65 GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR REUSE AND REPURPOSING OF SECONDARY CELLS AND
66 BATTERIES
68 FOREWORD
69 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization
70 comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is
71 to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical
72 and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International
73 Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and
74 Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical
75 committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this
76 preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the
77 IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization
78 for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
79 organizations.
80 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
81 international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has
82 representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
83 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC
84 National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical
85 content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are
86 used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
87 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC
88 Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications.
89 Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication
90 shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
91 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide
92 conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not
93 responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.
94 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual
95 experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury,
96 property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs
97 (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this
98 IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
99 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced
100 publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
101 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the
102 subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
103 rights.
104 International Standard IEC XXXXX has been prepared by subcommittee XX: TITLE, of IEC
105 technical committee XX:XXX.
106 The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

126 INTRODUCTION
127 Based on the principles of life cycle thinking (LCT) and environmentally conscious design (ECD),
128 secondary battery reuse and repurposing are means to reduce raw material consumption.
