Producer definition

Pursuant to Czech and EU legislation, a producer or importer is any legal entity or individual authorized to do business, importing and marketing batteries or accumulators in the Czech Republic. The definition does not take into account the amount or weight of batteries and does not distinguish whether batteries or accumulators are sold separately or as part of electrical appliances or transportation vehicles.

 

Overview of obligations of producers

Any producer or importer marketing batteries or accumulators in the Czech Republic is primarily obliged to:

    • Properly label batteries,
    • Comply with the prohibition of launching portable batteries containing mercury (Hg) or cadmium (Cd) on the market or into circulation,
    • Be registered in the List of Producers of the Ministry of the Environment,
    • Duly inform battery end users and its business partners,
    • Provide for the take-back (depending on the type of batteries – portable, industrial, or automotive batteries).

 

However, the list of obligations of producers is much longer. We will be glad to help our clients, or anyone earnestly interested in cooperation gain thorough knowledge of this field.
