PRIMARY BATTERIES –
Part 6: Guidance on environmental aspects
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60086-6 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 35:
Primary cells and batteries.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
35/1436/FDIS 35/1440/RVD

the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 60086 series, published under the general title Primary batteries,
can be found on the IEC website.

The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be

INTRODUCTION
Every product has some effect on the environment during its manufacture, distribution, use,
and disposal. These effects can range from slight to significant; they can be short-term or
long-term; and they can occur at the global, regional, or local level. Provisions in battery
standards can significantly influence the extent of these environmental effects.
Environmental stewardship in the battery industry embraces a multiplicity of activities, from
design, manufacturing, transportation, storage, and recycling, to disposal of the batteries.
There are often questions on the applicability of regulations to batteries. This document
provides guidance on regulations applicable and not applicable to batteries, as well as
procedures for measuring environmental characteristics.

4 General considerations
4.1 Overview
This document takes into account environmental aspects and considerations as follows.
4.2 General
Attempts to address a given environmental effect might have consequences at any or all of
the stages of a battery's life cycle. Nevertheless, a battery's environmental effects should be
considered when standards are developed. Provisions in standards should reflect generally
accepted environmental improvement strategies, including pollution prevention and resource
conservation.
4.3 Intent of this document
Requirements should reflect generally accepted environmental regulations or national laws
and should not reflect environmental improvement strategies of specific countries or regions.
A review of environmental aspects in battery standards should be considered when innovative
technology provides environmental benefits.
Provisions in standards that are too prescriptive might stifle innovation and environmental
improvements. Consideration about such negative effect is necessary for amendment of
standard.
4.4 Battery selection
Whether or not the selection of the electrochemical system is considered to be on
