Part A. Portable secondary (rechargeable) batteries and accumulators

The capacity label of portable secondary (rechargeable) batteries and accumulators shall contain the following information:

1. (1)

   for portable secondary nickel-cadmium (NiCad), nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH), and lithium batteries and accumulators, the rated capacity as specified respectively in standards IEC/EN 61951-1, IEC/EN 60622, IEC/EN 61951-2, and IEC/EN 61960:

   1. (a)

      as an integer when the capacity is expressed in ‘mAh’, excluding portable secondary (rechargeable) batteries and accumulators intended for power tools application;

   2. (b)

      as a decimal number with one digit when the capacity is expressed in ‘Ah’ and as an integer when expressed in ‘mAh’, for all portable secondary (rechargeable) batteries and accumulators intended for power tools application;

   3. (c)

      with a level of accuracy required by standards IEC/EN 61951-1, IEC/EN 61951-2, IEC/EN 60622, and IEC/EN 61960 respectively;

2. (2)

   for portable secondary lead-acid batteries and accumulators the minimum value of the rated capacity within the sample specified in standard IEC/EN 61056-1:

   1. (a)

      as a decimal number with one digit when the capacity is expressed in ‘Ah’, excluding portable secondary (rechargeable) batteries and accumulators for power tools application; and

   2. (b)

      with a level of accuracy required by standard IEC/EN 61056-1.
