Discover the key codes and standards governing battery safety and compliance in building and fire regulations. Learn about the various battery applications, types, and chemistries, along with safety guidelines and model codes ensuring safe battery usage.
WBE 2025 is set to take place from August 8-10th at the China Import and Export Fair Complex to showcase the rapid growth of the battery and energy storage industry. The event will cover 165,000 sq.m and host over 2,000 exhibitors in 6,000 booths.
In a rapidly evolving landscape where sustainability and safety are paramount, the European Union has introduced groundbreaking regulations to govern the battery industry. Regulation 2023/1542, approved in July 2023, heralds a new era of standardised practices aimed at promoting environmental responsibility and enhancing consumer safety.
Starting from 2025, the Batteries 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.
In view of the strategic importance of batteries and in order to minimise their adverse environmental effects, in 2020, the European Commission published a proposal for a new
From August 2024, CE marking will be mandatory for batteries to confirm compliance with the Europe-wide requirements for performance, durability and safety. From February 2027, some battery categories must be equipped with a digital battery passport. A QR code will provide you with comprehensive information about the battery and its production.
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
The emphasis is now shifting toward a more decentralized energy infrastructure, where a mix of dispersed and low-carbon, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, fuel cell, and battery installations – collectively called Distributed Energy Resources (DER)—are integrated with the large centralized power plants in the power grid.
Purpose of Review This article summarizes key codes and standards (C&S) that apply to grid energy storage systems. The article also gives several examples of industry efforts to update or create new standards to remove gaps in energy storage C&S and to accommodate new and emerging energy storage technologies. Recent Findings While modern battery
Recognizing the strategic significance of batteries within the EU, the European Parliament, on June 14th, 2023, passed the EU batteries and waste batteries regulation, commonly referred to as the Eu New Batteries Regulation. This legislation mandates that only electric vehicle batteries and rechargeable industrial batteries equipped with a
This document provides an overview of current codes and standards (C+S) applicable to U.S. installations of utility-scale battery energy storage systems. This overview highlights the most impactful documents and is not intended to be exhaustive. Many of these C+S mandate compliance with other standards not listed here, so the reader is

Clean energy manufacturing – including batteries – is a priority industry under the economic resilience and security stream. Domestic battery manufacturing capability will be necessary to deliver economic resilience and security for Australia in our transition to net zero. As global demand for batteries increases, domestic battery
The world is going to need many more batteries using different chemistries and technologies as demand for energy storage continues to grow and we are encouraged that the 10 guiding principles make reference to lead-based batteries that will continue to play a significant role in achieving the UN sustainability goal to provide access to clean and affordable energy for all.
This article provides a critical reflection on the new EU legislation, analysing the content, opportunities, and challenges as it seeks to transform the battery industry by promoting sustainability, circular economy principles, and extended producer responsibility across the supply chain. 1 Although the regulations cover a wide range of
In view of the strategic importance of batteries and in order to minimise their adverse environmental effects, in 2020, the European Commission published a proposal for a new regulatory framework for batteries and waste batteries, aiming to establish minimum sustainability requirements for all batteries placed on the EU internal market.

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.
We evaluate, test and certify virtually every type of battery available — including lithium-ion battery cells and packs, chargers and adapters — to UL Standards as well as key international, national and regional regulations for safety,

Through their impact on energy access, batteries unlock significant improvements in health, education and productivity. Improvements in energy access over the next decade could drive an estimated sevenfold increase in stationary battery capacity in the region, to 83 GWh.4 Stationary battery capacity in Africa could grow by 22% annually to 2030, due to demand from energy

Improving Australia''s access to batteries will be essential for building Australia''s economic resilience as Australia transitions to net zero, and diversifying and modernising Australia''s industrial base. For this reason, the National Battery
Pushed by increasingly stringent CO₂ emission performance standards, production capacity of lithium-ion battery cells is developing rapidly within the EU-27 and could rise from 44 gigawatt hours in 2020 to approximately 1 200 by 2030.
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.
Compared with the voluntary standards that have been used to verify the social and environmental performance of mining and battery manufacturers (MacInnes et al., 2017; Sauer, 2021), the regulations provide strong mechanisms for governing reporting, verification, and compliance.
Amongst others: Starting from 2025, the Batteries 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.
Although the EU battery regulations are relatively quiet on trade and investment, they are part of a broader geopolitical environment that has become increasingly concerned about the security of energy and critical mineral supply chains (Petitjean and Verheecke, 2023; Riofrancos, 2023; Torjesen, 2024).
For many articles and chapters, the battery regulation directs the EC to prepare delegated acts, guidance or clarifications. Secondary legislation is expected for carbon footprint calculation methodologies, recycling efficiency and material recovery calculation methodologies, removability, replaceability and many more.
ensure that the monitoring covers the critical stages of the EU battery value chain. Data should include in particular actual battery production, measured in gigawatt hours, and the domestic production of the main raw and advanced materials needed to deliver the current and future generations of batteries.
