Intermediate2h 15m # EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 Compliance Course Comply with EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542: battery categories, substance limits, carbon footprint, recycled content, labelling and the battery passport. Assuming a delayed deadline means a cancelled obligation, relying on a supplier's general sustainability claim instead of a verified carbon footprint declaration, or reusing label artwork across model variants are the ordinary, recurring ways battery manufacturers and importers lose months — or face a market surveillance recall — over EU Battery Regulation compliance. None of this is exotic. It's a process problem, and it's fixable with the right framework applied from first product scoping onward, not bolted on right before a deadline. This course teaches Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 from first principles to complete practical compliance: the five battery categories and how to determine which one governs your product, the legal framework that fully replaced the 2006 Battery Directive, every economic operator role from manufacturer to authorised representative, substance restrictions on mercury, cadmium, and lead, carbon footprint declarations for EV and industrial batteries, recycled content targets for cobalt, lithium, nickel, and lead running through 2036, performance, durability, and safety requirements including battery management system state-of-health data, conformity assessment routes and CE marking, complete labelling requirements including the mandatory QR code, the digital battery passport in real depth — what it contains, how to build it, and how to keep it accurate — due diligence obligations for responsible sourcing, removability and replaceability design requirements, waste battery collection targets and extended producer responsibility, recycling efficiency and material recovery, documentation and audit readiness, and how this framework compares to battery regulation in China and the United States. Every module ends with a knowledge check, and the closing modules walk two realistic case studies and a complete industrial energy storage battery compliance walkthrough end to end before turning what you've learned into your own compliance action plan and calendar. Common failure patterns — miscategorized batteries, unverified sustainability claims, deferred passport preparation — are covered as they occur throughout the course, not just listed once at the end. Built on Krono's regulatory database and current 2026 guidance on the carbon footprint rollout, the due diligence postponement to August 2027, and the February 2027 battery passport deadline. This course contains the use of artificial intelligence for asthetic purposes. * Includes the ebook edition, free * 8 downloadable resources included ## What you'll learn * Assign every economic operator role correctly — manufacturer, importer, distributor, authorised representative * Select the right conformity assessment route and complete CE marking correctly * Design and verify complete labelling, including the mandatory QR code linking to the battery passport * Build and maintain a digital battery passport ahead of the February 2027 deadline * Prepare for due diligence obligations on responsible sourcing ahead of the August 2027 compliance date, meet removability, collection, and recycling efficiency requirements, and build your own compliance action plan ## Requirements * ·No prior EU regulatory experience required — the course starts from first principles * ·Some familiarity with battery technology, hardware manufacturing, or supply chain management is helpful but not essential * ·Battery and pack manufacturers, sustainability leads, EV/electronics OEMs, and importers will all benefit $149.00 One-time purchase · Lifetime access · No subscription Less than one hour with a compliance consultant.
