An overview of global batteries regulations.
Batteries have received increased regulatory attention in recent years, most notably in the EU, where the regulation introduced the world’s most onerous requirements for batteries, addressing compliance at every phase of the lifecycle.
Beyond concerns related to due diligence, carbon footprinting and extended producer responsibility (EPR), manufacturers of batteries – and products containing them– are also subject to recent safety requirements, such as bills to mitigate overheating of lithium-ion batteries used in e-bikes and other mobility devices, as well as laws to protect small children from ingestion hazards due to accessible button or coin batteries in consumer products.

In a series of three regional modules, all aspects of battery compliance, such as:
- Design considerations;
