Article 1 — Subject matter and scope
1. This Regulation lays down requirements on sustainability, safety, labelling, marking and information to allow the placing on the market or putting into service of batteries within the Union. It also lays down minimum requirements for extended producer responsibility, the collection and treatment of waste batteries and for reporting. 2. This Regulation imposes battery due diligence obligations on economic operators placing batteries on the market or putting them into service. It also lays down requirements for green public procurement when procuring batteries or products into which batteries are incorporated. 3. This Regulation applies to all categories of batteries, namely portable batteries, starting, lighting and ignition batteries (SLI batteries), light means of transport batteries (LMT batteries), electric vehicle batteries and industrial batteries, regardless of their shape, volume, weight, design, material composition, chemistry, use or purpose. It shall also apply to batteries that are incorporated into or added to products or that are specifically designed to be incorporated into or added to products. For the purposes of Chapter II, where batteries placed on the market can be considered to fall under more than one category, they shall be deemed to fall under the category to which the strictest requirements apply. 4. In cases where battery cells or battery modules are made available on the market for end use, without any further incorporation or assembly into larger battery packs or batteries, they shall be considered to have been placed on the market as batteries for the purposes of this Regulation, and the requirements for the most similar battery category shall apply. In cases where it can be considered that such battery cells or battery modules fall under more than one battery category, they shall be deemed to fall under the category to which the strictest requirements apply. 5. This Regulation does not apply to batteries that are incorporated into or that are specifically designed to be incorporated into: (a) equipment connected with the protection of Member States’ essential security interests, arms, munitions and war material, with the exclusion of products that are not intended for specifically military purposes; and (b) equipment designed to be sent into space. 6. Chapters III and VIII of this Regulation do not apply to equipment specifically designed for the safety of nuclear installations, as defined in Article 3 of Council Directive 2009/71/Euratom (42).
1. 本条例规定关于可持续性、安全性、标签、标记和信息的要求，以便电池在欧盟境内投放市场或投入使用。本条例还规定关于生产者延伸责任、废弃电池收集和处理以及报告的最低要求。 2. 本条例对将电池投放市场或投入使用的经济运营者施加电池尽职调查义务。本条例还规定在采购电池或已纳入电池的产品时的绿色公共采购要求。 3. 本条例适用于所有类别的电池，即便携式电池、起动照明点火电池（SLI电池）、轻型运输工具电池（LMT电池）、电动汽车电池和工业电池，无论其形状、体积、重量、设计、材料成分、化学性质、用途或目的如何。本条例还适用于已纳入或添加至产品、或专门设计用于纳入或添加至产品的电池。 就第二章而言，当投放市场的电池可被认为属于一个以上类别时，应视为属于适用最严格要求的类别。 4. 当电池单体或电池模块在市场上提供供最终使用，而不进一步纳入或组装成更大的电池组或电池时，就本条例而言，它们应被视为作为电池投放市场，并适用最相似电池类别的要求。当可认为此类电池单体或电池模块属于一个以上电池类别时，应视为属于适用最严格要求的类别。 5. 本条例不适用于已纳入或专门设计用于纳入以下设备的电池： (a) 与保护成员国根本安全利益相关的设备、武器、弹药和战争物资，但不包括并非专门用于军事目的的产品；以及 (b) 为送入太空而设计的设备。 6. 本条例第三章和第八章不适用于专为核设施安全而设计的设备（按理事会 Directive 2009/71/Euratom 第3条定义）。
