REACH Directive & Battery Compliance

The REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) ensures a high level of protection for human health and the environment. For lithium batteries entering the EU, compliance with substance restrictions is mandatory.

Key Compliance Requirements

• Substance Restrictions: Regulates the use of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in battery components and packaging.
• Lifecycle Management: Aligns with the new EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542) covering the entire battery life cycle, from production to recycling.
• Transparency: Requires manufacturers to communicate information about hazardous substances throughout the B2B supply chain.

Compliance with REACH is vital for sustainability and legal market access in Europe.
