New requirements of the EU battery regulation and Complymarket solutions
The new battery regulation of the European Union has far -reaching effects for manufacturers, importers and retailers of batteries and battery -operated products. The battery regulation proposed in December 2020 is intended to ensure that batteries that are placed on the market in the EU are sustainable and safe throughout their life cycle. Here is what you need to know about the new battery regulatory requirements.
- 1. Sustainable battery design
The new battery regulation requires manufacturers to develop batteries for simple disassembly, reuse and recycling. You also have to make sure that batteries are durable, energy -efficient and environmentally friendly.
Batteries must be characterized with clear and easy -to -understand information about your performance, durability and energy efficiency. This information will help consumers to make sound decisions about which batteries they should choose.
- 3. Limitations for dangerous substances
The new battery regulation limits the use of dangerous substances such as lead, cadmium and mercury. Batteries and battery-operated products must also correspond to the REACH regulation and the guideline on electrical and electronics equipment (WEEE).
- 4. Management responsibility
Manufacturers, importers and traders of batteries and battery -operated products must take responsibility for the collection, treatment and recycling of old batteries. You also have to give consumers information about the environmentally friendly disposal of batteries.
- 5. Registration requirements
Manufacturers, importers and traders of batteries and battery-operated products must register with the national authorities in every EU country in which the product is sold. You also have to report the sales quantities of each product type.
