To respond to the growing demands, the EU has adopted a New Battery Regulation in July 2023, which replaces the previous Battery Directive from 2006 (EU Battery Directive 2006/66/EC). We summarized the Directive and its key changes for you. REGULATION (EU) 2023/1542 of July 12, 2023 on batteries and waste batteries
A new EU battery regulation, Regulation 2023/1542, was recently approved, and it will not only replace Battery Directive 2006/66/EC but also introduce requirements in many new areas of sustainability and safety of batteries and battery-operated products.
The regulation started to apply on 18 February 2024. Until 18 August 2025, the regulation will coexist with the Battery Directive (2006/66/EC). But from 18 August 2025, the regulation will be the main EU legislation for batteries since the Battery Directive is repelled to a great extent at that date.
The EU Battery Regulation will have a large impact on manufacturers of battery-operated products, appliances, and vehicles, as well as on the whole battery industry. Intertek has more than 50 years of experience evaluating all kinds of batteries, serving developers, manufacturers, and application experts worldwide.
The measures are described in Article 7 and include several stages: Depending on the battery type and level, different deadlines apply for implementation, which are to start from 2025. Details on the technical implementation will be gradually accompanied by delegated acts or implementing acts of the EU.
All parts are not applicable for all batteries. Instead, the regulation defines five battery categories depending on how the battery is used. Some requirements are only applicable for some battery categories. Requirements associated with a new CE conformity assessment of batteries are introduced in the Regulation.
