Why is the VDE addressing the topic of batteries and waste batteries?
The Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 brings with it a number of challenges for both companies and consumers. Some of these challenges include:
- Implementation deadlines and time pressure: companies must meet the requirements of the regulation within certain deadlines, which can lead to increased time pressure.
- Complex standardization processes : The creation of harmonized standards and the creation of new standards on important topics is proving to be a complex task.
- Uncertainties and interpretation problems : There are industry-wide uncertainties regarding the interpretation of requirements, implementation concepts and responsibilities along the battery life cycle.
- Lack of testing standards: There is a lack of testing standards in some cases, particularly for lifetime testing and the testing of batteries that have already been used.
- Reporting obligations and documentation requirements: Companies have to fulfill special reporting obligations and evaluate documentation requirements, which means additional work.
The VDE info paper on the Battery Ordinance can help to overcome these challenges by providing a clear overview of the requirements of the ordinance, highlighting possible solutions and helping companies and consumers to optimally prepare for the new regulations. In the VDE info paper you will find all our services and types of testing that we offer you as a reliable partner.
