The new EU Batteries Regulation 2023/1542 covers the whole lifecycle of batteries from production to reuse and recycling. As a regulation and no longer a directive, the document applies the same rules to all EU Member States. It also sets out new obligations for manufacturers depending on the battery type, such as:
In line with the European Green Deal and the EU Circular Economy Action Plan, the EC designed a new battery regulation that not only aims to regulate waste batteries, but also considers the whole lifecycle of batteries from design, production, take-back, and disposal.
A battery producer is defined by the regulation as an importer, manufacturer, distributor, or other legal person that either: a. Is established in the EU, and manufactures batteries in the EU under its own name b. Is established in the EU, and has batteries manufactured under its own name to sell them in the EU c.
The new Regulation will replace the existing Batteries Directive from 2006. This new cradle-to-grave regulatory framework for batteries will require a lot of more detailed rules (secondary legislation) to be adopted from 2024 to 2028 to be fully operational.
The first EU legislation covering batteries and waste batteries, called the EU Directive on Batteries and Accumulators (2006/66/EC), came into effect in 2006. All 27 Member States transposed this into national legislation.
The EU has implemented a sweeping new regulation that imposes significant obligations on manufacturers, importers, and distributors of batteries in the European market. The EU battery regulation was adopted June 14, 2023, and it replaces the current batteries legislation, EU Directive 2006/66/EC Battery Directive.
However, battery manufacturing process steps and their product quality are also important parameters affecting the final products'' operational lifetime and durability.
