The European Commission has set high standards for the new EU Battery Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, "EU-Batt-R"): It considers it a "strategic imperative" to develop and manufacture batteries, cf. the associated draft regulation from December 2020.
Management of chemicals is covered by Art. 6, which includes a process to regulate hazardous substances used in batteries, duplicating the existing and well-established REACH restriction process set out in Annex XVII of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
The Batteries Regulation applies to all categories of batteries, including portable batteries, starting, lighting and ignition (SLI) batteries, light means of transport (LMT) batteries, electric vehicle (EV) batteries and industrial batteries that are placed on the EU market.
In line with the circularity ambitions of the European Green Deal, the Batteries Regulation is the first piece of European legislation taking a full life-cycle approach in which sourcing, manufacturing, use and recycling are addressed and enshrined in a single law.
The proposal seeks to introduce mandatory requirements on sustainability (such as carbon footprint rules, minimum recycled content, performance and durability criteria), safety and labelling for the marketing and putting into service of batteries, and requirements for end-of-life management.
10 December 2020 is geared towards modernising EU legislation on batteries in order to ensure the sustainability and competitiveness of EU battery value chains. The proposal is part of the European Green Deal and related initiatives, including the new circular economy action plan and the new industrial strategy.
Negotiations on the proposal for a new EU Regulation on sustainable batteries have finally concluded. On 10 July 2023, the Council of the European Union adopted the new Regulation concerning batteries and waste batteries (EU) 2023/1542 (the " Batteries Regulation ").

Today, the Council recognises that batteries are a key technology to drive the green transition, support sustainable mobility and contribute to climate neutrality by 2050. The Batteries Regulation starts to apply from 18 February 2024, from …
In this episode, we dig into step two of the supply chain: processing all those minerals into usable ingredients for batteries. Why are countries so keen on building giant processing facilities? And can we process all the minerals we need to fight climate change in a responsible way?
Chemicals management in batteries Introduction In December 2020, the European Commission presented the legislative proposal for modernising the current batteries legislation (Directive 2006/66/EU). Management of chemicals is covered by Art. 6, which
For the battery market, the number of pre-cursor, active material and recycling facilities – plus the investment required to feed the demand for EVs – is significant. "Standardization is the consistent solution," says OudeNijeweme. "Designing one, then building many identical battery assembly facilities is the answer to this challenge ...
The agreed rules will cover the entire battery life cycle, from design to end-of-life and apply to all types of batteries sold in the EU: portable batteries, SLI batteries (supplying power for starting, lighting or ignition of vehicles), light means of transport (LMT) batteries (providing power for the traction to wheeled vehicles ...
Today, the Council recognises that batteries are a key technology to drive the green transition, support sustainable mobility and contribute to climate neutrality by 2050. The Batteries Regulation starts to apply from 18 February 2024, from then onwards new obligations and requirements will gradually be introduced. Amongst others:
