Environmental battery compliance planning

When it matters

It matters when batteries or battery-containing products are placed on the EU market. Duties and dates vary by battery category, capacity, operator role, business size, delegated legislation, and transitional provisions.

Key considerations

  • Covers design, market placement, collection, and end of life.
  • Introduces phased labeling, sustainability, traceability, and passport duties.
  • Responsibilities differ among manufacturers, importers, and distributors.

Project preparation

  • Classify the battery and each operator responsibility.
  • Build traceable material, supplier, labeling, and sustainability records.
  • Maintain a timeline for delegated acts and phased dates.
