The new EU battery regulation has come into force
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and of the Council on batteries and waste batteries is now in effect. This groundbreaking regulation brings changes to Directive 2008/98/EC and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, and repeals Directive 2006/66/EC.
New Regulations, New Start Date
The commencement of this regulation in all EU member states is on 18th February 2024. However, the role- and battery-specific obligations under Article 96 of the Battery Regulation (BattVO), as well as numerous other provisions scattered throughout the regulation text, will only take effect on 18th August 2024.
Get prepared: only twelve months left
Although there are twelve months left until the role- and battery-specific obligations come into effect, now is the ideal time to intensively prepare for the new sustainability, labeling, and safety requirements. For all affected economic actors, this presents an opportunity to adapt their processes and ensure that they comply with the requirements of this groundbreaking regulation.
We understand that implementing new regulations can be challenging. If you need assistance to ensure that your company meets the new requirements of the EU Battery Regulation, we are here to help.
