Transportation
A number of chemical substances and materials are used in batteries, which are necessary for the chemical reactions that generate an electrical current.
However, a number of these substances can be harmful if not handled or transported in the proper manner.
For this reason, EUROBAT has prepared a number of guides on the safe handling and transport of batteries to ensure minimal impact on both the environment and the health of the public. The most recent is the ADR 2017. Please contact the EUROBAT secretariat for further information on these documents.
Please also note the new website on international transport regulations for batteries.
