As battery technology rapidly evolves and finds widespread application, the EU has introduced new battery regulations (2023/1542) aimed at enhancing the environmental and safety standards of battery products. The regulation includes a series of requirements such as control of hazardous substances, carbon footprint, CE conformity assessment, labeling requirements, and due diligence, with phased implementation.
On August 18, 2023, the "European Union Battery and Waste Battery Regulations" officially came into effect. The regulation mandates that electric vehicle batteries, light transportation vehicle batteries, and industrial charging batteries with a capacity greater than 2 kWh, in the EU market, must, at the earliest starting from 2025, provide battery carbon footprint reports compliant with the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and include statements and labels. Additionally, they must undergo third-party audit certification. Battery products that do not meet these requirements will be prohibited from entering the European Union market.
On August 18, 2023, the "EU Battery and Waste Battery Regulations" officially came into effect, clearly stipulating a set of mandatory compliance requirements for all battery products placed on the EU market (excluding those used for military and aerospace purposes). These requirements include limits on hazardous substances in batteries, minimum standards for electrochemical performance and durability parameters, and safety parameter requirements for stationary battery energy storage systems. Providing these parameters requires battery testing in accordance with EU standards.
On August 18, 2023, the "EU Battery and Waste Battery Regulations" officially came into effect simultaneously in all member states. The regulations aimed at guiding the battery industry towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable direction. The new battery regulations impose mandatory requirements for all types of batteries (except those used for military and aerospace purposes) placed on the EU market. It also entails a series of corporate obligations and requires companies to affix the CE mark through compliance assessment procedures.
