The new Regulation will replace the existing Batteries Directive from 2006. This new cradle-to-grave regulatory framework for batteries will require a lot of more detailed rules (secondary legislation) to be adopted from 2024 to 2028 to be fully operational.
The new Batteries Regulation will ensure that, in the future, batteries have a low carbon footprint, use minimal harmful substances, need less raw materials from non-EU countries, and are collected, reused and recycled to a high degree in Europe.
In line with the circular economy objectives of the European Green Deal, the new Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, adopted in July 2023, covers the entire lifecycle of batteries, from sourcing and manufacturing to use and recycling. The new regulation ensures that EU batteries are safe, sustainable and competitive.
In the current energy context, the new rules establish an essential framework to foster further development of a competitive sustainable battery industry, which will support Europe's clean energy transition and independence from fuel imports. Batteries are also a key technology that plays a central role in advancing EU's climate neutrality by 2050.
Regulating batteries helps to reduce and mitigate the associated environmental and health risks, ensuring that the batteries are sustainable. What is the new EU regulation on batteries?
Labelling requirements will apply from 2026 and the QR code from 2027.
