A UK Waste Batteries Regulations identifier allocated to a producer under regulation 28 or regulation 45.
The UK Waste Batteries Regulations use battery producer registration number for the identifier allocated to a producer under regulation 28 or regulation 45. The term matters because producer-responsibility workflows often need a stable registration reference before linking scheme participation, evidence notes, or downstream treatment and export records.
This page is limited to the UK Waste Batteries Regulations source layer. The registration number should not be confused with product identifiers, battery passport identifiers, operator approvals, or evidence-note numbers unless another source explicitly connects those objects.

UK Waste Batteries Regulations definition; use as a source-specific UK waste-battery operator or registration term rather than a general EPR actor definition.
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.
In implementation, the registration number helps connect a UK producer to compliance records, scheme relationships, and evidence workflows. It can support audit trails for who is responsible, but the registration number is not evidence that recycling occurred and does not by itself prove that a battery was collected, treated, exported, or recycled.
For Minespider, this is an actor-registration anchor. It helps keep producer identity stable across records, while treatment operators, exporters, evidence notes, and recycling outcomes remain separate evidence objects.
