Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542

In July 2023, the 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. Over time, it will replace the Battery Directive (2006/66/EC) which has regulated batteries in the EU since 2006.

It is high time for manufacturers and importers of battery-operated products to review their products. Do their products in their current form really comply with the new requirements? What do manufacturers, importers or distributors need to take into consideration?

New legislation can be difficult to get your head around. Familiarize yourself with the requirements now in an easy-to-understand way! During this half-day course, our battery experts will cover:

• Background of the Battery Regulation
• What are the differences between the Battery Directive and the Battery Regulation?
• Overview of the regulated areas
• What requirements the EU wants to introduce and when
• CE marking of batteries
• Overview of standards available today
• Strategies for compliance

Course objectives

After the course, you will have knowledge of the requirements that are expected to apply to different categories of batteries and when these must be met. You will also have knowledge of how you can ensure that your product and battery comply with them

Who is the course aimed at?

The course is primarily aimed at those who work with the development and regulatory compliance of batteries and products powered by batteries. The course may also be of interest to those who work as quality managers, in purchasing or sales or with other regulatory issues.
