The new EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 has been in force since 2024, imposing significantly more stringent requirements on manufacturers, distributors and importers.
In addition to the familiar obligations, additional categories and stricter requirements are coming into force:
- New categories – e.g. for e-bike batteries and traction batteries
- CO₂ disclosure – mandatory from 2025
- QR code labelling – for full traceability of every battery
- Higher collection rates & recycling targets – stricter requirements for take-back and recycling
- Penalties – non-compliance can result in fines in the five-figure range and sales bans
Your obligations are increasing – and those who fail to act now risk significant financial and legal consequences.
