SGS Consumer Compact Highlights Key Requirements and Business Impacts of EU Battery Regulation
BAAR, SWITZERLAND / AGILITYPR.NEWS / July 15, 2026 / SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published a new Consumer Compact article outlining the key requirements and business impacts of the EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542.
As the regulation introduces more stringent and harmonized requirements for batteries placed on the EU market, manufacturers, importers and suppliers face increasingly complex compliance obligations across the entire battery life cycle.
The article explores the transition from the previous directive to a directly applicable regulation, new sustainability and transparency requirements, industry impacts, battery classifications and the evolving compliance landscape. It also highlights how SGS supports organizations through testing, verification, conformity assessment and regulatory compliance services.
With obligations being introduced in phases, understanding the regulation and preparing for future requirements will be critical for maintaining EU market access and reducing compliance risk.
Stakeholders are encouraged to read the full Consumer Compact article to learn about the requirements of EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 and discover how SGS can support their battery compliance journey.
