Ulwazi mayelana noMthetho wamabhethri:

Njengoba ezinye zezinto esizithumelayo zifaka phakathi amabhethri namabhethri aphinde ashajwe, sibophekile yi-Batteries Act (Batteriegesetz, “BattG”) ukukwazisa ngalokhu okulandelayo: Amabhethri namabhethri aphinde ashajwe kungenzeka angalahlwa nemfucuza yasekhaya, kodwa ubophekile ngokomthetho ukubuyisela amabhethri asetshenzisiwe namabhethri aphinde ashajwe. Amabhethri asetshenzisiwe angaqukatha izinto eziyingozi ezingalimaza imvelo noma impilo yakho uma engagcinwanga noma engalahlwanga kahle. Kodwa-ke, amabhethri aqukethe nezinto zokusetshenziswa ezibalulekile njenge-iron, i-zinc, i-manganese ne-nickel, futhi angaphinde asetshenziswe. Ngemva kokusebenzisa, ungabuyisela amabhethri kithi noma uwayise endaweni eseduze (isib. umthengisi, izindawo zokuqoqa zomphakathi, noma indawo yethu yokugcina impahla yokuthumela) mahhala. Ukuqoqwa ezindaweni zokuthengisa kukhawulelwe enanini elijwayelekile kubasebenzisi bokugcina, futhi kusebenza kuphela kumabhethri asetshenzisiwe ayingxenye noma abe yingxenye yohlu lomkhiqizo othengiswayo lapho njengamabhethri amasha.

Uphawu lwebhini elihlukaniswe nge-cross-out lusho ukuthi awukwazi ukulahla amabhethri namabhethri aphinde ashajwe kanye nemfucuza yasekhaya. Uzothola nezinhlamvu ezengeziwe ngezansi kwalokhu ezinezincazelo ezilandelayo:

• I-Pb: Ibhethri liqukethe i-lead
• I-CD: Ibhethri liqukethe i-cadmium
  
• I-Hg: Ibhethri liqukethe i-mercury

Ulwazi mayelana nemishini kagesi neye-elekthronikhi:

Sihlangabezana nezidingo zoMthetho Wemishini Kagesi Neye-elekthronikhi (i-Elektrogesetz, “i-ElektroG”) eJalimane, futhi njengekhasimende elibalulekile, sikweluleka ngalokhu okulandelayo:

Imfucuza yemishini kagesi neye-elekthronikhi ayikwazi ukulahlwa kanye nemfucuza yasekhaya. Abathengi bayadingeka ngokomthetho ukuqinisekisa ukuthi le mishini ilahlwa ngendlela efanele ngokwehlukana nemfucuza yasekhaya.
Ukuze kucace lokhu, yonke imikhiqizo kagesi neye-elekthronikhi esanda kuthengiswa inophawu lwebhini lamasondo elihlanganisiwe kusukela ngo-2005 ukuze ibonise ngokusobala ukusebenza kahle kwezinsiza kanye nokuvikelwa kwemvelo.

Unenketho yokuyisa imfucuza kagesi neye-elekthronikhi endaweni efanele yokuqoqwa eqhutshwa ngabathengisi noma omasipala.

Sicela ususe amabhethri namabhethri ashajwayo uma kungenzeka, bese uwalahla njengoba kuchaziwe ngaphansi kwe-“Information on the Battery Act”. Uma imishini iqukethe imidiya yokugcina idatha, kuzodingeka usule noma yiluphi ulwazi lomuntu siqu.
