About: EU Battery Regulation

This page names who publishes the site, what it covers, how it is funded and where its facts come from.

Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 entered into force on 17 August 2023 and has applied since 18 February 2024 (Article 96(1) and (2)). It is directly applicable in every member state, while national laws implement its producer responsibility, penalty and authority provisions. A plain overview of the EU Battery Regulation starts on the home page.

Who Publishes eubatteryregulation.com

The site is published under its own domain name, eubatteryregulation.com, and every page carries the byline of the eubatteryregulation.com Editorial Team rather than a named author. No person and no company is named on the site, as owner or as author.

The pages serve readers who apply the Regulation at work. They include compliance and product-regulatory managers at battery makers, importers and distributors, makers of appliances, tools, e-bikes and vehicles with batteries, online sellers and marketplaces, non-EU exporters, and sustainability and supply-chain teams.

What the Site Explains

The site explains what Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, the acts adopted under it and the national battery laws require, for which batteries, for whom, from when, and how to meet them. The Regulation holds 14 chapters, 96 articles and 15 annexes and covers five battery categories: portable, LMT, SLI, industrial and electric vehicle batteries (Article 1(3)).

The site also covers the repealed Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC where its transition matters; Article 95 of the Regulation repealed it with effect from 18 August 2025. National battery law is covered for the 27 member states, Norway and the United Kingdom, for example the German Batterierecht-Durchführungsgesetz (BattDG, the Battery Law Implementation Act).

Table 1 lists the nine sections of the site.

Topics Left Out

Every page answers one test: does it explain what the Battery Regulation, its secondary acts or a national battery law require, for which batteries, for whom, from when, or how to meet it? Mining, mineral markets, phones, cars and e-bikes as products, and consumer use such as charging fail it.

Battery technology, dangerous-goods transport and non-EU battery rules are also left out, except on the Norway and United Kingdom pages. Ecodesign rules and the general digital product passport, packaging law and corporate sustainability due diligence laws are separate topics. WEEE and end-of-life vehicle rules appear only where they meet the Regulation.

How the Site Earns Money without Selling Places

The site is funded by requests that readers choose to send to independent providers, and no provider can pay for a mention, a ranking or a change to any page.

Requests go to six service types: EPR registration and producer responsibility organisations, authorised representatives, battery passport software, carbon-footprint calculation and verification, testing laboratories and notified bodies, and recyclers.

No provider is listed or ranked on the site. Producer responsibility organisations and notified bodies appear only as an official register or the NANDO database lists them, with that list as the source. The site uses no analytics or advertising vendors.

What Happens to a Request Sent to Providers

On topic pages a reader can describe a need, and the request goes to independent providers who work on that type of task. The request text reads: "Describe what you need and we pass your request to independent battery compliance providers who work on this." A request is not legal advice.

The site never tells a named company whether it is obliged. Form data and messages are kept for 24 months. Each request carries the same disclosure: "Requests go to independent providers. Providers cannot buy a place on eubatteryregulation.com; see our editorial policy."

Where Every Fact and Date Comes From

Every fact on the site comes from a primary source: the Regulation and its acts on EUR-Lex and in the Official Journal, the Commission, NANDO for notified bodies, and the national gazettes, registers and competent authorities.

A newer official source replaces an older value. The Regulation is cited from EUR-Lex, never from a law firm or vendor.

Every status carries its date. As of 13 November 2026, three acts have been adopted under the Regulation: Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/606, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2289 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/1770.

Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/2048, adopted under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, cites the harmonised standard EN 18060:2025 and has been in force since 16 September 2026.

Proposals appear as pending, never as adopted law. As of 13 November 2026, the Commission proposal COM(2025) 981 sits in the European Parliament's ENVI committee at the stage "Awaiting committee decision", with an indicative plenary date of 14 December 2026. How each value is checked is set out under methodology and fact-checking.

Other Pages on How the Site Works

Four other pages explain how the editorial team checks facts, decides what it publishes, handles reader data and answers questions. The byline of every page links to the fact-checking method, and each page below covers one of these four subjects.

• methodology and fact-checking: how values are checked and dated
• editorial policy: what is published, independence and corrections
• privacy: what happens to form data and messages
• contact the editorial team: questions and corrections

Writing to the Editorial Team

Questions about a page, a suspected error or a correction go to editorial@eubatteryregulation.com. A correction follows the primary source that settles the value, never a request from a provider, so a provider cannot change what a page says about the law.
