Emergency-lighting producers prepare for battery regulations

In particular, suppliers who place packs of industrial nickel cadmium (NiCd) and self-contained emergency-lighting equipment to the UK market will be governed by the regulations and be required to provide a take-back service for such discarded batteries.
