For rechargeable batteries (secondary batteries) there are also limit values for arsenic (As).
The method is based on the "Battery Industry Standard Analytical Method. For the determination of Mercury, Cadmium and Lead in Alkaline Manganese Cells". The determination is made with ICP-MS.
The results are delivered in the form of a report.
