As part of the EU Green Deal and building on the Strategic Action Plan on Batteries, the European Commission proposed in 2020 a new regulation on batteries and waste batteries, enacted on 12 July 2023, and in force August 2023.
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.
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 regulation consists of five parts that affect different stakeholders in the battery value chain. 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.
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.
The Commission proposes that existing restrictions on the use of hazardous substances in all battery types are maintained, in particular for mercury and cadmium. Furthermore, as of 1 July 2024, rechargeable industrial and electric vehicles batteries with internal storage placed on the Union market will have to have a carbon footprint declaration.
