The European Commission (EC) lays out clear requirements for battery labeling in Directive 2006/66/EC and amendments to Regulation (EU) No 2019/1020. EC regulations specify size and location requirements for the label, stating that all batteries must meet these labeling requirements to be placed on the market in the EU.
Labeling is a foundational element for recording battery State of Charge (SOC) and State of Health (SOH) data, managing battery-electric-grid integration, tracking maintenance and repairs, managing recalls, and more.
A battery’s label should include the traceability and specification information, such as: You can find more information in Part A of Annex VI. Batteries must be marked with the separate collection symbol, which should: Printed above the relevant chemical symbol.
After the batteries have been lab tested, and if the products pass testing, you receive a test report indicating their products’ compliance with relevant standards or other requirements. Here we list a few companies that offer to test against either the Batteries Directive or the new Batteries Regulation:
The Batteries Regulation is a new regulation that sets requirements for batteries and waste batteries placed in the EU market. It covers all types of batteries unless an exemption applies. In this guide, we explain when the regulation will begin to apply, and its differences from the prior Batteries Directive.
The Battery Directive requires that all batteries and accumulators must bear the separate collection symbol, which is an icon of a crossed-out wheeled bin. The separate collection symbol is to remind the consumers that batteries should not be disposed to the garbage bins that collect regular wastes.
