The guidelines look into requirements coming out of the Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC and Regulation (EU) 1103/2010 on capacity marking of portable rechargeable batteries. In addition, this document also looks into other EU legislation such as the RoHS, WEEE, Low Voltage and Medical Equipment Directives.
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.
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.
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.
New battery technologies and chemistries such as flow batteries and high temperature batteries (eg. sodium sulfur, sodium nickel chloride) are also included. 90% of the European standards are of IEC origin. This committee is responsible for developing European cell and battery standards and is the mirror committee of the IEC TC21/SC21A.
Key Provisions and Impact of the New EU Battery Regulatory Explained 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.
EU Battery Regulation explained
The regulation introduces requirements for an individual electronic battery passport for each industrial battery (with a capacity of more than 2 kWh), EV battery, and LMT battery (e.g., an e-bike battery). The electronic record should, among other data, include general information about the battery (e.g., indication of the battery manufacturer ...
