Article 55 requires a producer register in each Member State, and producers may place batteries on that Member State market only if they, or their authorised representative where applicable, are registered there. - Map each battery category: portable, LMT, SLI, industrial, and electric vehicle batteries. - Register in every Member State where batteries are first made available on the market. - Record whether obligations are fulfilled individually, through an authorised representative, or through a producer responsibility organisation. - Keep written evidence of collection measures, data reliability controls, and any producer responsibility organisation mandate. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries and waste batteries](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1542/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Article 55 supports the Member State producer registration requirement and the registration evidence needed for battery categories, chemistries, EPR measures, and data reliability controls. ### [Who pays for collection, take-back, treatment, and reporting?](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/waste-collection-and-recycling-reporting.md#who-pays-for-collection-take-back-treatment-and-reporting) *Module: [EU Batteries Regulation: Waste Collection](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/waste-collection-and-recycling-reporting.md)* The Batteries Regulation uses extended producer responsibility. Article 56 makes producers responsible for batteries they make available for the first time in a Member State, including batteries resulting from preparation for re-use, preparation for repurposing, repurposing, or remanufacturing. - Budget collection, transport, and treatment costs by Member State and battery category. - Include reporting and data gathering in the EPR cost model, not only logistics invoices. - For repurposed or remanufactured batteries placed on the market, check whether the operator becomes the producer for EPR purposes. - Avoid unsupported national details unless the relevant Member State source is separately verified. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries and waste batteries](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1542/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Article 56 supports the producer responsibility rule and the cost categories for separate collection, treatment, information, data gathering, and reporting. ### [How must free collection and take-back work for portable and LMT batteries?](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/waste-collection-and-recycling-reporting.md#how-must-free-collection-and-take-back-work-for-portable-and-lmt-batteries) *Module: [EU Batteries Regulation: Waste Collection](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/waste-collection-and-recycling-reporting.md)* For portable batteries and LMT batteries, producers or their producer responsibility organisations must establish take-back and collection systems in the Member State where they make those batteries available for the first time. Those systems must cover the whole territory, taking account of population, expected waste battery volumes, accessibility, and proximity to end-users. - Portable battery collection points can involve distributors, public authorities, voluntary points, end-of-life vehicle treatment facilities, and WEEE treatment facilities. - LMT battery systems use the same types of cooperation points, with suitable infrastructure for the volume and hazardous nature of LMT waste batteries. - Distributors must take back waste batteries from end-users free of charge, limited to categories they have or had in their offer and, for portable batteries, normal non-professional quantities. - Distance sellers must provide collection points across the Member State and tell end-users the take-back arrangements when a battery is ordered. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries and waste batteries](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1542/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Articles 59, 60, and 62 support the free collection and take-back requirements for portable and LMT batteries, including distributor and distance-sale obligations. ### [Which collection targets matter for portable and LMT batteries?](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/waste-collection-and-recycling-reporting.md#which-collection-targets-matter-for-portable-and-lmt-batteries) *Module: [EU Batteries Regulation: Waste Collection](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/waste-collection-and-recycling-reporting.md)* For waste portable batteries, producers or producer responsibility organisations must attain and durably maintain collection targets of 45% by 31 December 2023, 63% by 31 December 2027, and 73% by 31 December 2030. - Track placed-on-market weights by Member State, category, and chemistry. - Exclude batteries that left that Member State before sale to end-users when reporting placed-on-market amounts. - Keep collection-point data connected to the producer or producer responsibility organisation collection system. - Prepare corrective-action evidence if a competent authority finds collection measures are not consistent with achieving the targets.

Article 70 requires treatment in permitted facilities, with waste batteries removed from waste appliances, waste light means of transport, or end-of-life vehicles where applicable. - Maintain handover records from distributors, public collection points, voluntary points, WEEE facilities, and end-of-life vehicle facilities. - Show that collected batteries were delivered to permitted treatment, preparation for re-use, preparation for repurposing, or recycling facilities. - For exported waste batteries, retain documentary evidence approved by the destination competent authority when counting treatment toward EU obligations. - For recycling evidence, preserve data for each individual recycling step and output fraction. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries and waste batteries](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1542/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Articles 70 to 72 support the treatment route, recycling obligation, export evidence rule, and requirement to cover all recycling steps and output fractions. - [Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/606](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2025/606/oj?ref=sorena.io) - This delegated regulation is the official methodology and documentation-format source for calculating and verifying recycling efficiency and recovery rates for waste batteries. - [European Commission: new rules to boost recycling efficiency and material recovery from waste batteries](https://environment.ec.europa.eu/news/new-rules-boost-recycling-efficiency-waste-batteries-2025-07-04_en?ref=sorena.io) - The Commission news page explains that the delegated rules create consistent calculation guidelines for recyclers and a harmonised documentation format for Member State authorities. ### [What should the Article 75 reporting evidence file contain?](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/waste-collection-and-recycling-reporting.md#what-should-the-article-75-reporting-evidence-file-contain) *Module: [EU Batteries Regulation: Waste Collection](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/waste-collection-and-recycling-reporting.md)* Article 75 is the practical reporting checklist. Producers of portable and LMT batteries, or their producer responsibility organisations, must report annually by chemistry and battery category on placed-on-market amounts, collected waste batteries, collection rates, delivery to treatment, export for treatment or preparation, and delivery to preparation for re-use or repurposing. - Placed-on-market data: first making available in the Member State, excluding batteries that left before sale to end-users. - Collection data: collected waste portable and LMT batteries, by category and chemistry, plus the achieved collection rate. - Treatment data: amounts delivered to permitted treatment, preparation for re-use, preparation for repurposing, or recycling facilities. - Export data: amounts exported for treatment, preparation for re-use, or preparation for repurposing, with supporting destination evidence where needed. - Recycler data: recycling efficiency, material recovery, destination, and yield of final output fractions, covering all recycling steps. - Submission control: report within six months of the end of the reporting year once the applicable reporting-format implementing act starts the first reporting period. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries and waste batteries](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1542/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Article 75 supports the annual reporting fields for producers, producer responsibility organisations, waste management operators, recyclers, exporters, and treatment operators. ### [Which batteries are covered by Article 7 carbon footprint classes?](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/carbon-footprint-classes.md#which-batteries-are-covered-by-article-7-carbon-footprint-classes) *Module: [FAQ: EU Batteries Regulation carbon footprint performance classes](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/carbon-footprint-classes.md)* Article 7 covers electric vehicle batteries, rechargeable industrial batteries with a capacity greater than 2 kWh, and batteries for light means of transport (LMT). It distinguishes rechargeable industrial batteries with external storage from other rechargeable industrial batteries when setting application timing. - Covered categories: electric vehicle batteries, rechargeable industrial batteries above 2 kWh, and LMT batteries. - Model boundary: the Article 7 declaration is for each battery model per manufacturing plant. - Industrial-battery split: external-storage industrial batteries have their own Article 7 timing path. - Out-of-scope for this FAQ: portable, SLI, and other batteries unless they also fall into one of the Article 7 covered categories. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries - Article 7](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1542/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Article 7 identifies the battery categories covered by the carbon-footprint declaration, class-label, and threshold sequence. - [EUR-Lex summary of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/sustainability-rules-for-batteries-and-waste-batteries.html?ref=sorena.io) - EUR-Lex summary confirms that the Batteries Regulation covers portable, electric vehicle, industrial, SLI, and LMT battery categories. ### [What is the Article 7 sequence for declarations, classes, and thresholds?](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/carbon-footprint-classes.md#what-is-the-article-7-sequence-for-declarations-classes-and-thresholds) *Module: [FAQ: EU Batteries Regulation carbon footprint performance classes](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/carbon-footprint-classes.md)* The sequence is cumulative. First, the covered battery model needs a carbon footprint declaration. Second, the battery bears a label declaring the carbon footprint performance class for that model and plant. Third, once the relevant delegated act sets maximum life-cycle carbon footprint thresholds, the technical documentation must show that the declared life-cycle carbon footprint value is below the applicable threshold. - Step 1: draw up the carbon footprint declaration for the battery model per manufacturing plant. - Step 2: apply the carbon footprint performance class label once the class rules and label format apply. - Step 3: prove the declared value is below the maximum life-cycle carbon footprint threshold once the threshold delegated act applies. - Do not treat an Article 7 class boundary as established unless the relevant delegated act has set it. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries - Article 7 and Annex II](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1542/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Article 7 and Annex II support the declaration, class-label, and maximum-threshold sequence and explain how classes and thresholds are to be set. ### [Which delegated and implementing acts control carbon footprint classes?](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/carbon-footprint-classes.md#which-delegated-and-implementing-acts-control-carbon-footprint-classes) *Module: [FAQ: EU Batteries Regulation carbon footprint performance classes](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/carbon-footprint-classes.md)* Article 7 does not itself publish the calculation methodology, class boundaries, label formats, or maximum threshold values. It gives the Commission different tasks: delegated acts for the calculation and verification methodology, delegated acts for performance classes, implementing acts for the declaration and label formats, and delegated acts for maximum life-cycle carbon footprint thresholds. - Calculation dependency: delegated act for calculating and verifying the carbon footprint. - Declaration dependency: implementing act for the carbon footprint declaration format. - Class dependency: delegated act establishing carbon footprint performance classes, plus an implementing act for label and class-declaration formats. - Threshold dependency: delegated act determining maximum life-cycle carbon footprint thresholds for the relevant Article 7 categories. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries - Article 7 delegated and implementing acts](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1542/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Article 7 separates Commission powers for methodology, declaration format, class rules, label formats, and maximum thresholds. - [Draft Commission act on the carbon footprint declaration format](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=PI_COM:Ares(2024)3131449&ref=sorena.io) - Draft notification source showing the proposed common fields for the Article 7 carbon footprint declaration format. - [JRC methodological support for industrial battery carbon footprints](https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/jrc-news-and-updates/calculating-carbon-footprint-industrial-batteries-methodological-support-2025-05-28_en?ref=sorena.io) - JRC source explaining that industrial-battery carbon-footprint methodology work feeds into later delegated-act development. ### [What evidence should teams keep before class boundaries are known?](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/carbon-footprint-classes.md#what-evidence-should-teams-keep-before-class-boundaries-are-known) *Module: [FAQ: EU Batteries Regulation carbon footprint performance classes](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/carbon-footprint-classes.md)* Until the relevant class and threshold acts are available for the battery category, the useful evidence is the category and model analysis, calculation inputs, declaration fields, and change-control history. The regulation expects technical documentation to support the declared carbon footprint value and the class, including calculations and the evidence determining the input data. - Battery category, model identifier, manufacturing plant, and external-storage assessment for industrial batteries. - Bill of materials, energy mix, auxiliary materials, lifecycle-stage values, and public study link used for the declaration. - Record of the delegated and implementing acts used for methodology, declaration format, class labels, and thresholds. - Recalculation trigger log for bill-of-materials changes and energy-mix changes. - Technical documentation showing the carbon footprint value, class basis, calculations, and input-data evidence once class rules apply. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries - Annex II and Annex VIII](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1542/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Annex II supports model-and-plant-specific calculation records; Annex VIII requires a study supporting Article 7 values and class. - [Draft Commission act on the carbon footprint declaration format](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=PI_COM:Ares(2024)3131449&ref=sorena.io) - Draft declaration format lists practical declaration fields, including manufacturer, model, plant location, lifecycle-stage values, conformity declaration number, and public study link. ### [What should teams avoid saying about carbon footprint classes?](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/carbon-footprint-classes.md#what-should-teams-avoid-saying-about-carbon-footprint-classes) *Module: [FAQ: EU Batteries Regulation carbon footprint performance classes](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/carbon-footprint-classes.md)* Do not publish class boundaries, width of classes, or maximum threshold values unless the relevant delegated act for the battery category supports them. The regulation explains the factors the Commission must use, but it does not turn those factors into final numeric class boundaries in Article 7 itself. - Avoid unsupported A/B/C boundary tables for Article 7 classes. - Avoid using a draft methodology or declaration format as if it were a final class-boundary act. - Avoid merging declaration timing, class-label timing, and maximum-threshold timing into one obligation. - Avoid one calculation record for multiple plants when the regulation requires model-per-plant support. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries - Annex II class and threshold conditions](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1542/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Annex II states that class thresholds and maximum carbon thresholds depend on market distribution, technical factors, and dedicated Commission assessment. ## FAQ Pagination - Canonical index (page 1): [/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/items](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/items.md) - Page 1 rule: `/page/1` is intentionally not generated; use the canonical index markdown URL. - Current page: 3 of 3 Pages: [1](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/items.md) | [2](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/items/page/2.md) | [3](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/items/page/3.md) [Previous page](/artifacts/eu/batteries-regulation/faq/items/page/2.md) *Recommended next step* *Placement: after evidence section* ## Build a Batteries Regulation evidence file Use the FAQ answers to route each battery model by category, owner, source, label or passport field, due diligence record, removability evidence, and waste responsibility record. - [Open Research Copilot](/solutions/research-copilot.md): Check Batteries Regulation questions against cited EU source material. - [Discuss Batteries Regulation implementation](/contact.md): Review category routing, conformity evidence, passport fields, and waste responsibility with Sorena. --- [Privacy Policy](https://www.sorena.io/privacy) | [Terms of Use](https://www.sorena.io/terms-of-use) | [DMCA](https://www.sorena.io/dmca) | [About Us](https://www.sorena.io/about-us) (c) 2026 Sorena AB (559573-7338).
