To respond to the growing demands, the EU has adopted a New Battery Regulation in July 2023, which replaces the previous Battery Directive from 2006 (EU Battery Directive 2006/66/EC). We summarized the Directive and its key changes for you. REGULATION (EU) 2023/1542 of July 12, 2023 on batteries and waste batteries
The measures are described in Article 7 and include several stages: Depending on the battery type and level, different deadlines apply for implementation, which are to start from 2025. Details on the technical implementation will be gradually accompanied by delegated acts or implementing acts of the EU.
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.
Depending on the battery type and level, different deadlines apply for implementation, which are to start from 2025. Details on the technical implementation will be gradually accompanied by delegated acts or implementing acts of the EU. Requirements for minimum shelf life and performance
The EU could account for 17% of that demand. The European Parliament and the Council adopted the new Batteries Regulation on 12 July 2023. This will minimise the environmental impact of this exponential growth in light of new socioeconomic conditions, technological developments, markets, and battery usages.
Industrial, traction and starter batteries (>2kWh) will be subject to the obligation from 2028. The first stage is an information obligation before the first minimum proportions apply from 2031, which must then be gradually increased until 2036. For LV batteries, the obligations will apply from 2033. Removability and replaceability
