The end product safety standards EN 60065 & EN 60950-1 consider the compliance if lithium-ion rechargeable battery meets EN 62133. EN 62133 asks for some rating markings and WEEE and battery Directives also ask for recycle symbols. For individual selling on battery cells and packs, they must comply with all markings. The users can reference to those markings for safe use of those components. For end products such as clock radios, wireless headphones, etc., the battery is bulit into the unit and not allowed to be replaced or repaired by the customers. The markings are not useful for the customers so those components are often NOT included all the markings. Is it considered not to fully comply with EN 62133? Should the end product be sufficient to comply with the markings specified by EN 60065 or EN 60950-1 only?
Since the end products have to be separated from household waste and the rechargeable battery are required to be separated from household waste and normal EEE waste, how can it be presented to the customers without leading the confusion?
