# Commission Decision of 26 June 2007 amending for the second time Decision 2005/263/EC authorising Member States to adopt certain derogations pursuant to Council Directive 94/55/EC with regard to the transport of dangerous goods by road (notified under document number C(2007) 2587) (Only the Danish, English, Finnish, Portuguese and Swedish texts are authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (2007/447/EC), Division: RO-LT 15.4

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Subject Collection of used batteries for disposal or recycling.
Reference to the Annex of the Directive Annexes A and B.
Content of the Annex to the Directive Special Provision 636
Reference to the national legislation The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment 2007 part 1.
Content of the national legislation Permits the following alternative conditions for Special Provision 636 of Chapter 3.3:
Used lithium cells and batteries (UN 3090 and UN 3091) collected and presented for carriage for disposal between the consumer collecting point and the intermediate processing facility, together with other non-lithium cells or batteries (UN 2800 and UN 3028), are not subject to the other provisions of ADR if they meet the following conditions:
They shall be packed in IH2 drums or 4H2 boxes conforming to the packing group II performance level for solids;
Not more than 5 % of each package shall be lithium and lithium ion batteries;
The maximum gross mass of each package shall not exceed 25 kg;
The total quantity of packages per Transport Unit shall not exceed 333 kg;
No other dangerous goods may be carried.
Comments Consumer collection points are usually in retail outlets and it is not practical to train large numbers of people to sort and package used batteries in accordance with ADR. The UK system would operate under guidelines set by the UK Waste and Resources Action Programme and would involve the supplying suitable ADR compliant packaging and appropriate instructions.
