EU Member States
This section describes the precautions for disposing of waste batteries in EU member
states and exporting batteries and/or devices with built-in batteries to EU member states.
Appendix 9.1 Disposal precautions
In EU member states, there is a separate collection system for waste batteries. Dispose of
batteries properly at the local community waste collection/recycling center.
The symbol shown in Figure App.11 is printed on the batteries and packaging of batteries
and devices with built-in batteries used for Mitsubishi programmable controllers.
Note: This symbol is for EU member states only.
The symbol is specified in the new EU Battery Directive (2006/66/EC) Article 20
“Information for end-users” and Annex II.
The symbol indicates that batteries need to be disposed of separately from other wastes.
