No. 283/2014 - European Union (Batteries and Accumulators) Regulations 2014 and S.I.

The Site contains two sections. The Site is publicly accessible and contains general information about us and the Regulations and the public register of Producers. There is a restricted log-in section that is for Producers to view their information and submit registration applications and other information to us. The terms applicable to your use of the Site depend on whether you are a general visitor or a Producer. Please be advised that the materials contained on (and the publications provided within) the Site are not intended to provide, and do not constitute or comprise, advice on any particular matter.
