass of Cd in the input fraction entering the battery recycling process is defined as the yearly average Cd content of waste nickel-cadmium batteries and accumulators multiplied by the input mass of nickel-cadmium batteries and accumulators per calendar year [in tonnes]. 2. In the output fraction the cadmium (Cd) contained in slag at the end of the recycling process is not accounted for the rate of recycled cadmium content.
