For lead-acid batteries and accumulators input into the recycling process the following information shall be reported: Recycling efficiency of a battery recycling process (lead-acid batteries) Calendar year Facility ( 1 ) Name Street City Country Contact person E-mail Tel. Description of the complete battery recycling process ( 2 ) : Input to the complete battery recycling process ( 3 ) Description of waste batteries and accumulators EWC code (optional) Mass ( 4 ) Overall composition of input m input t/a Element or compound mass % [t/a] Elements or components, which are not part of the input fractions Impurities ( 8 ) Outer casing of battery pack Water (H 2 O) Other Elements or components, which are part of the input fractions Lead (Pb) Sulphuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) Plastics Other m input , total ( 5 ) m output , Pb ( 5 ) m output , total ( 5 ) Recycling efficiency (R E ) ( 6 ) : m output /m input mass % Degree of recycled Pb (R Pb ) ( 7 ) : m Pb output /m Pb input mass % 2. For the individual steps of the recycling process of lead-acid batteries and accumulators the following information shall be reported: Process step 1 Calendar year Facility ( 9 ) Name Street City Country Contact person E-mail Tel. Description of the individual process step: Input (waste batteries or waste batteries fractions) ( 10 ) Description of input EWC code (optional) Mass t/a Output (1) Intermediate fractions ( 11 ) Description of fraction EWC code (optional) Mass ( 12 ) Further treatment Recipient ( 13 ) Further process step t/a Name 1_1 1_2 1_3 1_4 1_5 1_6 1_7 1_8 1_9 1_10 (2) Final output fractions accounting for recycling ( 14 ) Element or compound ( 15 ) Fraction (non-waste) containing the element or compound Concentration of the element or compound in the fraction Mass of the element or compound, which results from batteries input Fate of the fraction mass % t/a m output , Pb m output , total ( 1 ) Facility treating the waste batteries and accumulators after collection, eventual sorting and preparation for recycling. ( 2 ) Description of the complete battery recycling process, no matter if carried out by one or several facilities (including a description of the individual recycling steps and their output fractions). ( 3 ) Description of waste batteries and accumulators as received after collection, eventual sorting and preparation for recycling. ( 4 ) Wet mass of waste batteries and accumulators as received after collection, eventual sorting and preparation for recycling (the mass of separated impurities and outer casing of battery packs as well as the water content as specified in the field ‘overall composition’ shall be subtracted for the calculation of the recycling efficiency). ( 5 ) Data transferred from Annex IV(2). ( 6 ) Calculated according to the formula for RE based on data reported according to Annex IV(2). ( 7 ) Calculated according to the formula for R Pb based on data reported according to Annex IV(2). ( 8 ) Examples of impurities include plastic, ebonite chips, items/pieces of iron, fibres from electronic scrap, molten aluminium. ( 9 ) Facility carrying out an individual process step. ( 10 ) For step 1 = the same as input into the complete battery recycling process. For subsequent steps = intermediate fractions from the previous process step. ( 11 ) Intermediate fractions = fractions destined for subsequent step(s) in the recycling process. ( 12 ) Resulting from the batteries input (dry mass). ( 13 ) Facility to which the intermediate fraction is handed over or — if the further process step is carried out internally — the same as 1. ( 14 ) Final output fractions accounting for recycling = that have ceased to be waste and that will be used for their original purpose or for other purposes without undergoing further treatment, but excluding energy recovery. See also examples in Annex I(5). ( 15 ) Elements and compounds if they were component of the batteries input (waste battery). See special provisions and examples in Annex I(5). For lead (Pb) in slag see the provision in Annex II(2). Lead must be entered as ‘Pb’.
