Further description of the product Mercury-containing button cells 3. Information on the use of the Currently, there are three types of button cell batteries that contain mercury: zinc air, silver oxide and alkaline. product These batteries contain mercury in small amounts (typically 0.1-2%) and the purpose of mercury in the cell is to prevent the build-up of hydrogen gas. The mercury acts as a barrier to the production of hydrogen and as such prevents the cell swelling and becoming damaged. Figure 1 – Cross Section of Zinc Anode Button Cell and Zinc Air Button Cell (European Commission, 2014) Range of mercury content/consumption per unit product - 0.1 – 2 weight-% (button cells with intentionally added mercury) - 0.0005 weight-% (button cells without intentionally added mercury) Button batteries are used for powering high drain devices such as watches, calculators, and hearing aids. 4. Information on the availability of EU mercury-free (or less-mercury) Main alternatives: Mercury-free zinc air batteries alternatives Mercury free versions are commercially available for all applications of the main types of button cells (lithium, silver, oxide, alkaline and zinc air). The most frequently used types make use of zinc air technology (European Commission, 2014).

  • Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products
    Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) developed ‘chemSHERPA’ [kémʃéərpə] as a new information transfer scheme for chemicals in products throughout their supply chains. METI hopes that the dissemination of chemSHERPA may contribute to reduce the workload of both providers and recipients of the information. From the beginning of the development of chemSHERPA, METI has been in communication with international bodies such as the IEC and the IPC, etc., with the aim of developing chemSHERPA into not only a Japanese standard but also an International standard. To make it a de-facto standard, METI has introduced this scheme to international organizations and governments of other countries for their active use. The Joint Article Management Promotion Consortium (JAMP) is a governing body for chemSHERPA from April 2016 and see a shift to chemSHERPA. We believe many companies are preparing towards implementing chemSHERPA. Based on the efforts mentioned above, the following companies and company groups have agreed with the dissemination of chemSHERPA, and METI will continue to work with JAMP and companies to spread the use of chemSHERPA to internal as well as external supply chains as needed.(Please contact us if any company or company group has interest in putting its name below.) It should be noted, the use of the provision of data entry support tools is free of charge in principle with the aim of promoting wider use of chemSHERPA.

Accordingly JAMP has a plan to finish renewing the substances list in the existing JAMP scheme by the end of March of 2018. We believe many companies will begin advance preparations towards implementing chemSHERPA. Based on the efforts mentioned above, the following companies and company groups have agreed with the dissemination of chemSHERPA, and METI will continue to work with companies to spread the use of chemSHERPA to internal as well as external supply chains.(Please contact us if any company or company group has interest in putting its name below.)
