EU battery regulation compliance & assurance
Challenges in battery assurance
Battery systems, particularly lithium-ion technologies, are at the heart of the global energy transition. From mobility to stationary applications, demand is surging but so are concerns about product quality, supply chain integrity, and long-term performance.
With intense competition, unproven suppliers, and global supply chain disruptions, buyers face growing risks related to delayed delivery, performance failure, and lack of traceability. As energy storage systems become more complex and critical, ensuring the reliability, safety, and bankability of battery products is more important than ever.

Staying charged: the evolving regulatory landscape needed for sustainable battery production
As we move towards a green transition, the demand for battery technology is significantly increasing. However, this demand brings with it a set of challenges for sustainable production, such as the potential shortages of critical minerals. In this article we look at how the EU Commission is developing a regulatory framework for battery production to encourage traceability and sustainable end-of-life processing.
