Preparing for the EU Battery Regulation
Digital compliance is no longer a nice-to-have; it’s quickly becoming the new standard for asset management, as the new EU Battery Regulation proves. From February 2027, organisations placing certain batteries on the European market will need to comply with new requirements under the EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. One of the biggest changes is the introduction of the Digital Battery Passport. This is a digital record that provides instant access to key information about a battery throughout its lifecycle. Although this legislation applies across the European Union, many UK manufacturers, importers, distributors and suppliers will also need to comply if they sell batteries into the EU market or form part of the European supply chain. For many businesses, the real challenge isn’t whether they can store this information; it’s making sure every record is accurate, up to date and instantly accessible. As digital compliance becomes the norm, spreadsheets, paper records and disconnected filing systems simply won’t provide the visibility organisations need. In this blog, we’ll explain what the new regulation means, the key compliance deadlines and how digital asset management solutions such as MyBattery Passport (MyAsset Passport) can help organisations prepare.
