Article: means an object which during production is given a special shape, surface or design which determines its function to a greater degree than does its chemical composition.

3 2) .. 2 .. The main function of batteries is to provide energy. The voltage is produced through a chemical reaction of two unlike materials, such as the positive and negative plates, which are immersed in an electrolyte. Without the chemical reaction, no voltage would be produced. Hence the chemical composition is very important for the function. The shape and design of the battery ensure that the reaction takes place in a controlled way and that the energy is provided continuously, at the time needed and in a useable form. Thus, also the shape and design of the battery are important for the function.

4 1) The electrolyte as such cannot provide any energy outside the battery. Filled into other containers without the specific design of a battery, they would also fail to provide energy. The container part' of the battery, emptied of the electrolyte, is also not able to fulfill its function. However, there are different types of electrolytes which could be used in one battery casing. 2) The electrolyte is not released from the battery, thus the container does not have a function of delivering' it and does not control its release 3) The electrolyte and the battery casing are normally discarded together.

5 3.. As a consequence, the battery should be regarded as an article containing a preparation as an integral part. There are different types of batteries and some of them may not fulfill all criteria in the same way. For example in car batteries the electrolyte may in certain cases be exchanged and both elements are discarded separately. Also the shape and design can vary to a very large extent. However, the principle of functioning is the same and thus, all batteries should be treated in the same way.. (2) 1( ). reach 1 ( ) .. (2) .. 1) . 7 1 .. 7 .. 4. Registration of substances in articles is required when all conditions listed under Article 7(1) are fulfilled: The substance is intended to be released17 under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use The total amount of the substance present in all articles with intended release produced or im726.

6 Ported by one actor exceeds 1 tonne per year The substance has not been registered for that use (see Chapter 7). As a general rule, the term intended to be released' implies that a certain function or quality of an article is connected to the release of a substance or preparation. Thus, all substance releases which occur because of aging of articles, because of wear and tear or as a result of accidents, are no in tended releases.. 2) . 7 1 .. The requirements in Article 7(1) relate to substances as such or in preparations that are intended to be released under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions during the service life of the articles.

7 As a general rule, the intention of the article producer in relation to the release of the substance is relevant. So, the question Is it wanted that the substance is separated from the article during its use? should be answered with yes. Thus, intended releases are deliberately planned and have a specific function for the article, which is not the main function of the object1 but an additional quality. If a release is incidental, this is not an intended release.. 5. 3) .. / .. A release of substances from articles is intended when: The release contributes to a quality or minor function of the article, or, in other words the, release contributes to an added value' of the article, which is not directly connected to the end use function.

8 Example: Intended release in this sense is: Release of perfume from a perfumed eraser (function = to erase, added value / function for convenience = quality to smell good), fade-out Jeans: it is intended that the dyes are released from the Jeans with every washing.. 4) .. A release occurs during removal of 'impurities' from a semi-finished or finished article during its production process (before marketing as a finished article). Example: A size is added to a fabric to improve its process ability. Sizes are released during further wet processing of the textile.

9 A release occurs during use or maintenance of the article and is meant to improve the product quality in a wide sense or the safety as a side effect but the released substances do not contribute to the function of the article. Example: Washing of clothes by the consumer where remnants of different chemicals (dye, softener, starch etc.) from processing are removed over some washing cycles 6.. A release of substances is an unavoidable side-effect of the functioning of the article. Without the release, the article would not work, however it is not intended that the release really happens.

10 Examples: wear and tear of materials under conditions with high frictions, break linings, tire .. A release of substances formed during chemical reactions of any kind Examples: Release of substances from articles catching fire, releases that are unavoidable for achieving the en use function, like ozone released from copy machine, release of substances chemicals reactions caused by accidents or product malfunction, such as combustion products from articles catching fire .. A release is incidental, could be forced by undue use or in an accident Examples: release of substances from a thermometer which it drops and breaks.
