  "text": "recyclers shall determine the share of different types of waste battery or accumulator present in an input fraction by conducting a sorting analysis of the fraction (by continuous or representative sampling),\nthe chemical composition of each type of waste battery or accumulator present in the input fraction is determined on the basis of the chemical composition of new batteries and accumulators when placed on the market or on the basis of available data of recyclers or on information provided by the battery producers,\nrecyclers shall determine the overall chemical composition of the input fraction by applying the chemical composition analysis to the types of batteries or accumulators present in the input fraction.",
