A UK Waste Batteries Regulations term for an approved battery compliance scheme that can organise producer-responsibility duties for waste batteries.
Battery compliance scheme is a collective compliance route approved under regulation 49. It is not the same as a producer responsibility organisation, producer, approved treatment operator, exporter, or evidence note, but it links producers to reporting periods, evidence notes, approved operators, and downstream waste-battery management.

Direct UK regulation definition from the interpretation provision for waste-battery producer responsibility and collection/recycling obligations.

Reviewed public draft page. Aligns with battery stewardship operations policy: separates scope gates, approvals, collection, transport, processing, registration, refurbishment, and management-obligation evidence.
UK context: UK Waste Batteries Regulations defines this term in UKSI 2009/890. This is useful UK-side context, not an EU Battery Regulation definition.
Implementation records should capture scheme identifier, producer membership, registration record, reporting period, battery category, producer registration number, approved operator/exporter link, evidence note, collection/treatment obligation, and compliance status.
Battery compliance scheme is the scheme-routing control for UK producer-responsibility evidence. It should connect producers, registration numbers, periods, evidence notes, approved operators, and obligations so scheme membership is tied to actual waste-battery handling.
