01
French DEEE and Battery Law Classification and Labeling Implementation Plan
(EEE, Portable Batteries, Photovoltaic Panels, Lamps, and Small Fire Extinguishers) The real-time plans and requirements for the Household Product Packaging Classification Labeling (HPCL) for these five product categories are consistent, and the Department of Ecological Organizations (DEO) approved the implementation of the HPCL to be implemented beginning by December 15, 2022, with an additional six-month extension to June 15, 2023, for the transition period.

Seven Essentials of Consumer Classification Rule Information
The Consumer Classification Rules information consists of the Triman symbol or the garbage can crossed with an X and the info-tri that gives a detailed description of the classification.
This information applies to any household product placed on the market.
In principle, information on the Consumer Classification Rules must be shown on the product and its packaging, or else on other documents provided with the product (instruction manuals, guarantee documents, etc.).
If the product contains a number of different product categories, these product categories must be detailed individually. For example, for televisions, power cords, and remote controls, the Info-tri should specifically identify each product category.
For EEE, portable batteries, photovoltaic panels and lamps, the common European symbol of a garbage can with an X can be used in place of the Triman logo symbol.
The replacement of the Triman Logo with the X'd garbage can symbol in the message of the French Consumer Classification Code for the French recycling label does not remove the obligation to display the X'd garbage can symbol on the product as required by the European Union. (In other words, for EEE, portable batteries, photovoltaic panels and lamps, the packaging recycling labeling that replaces the Triman Logo with the crossed-out bin symbol still requires the additional printing of the crossed-out bin symbol required by the European Union if the product is required to display the crossed-out bin symbol according to the European Union's regulations).
For EEE devices that use portable batteries or light bulbs, a single Consumer Classification Rule message is sufficient (the device and its battery are recyclable, the lamp and its bulb are recyclable, etc.)

04
Is it better to use a bin with a crossed out X or Triman symbols for the recycling symbols?
For waste with the crossed-out X bin symbol (the European regulatory symbol), like batteries, the law allows you to choose either of two symbols (the crossed-out X bin or the Triman symbol). Consumers favor the crossed-out bin because of its clear identification, and we strongly recommend that you choose the crossed-out garbage can over the Triman (for batteries, EEE, lamps, and photovoltaic panels).
05
Where is the Consumer Classification Rule labeling required to be printed/displayed?
Depending on the space available and the condition of the product, the Consumer Classification Rule information may be displayed on the product, the packaging, the instruction manual or the producer's website.
