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).
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.
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.
Holding copies of product test reports that demonstrate the performance of safety mechanisms present in a lithium-ion battery, designed to protect against thermal runaway or the causes of thermal runaway as set out in section 4, and providing this documentation to an enforcement authority upon request.
These include performance and durability requirements for industrial batteries, electric vehicle (EV) batteries, and light means of transport (LMT) batteries; safety standards for stationary battery energy storage systems (SBESS); and information requirements on SOH and expected lifetime.
It is an offence to place a lithium-ion battery on the market if it is not a safe product. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), as the UK’s national product regulator, and Local Authority Trading Standards, have powers to enforce the GPSR and there are sanctions, including criminal sanctions, for those that do not comply.
