With the EU Battery Regulation, the European lawmaker set a very comprehensive regulatory framework. Its ambitious goals: providing uniform framework conditions for the entire life cycle of batteries, promoting the circular economy and reducing ecological and social impacts emanating from the battery industry (for a first overview, see here).
The Battery Regulation has already entered into force and the time for implementation is tight. As early as 28 February 2024, extensive obligations will apply to all economic operators that come into contact with a battery - whether manufacturers, importers or distributors. In their webinar, our experts Dr Benedikt Rohrßen and Dr Ulrich Spiegel explain the key points of the Battery Regulation, with a focus on the obligations for manufacturers seating outside the EU, their authorised representatives, and importers.
