A partial ban on portable nickel-cadmium batteries that excludes batteries used in medical equipment, emergency lighting and alarm systems, and cordless power tools.部分禁止携带镍镉电池，排除电池用于医疗设备，应急照明和报警系统，以及无绳电动工具。 However, the exemption for cordless power tools is subject to review after four years;然而，豁免无绳电动工具是受审查后4年;
Collection targets for spent portable batteries; and收集目标花费便携式电池;和
A ban on the disposal of untreated automotive and industrial batteries in landfill or by incineration.禁止未经处理的汽车和工业电池填埋或焚烧。
Member States had until 26 September 2008 to implement the provisions of the Batteries Directive, and the UK duly set out new rules in Statutory Instrument 2008/2164, the Batteries and Accumulators (Placing on the Market) Regulations 2008.会员国，直到2008年9月26日执行的规定，电池指令，英国正式提出了新的规则，法定文书二千一百六十四分之二千零八，电池和蓄电池（投放市场）规例2008年。 In accordance with the Batteries Directive, SI 2008/2164 also deals with technical requirements affecting the manufacture and the design of certain battery-powered equipment, including restrictions on the use of mercury and cadmium in new batteries, requirements for new appliances to be designed so that batteries can be easily removed, and new battery marking and labelling requirements.根据电池指令，司二千一百六十四分之二千○八还涉及技术要求影响到生产和设计的某些电池供电设备，包括限制使用水银和镉的新电池，需要的新设备的设计该电池可以很容易地删除，新的电池标记和标识要求。

Provisions in the Batteries Directive relating to waste batteries were transposed at a later date, in the UK, via the waste batteries and accumulators Regulations 2009.规定中的电池指令有关废物电池移调在稍后的日期，在英国，通过废物电池和蓄电池条例2009年。 These Regulations compliment SI 2008/2164 and came into force on 5 May 2009 (except for provisions on the prohibition on disposing of waste automotive and industrial batteries in a landfill or by incineration and the requirement for approval of battery treatment operators and exporters, which come into force on 1 January 2010; and obligations and rights of distributors and other economic operators in relation to portable batteries, which come into force on 1 February 2010).这些条例的恭维司二千一百六十四分之二千〇八和生效的2009年5月5日（除规定禁止对废物进行处置的汽车和工业电池在垃圾填埋场或焚烧和要求批准电池处理运营商和出口商，该来1月1日生效2010年和义务和权利的分销商和其他经济与便携式电池，开始生效2010年2月1日） 。

The waste batteries and accumulators Regulations 2009 set out requirements related to the collection, treatment and recycling of waste automotive, industrial and portable batteries.废物电池和蓄电池条例规定了2009年要求有关的收集，处理和回收废物的汽车，工业和便携式电池。 It includes producer responsibility requirements for those placing new batteries on the UK market and requirements for those selling new portable batteries, or collecting, treating, recycling or exporting automotive, industrial or portable batteries when they become waste.它包括生产者责任的要求对这些新的电池放置在英国市场，并要求这些销售新电池，或收集，处理，回收或出口汽车，工业或便携式电池当他们成为废物。 Traders should note that there are substantial differences in obligations depending on whether the batteries in question are automotive, industrial or portable; affected parties will need to be clear which type or types they deal with in order to establish how the Regulations affect them.贸易商应注意，有重大的差异，在义务取决于问题的电池是汽车，工业或便携式;受影响的各方将需要明确的类型，他们处理，以确定如何影响他们的条例。
