Batteries compliance: keep in step with regulatory changes

Batteries compliance is a prominent topic for product developers as more devices and innovations rely on battery power across a variety of product areas, including electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), toys, medical devices, electric vehicles, solar power and more.

Battery power is seen as a key focus for sustainable development, for a transition to climate neutrality, and a circular economy. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the demand for batteries is set to increase 14-fold by 2030.

Minimizing impacts on the environment is at the forefront of regulators’ aims around the world. With the levels of innovation and increase in usage, updated and new regulations and laws are coming into effect that need to be understood and implemented by businesses.
