Summary
eubatteryregulation.com is an independent reference on Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 concerning batteries and waste batteries, and its editorial team reads every message sent through the form on this page or to editorial@eubatteryregulation.com.
Write to correct a value, ask about a page or send a compliance request; what the law requires is explained under EU Battery Regulation.
How to Reach the Editorial Team
Use the form on this page or write to editorial@eubatteryregulation.com; both reach the eubatteryregulation.com Editorial Team. The form offers five topics: a correction or factual error, a question about a page, a battery compliance request, a press enquiry and other matters. Email suits attachments such as an Official Journal extract.
Compliance requests go through the battery compliance request form, because its fields carry the details needed to pass a request on: request type, battery category, role, such as manufacturer or importer, and company country. Messages in English are read, and no reply time is promised.
How to Report an Error on a Page
To report an error, name the page and the exact sentence, and give the primary source that shows the correct value, such as the article of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on EUR-Lex. Cite the article as the act numbers it, for example "Article 77(1)" or "Article 7(1), second subparagraph".
A national point cites the national gazette or the competent authority. Statuses on the site carry a date: the Article 77(9) access-rights implementing act is a draft only as of 13 November 2026.
A status correction names the newer official document and its date; how corrections are handled is set out in the editorial policy of eubatteryregulation.com.
How to Send a Compliance Request to Independent Providers
Use the battery compliance request form and describe what you need; the request is passed to independent battery compliance providers who work on this. They cover EPR registration and producer responsibility organisations, authorised representatives, passport software, carbon footprint calculation and verification, testing laboratories and notified bodies, and recyclers. Providers cannot buy a place on eubatteryregulation.com.
What the Editorial Team Cannot Answer
The editorial team explains what Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 requires, but it does not give legal advice and does not say whether a named company is obliged or which of the five battery categories a specific battery falls into. Article 1(3) and the Article 3(1) definitions set the categories, and the decision stays with the company.
A question about one battery goes to its manufacturer or importer. Since 18 August 2024, Articles 38(7) and 41(3) have required on the battery their name, registered trade name or trade mark, a postal address indicating a single contact point, and web and email addresses if available. Absent, false or incomplete details are formal non-compliance under Article 83(1)(f).
Questions on producer registration and the other Chapter VIII duties in a Member State go to the competent authority designated under Article 54. Member States had to notify their authorities to the Commission by 18 November 2025 (Article 54(4)), and the Commission publishes a list of them. Each country's authority is set out under EU Battery Regulation by country.
