<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">New requirements of the European regulation on ComplyMarket batteries and solutions
The new EU battery regulation has far-reaching implications for manufacturers, importers and distributors of batteries and battery-powered products. The Battery Act, which was proposed in December 2020, aims to ensure that batteries placed on the EU market are durable and safe throughout their lifecycle. Here's what you need to know about the new battery regulatory requirements.
New battery regulations require manufacturers to design batteries for easy disassembly, reuse, and recycling. They also need to ensure that batteries are durable, energy-efficient, and have a low environmental impact.
Batteries should be labeled with clear and easily understandable information about their performance, durability, and energy efficiency. This information will help consumers make informed decisions about which batteries to choose.
- 3. Restrictions on Hazardous Substances
The new battery regulation restricts the use of hazardous substances, including lead, cadmium and mercury. Batteries and battery-powered products must also comply with the REACH regulation and the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive.
- 4. Producer responsibility
Manufacturers, importers and distributors of batteries and battery-powered products must take responsibility for the collection, treatment and recycling of used batteries. They must also provide consumers with information on how to dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly way.
Manufacturers, importers and distributors of batteries and battery-powered products must register with the national authorities of each EU country where the product is sold. They must also report the sales volumes of each type of product.
