ComplyMarket is pleased to invite you to our free webinar on:
New Labeling Requirements under the EU Battery Regulation
This session will provide a clear and practical overview of the upcoming labeling requirements under the EU Battery Regulation and the related draft implementing rules on harmonised label formats and specifications.
The webinar is designed to help companies understand what information must appear on battery labels, when labeling information may be provided through packaging, accompanying documents, or QR codes, and how businesses can prepare their internal compliance processes for the new requirements.
Participants will gain practical insights into the impact of these rules on battery manufacturers, importers, distributors, product manufacturers, suppliers, and companies placing batteries or battery-containing products on the EU market.
✨ Participation fee: Free of charge ✨
📅 Date: 25 of June

📚 Webinar Agenda:
1- Welcome & Webinar Objectives
Introduction to the webinar, key regulatory developments, and what participants will learn during the session.
2- Background: EU Battery Regulation and Labeling Obligations
Overview of the EU Battery Regulation and the role of the draft implementing rules in defining harmonised specifications for battery labeling.
3- Scope of the New Labeling Requirements
Explanation of the battery categories affected by the new rules, including portable batteries, rechargeable batteries, SLI batteries, LMT batteries, industrial batteries, electric vehicle batteries, and battery packs.
4- Mandatory Information on Battery Labels
A practical overview of the information that may need to appear on battery labels, including manufacturer details, battery category, model identification, batch or serial number, place and date of manufacture, battery mass, capacity information where applicable, electrochemical composition, restricted and hazardous substances, usable extinguishing agent or fire class, critical raw materials, and minimum average duration for certain portable non-rechargeable batteries.
5- Label Placement: Battery, Packaging, Documents, and QR Codes
Explanation of when information should be printed or engraved directly on the battery and when it may be provided on packaging, in accompanying documents, or through a QR code.
This section will also cover cases where the battery surface is limited, the battery is incorporated into a product, or the battery is not immediately visible.
6- Label Design, Readability, and Durability
Overview of the expected label design requirements, including readability, contrast, minimum font size, label position, durability, icons, margins, and use of compatible fonts for EU official languages.
7- Non-Rechargeable Battery Labeling
Explanation of the “Do Not Charge” symbol requirement for non-rechargeable batteries, including practical considerations for small batteries and packaging-based labeling.
8- Restricted and Hazardous Substances
Discussion of how restricted and hazardous substances should be identified on the label and why reliable supplier data, substance declarations, and evidence management are essential for compliance.
9- Language, Accessibility, and Digital Labeling
Overview of language requirements, accessibility expectations, and how QR codes can support multilingual and digitally accessible labeling information.
10- Carbon Footprint Label Format
Explanation of the proposed carbon footprint label, including the performance class, declared life-cycle carbon footprint, functional unit, and display format.
11- What These Requirements Mean for Businesses
Practical explanation of what manufacturers, importers, distributors, suppliers, and other economic operators should prepare, including label review, packaging updates, supplier data collection, technical documentation, and compliance workflow alignment.
12- Practical Implementation Readiness
Key steps organizations should take to prepare for implementation, including battery category mapping, label and packaging review, supplier data collection, QR-code and digital-label workflows, Digital Product Passport alignment, and internal approval processes.
13- Q&A and Closing Remarks
Participants will have the opportunity to raise questions and discuss practical implementation challenges. The session will close with a summary of the key takeaways and recommended next steps.
