Rechargeable battery types include lead -acid, lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride, and nickel-cadmium batteries. In 2018, lead -acid batteries (LABs) provided approximately 72 % of global rechargeable battery.
The EU Battery Regulation will supersede the Battery Directive 2006/66/EC by 18 August 2025, signifying a crucial advancement in regulatory enforcement. Unlike directives, which necessitate incorporation into national laws, regulations are directly enforceable across all member states. Which Battery Types are Covered in the Battery Regulation?
In July 2023, a new EU battery regulation (Regulation 2023/1542) was approved by the EU. The aim of the regulation is to create a harmonized legislation for the sustainability and safety of batteries.
The directive does not cover batteries used in equipment to protect EU countries' security or for military purposes, or in equipment designed to be sent into space. With some exceptions for portable batteries used in emergency and alarm systems or medical equipment.
The Batteries Regulation is a new regulation that sets requirements for batteries and waste batteries placed in the EU market. It covers all types of batteries unless an exemption applies. In this guide, we explain when the regulation will begin to apply, and its differences from the prior Batteries Directive.
In addition to the restrictions set out in Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and in Article 4 (2), point (a), of Directive 2000/53/EC, batteries shall not contain substances for which Annex I to this Regulation contains a restriction unless the conditions of that restriction are complied with. 2.
The European standardisation organisations CEN and CENELEC are currently drafting EN standards addressing performance, durability, safety, and sustainability for batteries, mandated by Standardisation request M/579 from 2021 (the 2021 version was based on a draft Regulation – an amendment is under preparation).
The Regulation replaces the EU Directive 2006/66/EC and requires relevant parties to prove that batteries entering into the EU market are eco-friendly and safe throughout their entire life cycle, starting from the production stage up to the recycling stage. 2035: 20% cobalt, 85% lead, 10% lithium and 12% nickel battery regulation

At present, there are many overlaps between existing regulations such as: Battery Directive, End-of-Live (ELV) Vehicles Directive and REACH. which can range from 40Ah in standard A segment cars to 100Ah in Premium C& D segment cars. Given >90% penetration of start-stop system in European cars as of Nov 2019, there is a growing demand for
batteries. The targets for recycling efficiency of lead-acid batteries are increased, and new targets for lithium batteries are introduced, in light of the importance of lithium for the battery value chain. In addition, specific recovery targets for valuable materials – cobalt, lithium, lead and nickel – are set to be achieved by 2025 and 2030.
In the absence of any harmonised standards, other safety standards can be used to assess the product''s safety such as the following: a. EN 62620 – Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes – Secondary lithium cells and batteries for use in industrial applications. b.
early as 2006, the EU introduced the Battery Directive 2006/66/EC, which was subsequently amended to include the detailed requirements for restricted substances, recycling and labelling of batteries. Over time, issues with the EU Battery Directive gradually surfaced. For example, achieving the objectives for collection, recycling
The Battery Directive states that batteries and accumulators that contain more than 0.0005% by weight of mercury or mercury compounds are prohibited to be placed in the EU market. Mercury batteries were once popularly used to power a wide range of consumer electronic products such as watches, radios, and remote controls.
