New EU Battery Regulation Key Requirements
The EU Battery Regulation (EU 2023/1542) introduces comprehensive sustainability and safety requirements for batteries placed on the EU market. Key requirements include carbon footprint declarations, recycled content targets, performance and durability criteria, safety standards, labeling, and battery management system specifications.
Different battery categories have staggered implementation timelines. Companies exporting batteries to the EU need to establish carbon footprint accounting capabilities and prepare battery passport information.
