The Batteries Regulation is a new regulation that sets requirements for batteries and waste batteries placed in the EU market. It covers all types of batteries unless an exemption applies. In this guide, we explain when the regulation will begin to apply, and its differences from the prior Batteries Directive.
Here’s what you need to know about the key changes and requirements introduced by the EU Battery Regulation: Replacement of the Batteries Directive: The new regulation updates and expands the scope of the old Batteries Directive, which primarily focused on collection and recycling.
These include performance and durability requirements for industrial batteries, electric vehicle (EV) batteries, and light means of transport (LMT) batteries; safety standards for stationary battery energy storage systems (SBESS); and information requirements on SOH and expected lifetime.
