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 requirements include: The Inland Transport of Dangerous Goods Directive requires that the transportation of lithium batteries and other dangerous goods must be done according to the requirements of the Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).
The number of lithium batteries ready for recycling is expected to increase 700 times between 2020 and 2040. At the same time, industry is now better prepared to reach higher recycling efficiencies and higher levels of materials recovery, and thus better placed to contribute to the circularity of the sector.
The General Product Safety Regulation covers safety aspects of a product, including lithium batteries, which are not covered by other regulations. Although there are harmonised standards under the regulation, we could not find any that specifically relate to batteries.
The technical documentation should contain information (e.g. description of the lithium battery and its intended use) that makes it possible to assess the lithium battery’s conformity with the requirements of the regulation. The regulation lists the required documentation in Annex VIII.
The Regulation entered into force on 17 August 2023 and repeals the Batteries Directive (Directive 2006/66/EC). It continues to restrict the use of mercury and cadmium in batteries and introduces a restriction for lead in portable batteries. It also aims to: reduce environmental and social impacts throughout the entire battery life cycle.
Lithium batteries are subject to various regulations and directives in the European Union that concern safety, substances, documentation, labelling, and testing. These requirements are primarily found under the Batteries Regulation, but additional regulations, directives, and standards are also relevant to lithium batteries.
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.
As part of the agreement, SVOLT will grant Exide an irrevocable right and license to use, exploit and commercialise necessary technology and know-how owned by them for lithium-ion cell manufacturing in India.
Manufacturers of industrial batteries, electric vehicle batteries, LMT batteries and SLI batteries containing lithium or other listed substances in active materials and who apply "Module D1 – Quality assurance of the production process" must have their quality system documentation assessed.
To ensure that the expected massive deployment of batteries does not hamper our efforts in the green transition, it is necessary that the EU takes resolute action for the sustainable production, deployment and waste management of all batteries placed on the EU market: portable batteries, automotive batteries, industrial batteries and batteries f...
European self-sufficiency in the battery sector is one of the major EU needs. The key lithiumion batteries (LIBs) materials demand is expected to increase in the next decade as a consequence of...
Many new regulations focused on the EV market and lithium-ion batteries are coming into force. EV supply chain participants will be obliged to track and trace batteries and ensure they recycle and reuse critical materials, while at the same time keeping them within the country. Regulations and their requirements differ by region.
As part of policies, the extended producer responsibility (EPR) is a crucial point to guarantee circularity for batteries. This study has the goal to analyse the EPR in Europe, mainly Germany, France, and Spain, regarding LIB management, logistics, and recycling ratios.
The production of lithium-ion batteries is a relatively new technology, making it particularly challenging for Property Insurance underwriting. That there are few regulatory or legal requirements further complicates the underwriting process. As a result, the industry does not yet have clear instructions or established best practices. However ...

Lithium-ion batteries are miraculous. They''re strong enough to run a vehicle, and they can be recharged at any outlet. Their commercial debut, in 1991, and popularization over the next two ...
"We have to find ways to make it enter what we call a circular lifecycle, because the lithium and the cobalt and nickel take a lot of electricity and a lot of effort to be mined and refined and ...
By 2025, the EU domestic production of battery cells is expected to cover EU''s consumption needs for electric vehicles and energy storage. However, it is likely that the EU will be import reliant to various degrees for primary and processed …
Batteries'' development and production are strategic priorities for Europe in the shift towards clean energy. They are also key components in the European automotive industry. The global demand for batteries is increasing rapidly and is predicted to have a 14-fold increase by the year 2030.
Though the most common metals used in lithium batteries do not appear on the list of contaminants that can make a waste exhibit the toxicity characteristic found in 40 CFR 261.24, contamination from other chemistries of batteries could result in black mass exhibiting the toxicity characteristic for a hazardous constituent such as cadmium. EPA recommends careful …
Lithium batteries, especially lithium-ion batteries, have become a preferred energy source for many items due to their high power density and light weight as well as their rechargeable capability. Lithium batteries can be …
By 2025, the EU domestic production of battery cells is expected to cover EU''s consumption needs for electric vehicles and energy storage. However, it is likely that the EU will be import reliant to various degrees for primary and processed (batt-grade) materials.
For batteries that are 99 watt or under 100 watts each you can carry four. You can carry up to 160-watt batteries. And you are allowed up to two 160 watt batteries, not more than two.

Lithium production is expected to skyrocket 500% by 2050, driven mostly by demand for batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs). Spearheaded by policymakers and businesses, mass production of EVs is part of a mobility transition that ignores over-consumption and the impacts of mining and production.
