EUBR Compliance: Complex Due Diligence & Restrictions

The EU Batteries Regulation 2023 introduces extensive materials restrictions and new requirements for the responsible sourcing of critical minerals for all batteries placed on the EU market. If you can’t meet your reporting requirements, you face blocked EU market access, fines of up to €500,000, or even criminal penalties.

Critical Minerals & the EU Batteries Regulation

The regulatory landscape for batteries is changing fast. EUBR due diligence requirements took effect August 2025. This puts extra pressure on companies to ensure responsible sourcing, manage environmental and social risks, and avoid costly compliance errors.

FAQ: EU Batteries Regulation

Preparing for EUBR compliance? Here are clear, straightforward answers based on the regulation.

What is the EU Batteries Regulation (2023/1542)?

The EU Batteries Regulation (2023/1542) is the European Union’s legally binding framework that sets sustainability, safety, and due diligence requirements for all batteries placed on the EU market. It replaces the older Battery Directive and introduces a single, directly applicable set of rules across all member states.

The regulation creates mandatory requirements for:

  • Responsible sourcing and supply chain due diligence for critical raw materials
  • Restrictions on hazardous substances
  • Carbon footprint and sustainability performance
  • Labeling, traceability, and the digital battery passport
  • Collection, recycling, and recovery targets
  • End-of-life management and reporting

Its purpose is to ensure that batteries sold in the EU are safe, durable, and produced with verified sustainable and ethical practices across the entire battery lifecycle.

What Are the EUBR Obligations for Manufacturers?

Manufacturers, importers, or distributors placing batteries on the EU market must:

  • Comply with strict limits on hazardous substances
  • Conduct due diligence on environmental and social risks
  • Implement a raw materials due diligence policy (e.g., for cobalt and other critical materials)
  • Prepare and publish a due diligence report
  • Meet labeling, sustainability, and end-of-life management requirements
What Are the Key EUBR Deadlines?
  • April 2025: Establish due diligence program; begin supplier outreach
  • August 18, 2025: Supply chain due diligence and end-of-life obligations begin
  • August 2025 to mid-2026: Due diligence programs must be approved by a notified body; reports published
  • August 2026: Labeling requirements take effect
  • 2027 onward: Additional sustainability measures and audits introduced
Which Manufacturers Are in Scope of EUBR?

Any company that manufactures, imports, or distributes batteries or products containing batteries for the EU market falls under EUBR. Companies must identify risk in their supply chains, document due diligence actions, and publicly report required data.

Which Types of Batteries Are Covered Under the EUBR?

EUBR applies to all batteries placed on the EU market, whether sold individually or built into equipment. The law covers five main categories:

  • Portable batteries used in consumer electronics and household devices
  • Light means of transport (LMT) batteries, such as e-bike and e-scooter batteries
  • Industrial batteries used in manufacturing, commercial settings, and stationary applications
  • Electric vehicle (EV) batteries
  • Starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) batteries used in automotive applications

The regulation also applies to batteries integrated into products, including tools, appliances, electronics, and machinery. Any manufacturer, importer, or distributor placing these batteries (or goods containing them) on the EU market must comply with EUBR’s due diligence, labeling, reporting, and end-of-life requirements.
