Meaning of the battery symbols
Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out dustbin (see
illustration). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be dispo-
sed of in household waste. Batteries containing more than 0.0005%
mercury by mass, more than 0.002% cadmium by mass or more
than 0.004% lead by mass are also marked with the chemical name
of the pollutant below the dustbin symbol. The abbreviation „Cd“
stands for cadmium, „Pb“ for lead and „Hg“ for mercury.
