Guidance on the definition of a Battery and its implications

EUROBAT, along with the European Portable Battery Association (EPBA) and Recharge, have released its latest guidance focusing on the definition of a battery and its implications within the framework of the EU Batteries Regulation (EU 1542/2023).

Understanding which objects meet the battery definition is essential for ensuring compliance with the Batteries Regulation obligations, particularly for manufacturers and producers. The guidance clarifies responsibilities and streamlines the Regulation's implementation across the industry.
