This standard is developed in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This standard was proposed by China Electrical Equipment Industrial Association.
This standard is under the jurisdiction of SAC/TC 69 National Technical Committee on Lead-acid Batteries of Standardization Administration of China and SAC/TC 297 National Technical Committee on Environmental Standardization for Electrical and Electronic Products and Systems of Standardization Administration of China.
Technical specification for recycling waste lead acid battery
1 Scope
This standard specifies the operational technology and management requirements for the collection, storage, transportation, and transfer of waste lead acid battery (hereinafter referred to as waste battery) in social circulation field.
This standard is applicable to the recycling and management of waste batteries from “social sources”.
This standard is not applicable to the recycled waste batteries and the used lead acid batteries that are returned to the factory for reuse.

Note: no electrolyte can be added in such a battery or battery pack under normal conditions
3.4
vented lead acid battery
a lead acid battery equipping one or more exhaust devices capable of precipitating gas products on the battery cover
3.5
waste (used) lead acid battery
lead acid battery generated in production, daily life, and other activities that have lost their original use value or been discarded or abandoned though still having use value
3.6
collect
the process of gathering, classifying and sorting waste lead acid batteries
3.7
temporary storage
a storage and preservation method implemented by the temporary storage site, meeting the specified conditions for the temporary storage of waste batteries
3.8

a storage and preservation method implemented by centralized storage site, meeting the specified conditions such as the location, area, facilities and storage time for the centralized storage of waste battery
3.9
transport
the process of transporting waste batteries from the temporary storage site to the centralized storage site using special transportation equipment, including collection, distribution, handling, loading and unloading, etc.
3.10
special transport equipment
a transportation equipment that is windproof, rainproof, anti-corrosive and anti-leaking
3.11
transfer
the process of transferring the collected waste batteries from the centralized storage site after classifying, packaging, storage and transportation
3.12
secondary lead
an enterprise, holding the hazardous waste business license, is specialized in the harmless recycling of waste batteries with waste lead acid batteries as raw materials
3.13
producers
manufacturer for lead acid batteries
3.14
extended producer responsibility
the extension of the resource and environmental responsibility of producers and importers for their products from the production process to the whole life cycle of product design, circulation consumption, recycling and waste disposal
3.15

from the social circulation field, featured by scattered sources, unfixed production and complex types, and corresponding to concentrated sources in the industrial field
4 Requirements
4.1 General requirements
4.1.1 Producers shall, in accordance with the requirements of Implementation scheme for extended producer responsibility system, establish a recycling system of “sale-one-recycle-one”. They shall adopt the mode of independent recycling, joint recycling or entrusted recycling, and recycle waste batteries through the network established at the end of consumption by the producer’s own sales channels or professional recycling enterprises.
4.1.2 Producer shall, in accordance with the requirements of Implementation scheme for extended producer responsibility system, conduct a unified “information identification” for all lead-acid battery products produced (imported) by it and ensure that the information identification has a unique correspondence with the battery products.
4.1.3 Producers, sales outlets, and secondary lead enterprise shall jointly establish and improve the closed-loop reverse logistics recycling system for waste batteries (see Figure 1).
