1. This Regulation lays down requirements on sustainability, safety, labelling, marking and information to allow the placing on the market or putting into service of batteries within the Union. It also lays down minimum requirements for extended producer responsibility, the collection and treatment of waste batteries and for reporting. 2.
Renew Europe therefore welcomes that the new regulation for batteries and waste batteries, as agreed today, sets very clear and sustainable targets on the production, the use of materials and the collection and recycling of waste batteries. MEP Karin Karlsbro (Liberalerna, Sweden) Renew Europe shadow rapporteur says on the agreement reached:
Furthermore, it is stated that sustainability and transparency requirements will be considered, taking into account the carbon footprint of battery manufacturing, the ethical sourcing of raw materials and the security of supply in order to facilitate re-use, repurposing and recycling of batteries.
By 2030, the recovery levels should reach 95 % for cobalt, copper, lead and nickel, and 70 % for lithium; requirements relating to the operations of repurposing and remanufacturing for a second life of industrial and EV batteries; labelling and information requirements.
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.
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 new Batteries Regulation will be a driver of change in the European Union how the energy storage system industry thinks about procurement and managing batteries at the end of life. That''s the view of Kevin Shang, senior energy storage analyst at Wood Mackenzie, who spoke to Energy-Storage.news last month at the Energy Storage Summit EU, hosted in …
The EU adopted a new regulation that strengthens sustainability rules for batteries and waste batteries on 10 July 2023. The regulation will regulate the entire life cycle of batteries – from production to reuse and recycling – and ensure that they are safe, sustainable and competitive.
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 …
In electric and hybrid vehicles Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), batteries play a central role and are in the spotlight of scientific community and public opinion.
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 …
life, and IEC 63338 provides high-level guidance on the safe and environmentally benign re-use of LiBs. Additionally, the EU Batteries Regulation contains requirements for second-life LiBs, including for first-life data to be made available in the battery management system (BMS) to facilitate re-use. Outside of the UK and Europe, UL 1974 ...

In a recent proposal for a regulation, the European Commission (EC) has introduced recycling as a key element for the development of an industry for electric vehicle (EV) and especially the battery industry (European Union: European Commission, 2020) is supposed to be a central part of the European Union (EU) industrial strategy covering economic, social …
Waste batteries. The Regulation extends producer responsibility for the management of their batteries at the end-of-life stage. Battery producers shall finance the cost of collecting, treating and recycling all collected batteries. These rules are intended to maximise separate collection of waste batteries and to ensure that all collected ...
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:
This method is suitable for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which have a longer service life than ternary lithium batteries. LFP batteries can be charged for over 2,000 times and used for seven to eight years, while the theoretical charging times of ternary lithium batteries are around 800.
