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.
Performance and Durability Requirements (Article 10) Article 10 of the regulation mandates that from 18 August 2024, rechargeable industrial batteries with a capacity exceeding 2 kWh, LMT batteries, and EV batteries must be accompanied by detailed technical documentation.
Companies selling batteries in the EU/EEA, as well as companies selling products containing batteries, and companies supplying raw materials for batteries – will need to prepare for the new battery requirements, or they, and their supply webs, will face significant disruption.
Battery cells or battery modules made available for end use without further incorporation or assembly into larger battery packs or batteries will be regarded as batteries under the regulation, subject to the requirements for the most similar battery category.
In July 2023, a new EU battery regulation (Regulation 2023/1542) was approved by the EU. The aim of the regulation is to create a harmonized legislation for the sustainability and safety of batteries. The regulation started to apply on 18 February 2024. Until 18 August 2025, the regulation will coexist with the Battery Directive (2006/66/EC).
Labelling requirements will apply from 2026 and the QR code from 2027. The regulation amends Directive 2008/98/EC on waste management (see summary) and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 on market surveillance and compliance of products (see summary). It repeals Directive 2006/66/EC on the disposal of spent batteries (see summary) from 30 June 2027.
