Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 ／ 第VIII章 廃電池の管理
第61条 廃SLI電池、廃産業用電池及び廃電気自動車用電池の回収
Article 61 — Collection of waste SLI batteries, waste industrial batteries and waste electric vehicle batteries
1. SLI電池、産業用電池及び電気自動車用電池の生産者又は第57条(1)に従い任命された場合には生産者責任組織は、最終利用者に新しい電池を購入する義務又は自らから当該電池を購入していた義務を課すことなく、無料で引き取らなければならず、当該加盟国の領域内で初めて市場で提供したそれぞれの区分の、その性質、化学組成、状態、ブランド又は出所にかかわらず、すべての廃SLI電池、廃産業用電池及び廃電気自動車用電池が分別回収されることを確保しなければならない。そのために、生産者又は生産者責任組織は、最終利用者から、又は次の者と協力して設置した回収拠点を含む引取り及び回収システムから、廃SLI電池、廃産業用電池及び廃電気自動車用電池を引き取ることを受け入れなければならない。
1. Producers of SLI batteries, industrial batteries and electric vehicle batteries or, where appointed in accordance with Article 57(1), producer responsibility organisations, shall take back, free of charge and without an obligation on the end-user to buy a new battery, nor to have bought the battery from them, and shall ensure that all waste SLI batteries, waste industrial batteries and waste electric vehicle batteries regardless of their nature, chemical composition, condition, brand, or origin of the respective category that they have made available on the market for the first time in the territory of that Member State are collected separately. For that purpose, they shall accept to take back waste SLI batteries, waste industrial batteries and waste electric vehicle batteries from end-users, or from take-back and collection systems which include collection points set up by them in cooperation with:
(a)distributors of SLI batteries, industrial batteries and electric vehicle batteries in accordance with Article 62(1);
(b)SLI電池、産業用電池及び電気自動車用電池の再製造又は用途変更を行う事業者
(b)operators carrying out remanufacturing or repurposing of SLI batteries, industrial batteries and electric vehicle batteries;
(c)その操作から生じる廃SLI電池、廃産業用電池及び廃電気自動車用電池に関しては、第65条に規定する廃電気・電子機器処理施設及び使用済み自動車処理施設
(c)waste electrical and electronic equipment and end-of-life vehicle treatment facilities referred to in Article 65 for the waste SLI batteries, waste industrial batteries and waste electric vehicle batteries arising from their operations;
(d)第66条に従った公的機関又はそれに代わって廃棄物管理を行う第三者
(d)public authorities or third parties carrying out waste management on their behalf in accordance with Article 66.
加盟国は、第1段落(a)から(d)までに規定するエンティティが、生産者又は第57条(1)に従い任命された場合には生産者責任組織と契約を締結した場合にのみ、廃SLI電池、廃産業用電池及び廃電気自動車用電池を回収できることを求める措置を採択することができる。
Member States may adopt measures to require that the entities referred to in the first subparagraph, points (a) to (d), may collect waste SLI batteries, waste industrial batteries and waste electric vehicle batteries only if they have concluded a contract with the producers or, where appointed in accordance with Article 57(1), producer responsibility organisations.
廃産業用電池が私的な非商業的使用者の敷地において事前の解体を必要とする場合、当該廃電池を引き取る生産者の義務は、当該廃電池の解体及び回収に関連するいかなる費用も当該使用者が負担する結果となってはならない。
Where waste industrial batteries require prior dismantling at the premises of private, non-commercial users, the obligation of the producer to take back those waste batteries shall not result in any costs related to the dismantling and collection of those waste batteries being borne by those users.
2. 第1項に従い講じられた引取りの取決めは、人口規模及び密度、廃SLI電池、廃産業用電池及び廃電気自動車用電池の予想量、最終利用者にとってのアクセス可能性及び近接性を考慮して、加盟国の全領域を網羅しなければならず、廃SLI電池、廃産業用電池及び廃電気自動車用電池の回収及びその後の管理が採算のとれる地域に限定されてはならない。
2. The take-back arrangements put in place in accordance with paragraph 1 shall cover the whole territory of a Member State taking into account population size and density, expected volume of waste SLI batteries, waste industrial batteries and waste electric vehicle batteries, accessibility for and proximity to end-users, not being limited to areas where the collection and subsequent management of waste SLI batteries, waste industrial batteries and waste electric vehicle batteries is profitable.
3. SLI電池、産業用電池及び電気自動車用電池の生産者又は第57条(1)に従い任命された場合には生産者責任組織は、次のことをしなければならない。
3. Producers of SLI batteries, industrial batteries and electric vehicle batteries or, where appointed in accordance with Article 57(1), producer responsibility organisations, shall:
(a)第1項に規定する引取り及び回収システムに、適用される安全要件を満たす廃SLI電池、廃産業用電池及び廃電気自動車用電池の分別回収のための適切な回収インフラを提供し、引取り活動に関して当該引取り及び回収システムに生じる必要な費用を負担すること。引取り及び回収システムにおける当該廃電池の回収及び一時保管のための容器は、当該回収拠点を通じて回収される可能性のある廃SLI電池、廃産業用電池及び廃電気自動車用電池の量及び有害性に鑑みて適切なものでなければならない。
(a)provide the take back and collection systems referred to in paragraph 1 with suitable collection infrastructure for the separate collection of waste SLI batteries, waste industrial batteries and waste electric vehicle batteries meeting the applicable safety requirements, and cover the necessary costs incurred by those take back and collection systems in relation to the take back activities; the containers for collection and temporary storage of such waste batteries at the take back and collection systems shall be suitable in view of the volume and hazardous nature of waste SLI batteries, waste industrial batteries and waste electric vehicle batteries that are likely to be collected through those collection points;
(b)分別回収インフラの保管容量並びに当該引取り及び回収システムを通じて通常回収される廃電池の量及び有害性に比例した頻度で、第1項に規定する引取り及び回収システムから廃SLI電池、廃産業用電池及び廃電気自動車用電池を回収すること
(b)collect waste SLI batteries, waste industrial batteries and waste electric vehicle batteries from the take back and collection systems referred to in paragraph 1 with a frequency that is proportionate to the storage capacity of the separate collection infrastructure and the volume and hazardous nature of waste batteries that are usually collected through those take back and collection systems; and
(c)provide for the delivery of waste SLI batteries, waste industrial batteries and waste electric vehicle batteries collected from end-users and from the take back and collection systems referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article to permitted facilities for treatment in accordance with Articles 70 and 73.
4. 本条第1項(a)から(d)までに規定するエンティティは、回収した廃SLI電池、廃産業用電池及び廃電気自動車用電池を、第70条に従った処理のため、第57条(8)に従い選定された廃棄物管理事業者に引き渡すことができる。そのような場合、本条第3項(c)に基づく生産者の義務は満たされたものとみなされる。
4. The entities referred to in paragraph 1, points (a) to (d), of this Article may hand over collected waste SLI batteries, waste industrial batteries and waste electric vehicle batteries to waste management operators selected in accordance with Article 57(8) with a view to their treatment in accordance with Article 70. In such cases, the obligation of producers pursuant to paragraph 3, point (c), of this Article shall be deemed to be met.
