Battery Compliance in Switzerland

Collection and Recycling Arrangements in Switzerland

Switzerland is not a member of the EU or the EEA and therefore has no obligation to follow EU policy. However, Switzerland has adopted similar rules on batteries. The Ordinance on the Reduction of Risks linked to Chemical Products (ORRChem) is aligned with Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC.

SCIEX is a member of the WEEE compliance compliance scheme SWICO in Switzerland. The fee that SCIEX pays to meet equipment treatment requirements, also ensures the proper treatment of batteries integrated to SCIEX equipment.
