The first set of regulation requirements under the EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 will come into effect on 18 August 2024. 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
To that end, starting from 2025, the Regulation will gradually introduce declaration requirements, performance classes and maximum limits on the carbon footprint of electric vehicles, light means of transport (such as e-bikes and scooters) and rechargeable industrial batteries.
1 INTRODUCTION. The UPS should meet the general requirements set out in regulation IV/13 of SOLAS 1974, as amended, and in resolution A.694(17), as applicable, and should also comply with the following requirements.. 2 GENERAL. 2.1 An uninterruptable power supply system (UPS) is defined as a device which for a specific period of time supplies continuous power to radio
This study explores the influence of cascade utilization and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulation on the closed-loop supply chain of power batteries. Three pricing decision models are established under the recycling model of the battery closed-loop supply chain are established in this paper: benchmark model, EPR regulatory model disregarding cascade
The EU battery regulation introduces updated requirements to enhance the sustainability and safety of batteries and battery-powered products across their lifecycle. Here are some of its major highlights:
BS EN50171 is the European standard outlines general requirements for central safety power supply systems for an independent energy supply to essential safety equipment. The standard specifies the essential performance criteria and requirements for central power supply systems (CPSS) which are used to support emergency lighting for commercial, industrial and

In this audit, we assessed whether the Commission has been effective at promoting a European industrial policy on batteries. In particular, we examined the policy objectives and intervention tools set out in the Commission''s 2018 action plan as well as the progress in its implementation.
Companies must identify, prevent and address social and environmental risks linked to the sourcing, processing and trading of raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and natural graphite contained in their batteries. The regulation includes performance, durability and safety criteria which cover restrictions on hazardous substances like
battery chargers without power supply function; (d) placed on the market before 1 April 2025 solely as a service part or spare part for replacing an identical external power supply placed on the market before 1 April 2020, under the condition that the service part or spare part, or its packaging, clearly indicate ''External power supply to be used exclusively as spare part for'' and
requirements for external power supply (Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/1782), which was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 25th October 2019. The new regulation will enter force 20 days after the publication of the bulletin thus entering into force on 14th November 2019 and will be implemented on 1st April 2020, replacing the current regulation
—(1) These Regulations apply to an external power supply that is placed on the market or put into service. (2) Nothing in these Regulations applies to— (a) active power over Ethernet injectors; (b) battery chargers without power supply function; (c) docking stations for autonomous appliances; (d) external power supplies for medical devices;
Under the new EU Batteries Regulation, certain stages of the battery life cycle are particularly challenging to integrate and monitor in the battery passport. These include the raw material sourcing phase, where tracking the provenance of critical materials like lithium or cobalt is complex due to global supply chains and ethical concerns. Additionally, the end-of-life stage,
The Batteries Regulation is the first European legislation that considers the full life cycle of batteries, including sourcing, manufacturing, use, and recycling, all in a single law. This aligns with the European Green Deal''s circularity goals and promotes the sustainability of batteries throughout their life cycle. EPBA is pleased with the
(1) The Emergency source of electric power required and shall be capable of simultaneously supplying the following services, including any starting currents and for the following periods:- (a) for a period of 3 hours the emergency lighting required under the Merchant Shipping (Life-Saving Appliances) rules, 1990. (b) for a period of 18 hours, emergency lighting
To that end, starting from 2025, the Regulation will gradually introduce declaration requirements, performance classes and maximum limits on the carbon footprint of electric vehicles, light means of transport (such as e
The EU Battery Regulation contains articles about the restriction of substances, carbon footprint, recycled content, battery performance and durability, removability, safety of stationary battery energy storage systems, labelling and marking, SOH information related to BMS and

The new EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 entered into force on 17 August 2023 and covers the whole lifecycle of batteries from production to reuse and recycling. While the Battery Regulation is already in force, further legal documents will be published in the coming years specifying certain aspects of the implementation (see timeline below
Batteries are a crucial element in the EU''s transition to a climate-neutral economy. On 10 December 2020, the European Commission presented a proposal designed to modernise the EU''s regulatory framework for batteries in order to secure the sustainability and competitiveness of battery value chains.
Companies must identify, prevent and address social and environmental risks linked to the sourcing, processing and trading of raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and natural
The regulations cover all types of batteries, regardless of their shape, volume, weight, material composition or use; and all appliances into which a battery is or may be incorporated. There are

In line with the circularity ambitions of the European Green Deal, the Batteries Regulation is the first piece of European legislation taking a full life-cycle approach in which sourcing, manufacturing, use and recycling are addressed and enshrined in a single law.
The manufacturer must draw up certain technical documentation. The manufacturer shall operate an approved quality system for the production, inspection and testing of the finished product and shall be subject to surveillance. This applies only to some types of batteries.
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.
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.
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.
The aim of the proposed Regulation is that batteries placed on the EU market are sustainable, circular, high-performing and safe all along their entire life cycle, that they are collected, repurposed and recycled, becoming a true source of valuable raw materials.
