It is written for teams placing batteries, products with batteries, or second-life batteries on the EU market. The Batteries Regulation is a product, sustainability, due diligence, and waste-battery regime in one instrument. A useful checklist starts with the battery category and operator role, then checks the product requirements, conformity route, information obligations, supply-chain controls, and end-of-life responsibilities that attach to that fact pattern. ## 1. Classify the battery and the operator role Classify each SKU before assigning controls. The regulation applies across portable batteries, LMT batteries, SLI batteries, industrial batteries, and electric vehicle batteries, including batteries incorporated into appliances, light means of transport, or other vehicles. Then identify every role in the EU supply chain. A party can become the manufacturer for this regulation if it places a battery on the market under its own name or trademark, modifies a battery in a way that can affect compliance, changes the battery purpose, or places a prepared-for-reuse, repurposed, remanufactured, or repurposed battery on the market. - Record the category: portable, portable battery of general use, LMT, SLI, industrial, rechargeable industrial above 2 kWh, stationary battery energy storage system, or electric vehicle battery. - Record the battery status: new, incorporated in another product, prepared for re-use, prepared for repurposing, repurposed, remanufactured, or waste. - Name the manufacturer, authorised representative if appointed, importer, distributor, fulfilment service provider, producer, and any producer responsibility organisation used for waste obligations. - For import and distance-sales channels, verify that an EU-established economic operator can respond to market-surveillance requests and that importer identity information is available on the battery, packaging, or accompanying document where required. - For distributors, check producer registration, CE marking, labels, accompanying documents, safety information, and manufacturer/importer identity before making the battery available.

Check product requirements before conformity assessment Build the technical file around the requirements that actually apply to the category. Do not treat CE marking as a standalone label task; it follows from technical documentation and the correct conformity assessment procedure. Use harmonised standards or common specifications where they cover the relevant requirement. If a notified body is needed for the selected module, keep the body identification, certificate, reports, and any corrective-action record with the release file. - Check restricted-substance limits in Annex I, including mercury, cadmium for portable batteries, and lead for portable batteries where applicable. - For electric vehicle batteries, LMT batteries, and rechargeable industrial batteries above 2 kWh, check whether carbon-footprint declaration, performance-class, and maximum-threshold obligations apply to the model and manufacturing plant. - For industrial batteries above 2 kWh, EV batteries, LMT batteries, and SLI batteries containing cobalt, lead, lithium, or nickel in active materials, maintain recycled-content documentation where the regulation requires it. - For portable batteries of general use, rechargeable industrial batteries above 2 kWh, LMT batteries, and EV batteries, document the applicable performance and durability parameters. - For stationary battery energy storage systems, keep the safety-hazard assessment, successful testing evidence for relevant Annex V parameters, and mitigation instructions for hazards such as fire or explosion. - Run the Article 17 conformity module that matches the requirement set and production mode, draw up the EU declaration of conformity, and affix the CE marking visibly, legibly, and indelibly before placing the battery on the market or putting it into service.

Verify labels, QR code, passport, BMS data, and removability Information controls need their own release gate because the label, QR code, declaration of conformity, due diligence report, waste information, and passport can point to different systems. The checklist should prove that public, restricted, and authority-facing information is accurate and kept current. For products incorporating portable batteries or LMT batteries, review the mechanical design, instructions, spare-parts plan, and software behavior before release. Article 11 focuses on the whole battery for portable batteries and on the battery and individual cells in an LMT battery pack. - Confirm the general battery label, capacity label, non-rechargeable label, separate-collection symbol, and Cd or Pb chemical symbol where each applies. - Confirm the QR code target: passport for LMT batteries, industrial batteries above 2 kWh, and EV batteries; required Article 13 information for other batteries; recovered-material information for SLI batteries where applicable. - For batteries with a passport, maintain public model data, restricted data for persons with a legitimate interest, authority/notified-body data, and individual-battery status fields in the required access tier. - For stationary battery energy storage systems, LMT batteries, and EV batteries, verify read-only battery-management-system access to state-of-health and expected-lifetime parameters for eligible purchasers, independent operators, waste operators, or authorised third parties. - For products with portable batteries, confirm end-user removability and replaceability unless a cited derogation applies; for products with LMT batteries, confirm removability and replaceability by an independent professional. - Keep removal and replacement instructions, safety information, spare-parts availability evidence, and software checks showing that replacement with compatible batteries or key components is not impeded.

Build the due diligence file for battery raw materials Do not assume every operator has the same due diligence obligation. First check the current Chapter VII scope, turnover and group exclusions, battery status, and any later amending act that changes application timing or scope. Where Chapter VII applies, the evidence file should show the policy, supply-chain controls, risk assessment, third-party verification, and public reporting chain. The due diligence file should be owned by sourcing and compliance together because the regulation requires supplier-facing controls, top-management oversight, risk-response measures, and downstream/public disclosure. - Confirm whether the operator placing batteries on the market or putting them into service is excluded by the Chapter VII turnover/group rule or by the rule for batteries already placed on the market before re-use, repurposing, or remanufacturing operations. - Adopt and publish a battery due diligence policy for Annex X raw materials and associated social and environmental risk categories. - Assign top-management oversight and keep management-system records for the required retention period. - Maintain chain-of-custody or traceability records covering raw-material description, supplier name and address, country of origin, transaction chain, quantities present in the battery, and available supplier verification reports. - Identify and assess adverse-impact risks, adopt a risk-management plan, track mitigation performance, and define when supplier engagement is suspended or discontinued after failed mitigation. - Keep notified-body verification reports, approval decisions, periodic audit reports, downstream information packages, and the annual public due diligence report.

Set up producer responsibility, take-back, treatment, and reporting controls Waste-battery duties are not just recycler duties. Producers, producer responsibility organisations, distributors, online channels, end-users, treatment facilities, waste operators, and first recyclers each generate records that may be needed to prove collection, treatment, recycling efficiency, material recovery, and user-information compliance. Separate the controls by battery category and Member State because collection networks, producer registration, take-back arrangements, reporting, and competent-authority interactions are tied to the territory where batteries are made available. - Register producers in the relevant Member State producer registers before batteries are made available, and keep producer registration numbers available for distributor and online-platform checks. - Confirm that producer or producer responsibility organisation contracts cover collection points, suitable containers, safe temporary storage, collection frequency, and delivery to permitted treatment facilities. - For distributors, provide free take-back for the categories sold or previously offered, including distance-sales arrangements and point-of-delivery or local collection options where applicable. - Provide end-users and distributors with waste-prevention, separate-collection, take-back, collection-point, safety, label-symbol, hazardous-substance, and inappropriate-discarding information in the required language. - Give waste management operators the model-specific dismantling, storage, transport, fire-protection, hazardous-substance location, and treatment information needed for safe and environmentally sound handling. - For recyclers and first recyclers, keep annual recycling-efficiency and material-recovery documentation by chemistry, target material, Member State of collection, input fractions, output fractions, and destination/yield of final output fractions.

Evidence checklist to keep with each release or market file Close the checklist with records that can answer authority, customer, recycler, supplier, and internal release questions without rebuilding the analysis from memory. Keep category-specific evidence together, and link each record to the battery model, manufacturing plant where relevant, market, and responsible owner. When an obligation depends on a delegated or implementing act, keep the current legal trigger and source status in the evidence record instead of writing a fixed date into the checklist without source support. - Scope record: battery category, incorporation status, market, operator roles, producer registration status, and Article 44/45 manufacturer reassignment assessment. - Technical file: restriction assessment, performance and durability data, stationary BESS safety file where applicable, BMS access design, harmonised standards or common specifications used, and test/calculation reports. - Conformity file: selected Article 17 module, notified-body record where applicable, EU declaration of conformity, CE marking artwork/location proof, and language versions of instructions and safety information. - Sustainability file: carbon-footprint declaration/study, recycled-content calculation file, manufacturing plant reference, and supporting input-data evidence where applicable. - Information file: label artwork, QR-code target test, passport data model and access rights, declaration/report links exposed through QR where required, and evidence that passport information is accurate, complete, and up to date. - Removability file: product teardown evidence, tools assessment, replacement instructions, spare-part availability plan, safety derogation rationale if used, and software-restriction test. - Due diligence file: scope/exclusion assessment, policy, supplier contracts, traceability records, risk assessments, mitigation tracking, notified-body verification, audit reports, downstream disclosures, and annual public report. - Waste file: take-back contracts, collection-point records, end-user information, distributor return arrangements, handover records, treatment facility records, recycling-efficiency and material-recovery documentation, and competent-authority reports.
