European Battery Regulation

EUBR-EU-Battery-Regulation-2

From mine to recycling: meet EU battery compliance

The EU Battery Regulation introduces the most comprehensive framework to date for batteries in Europe. Covering the entire lifecycle from raw material extraction to recycling, it sets requirements for sustainability, safety, performance, carbon footprint, labelling and due diligence. Non-compliance can result in fines, market withdrawal, loss of EU market authorisation and even criminal liability for severe violations.

NQC’s SUPPLIERASSURANCE platform includes the EU Battery Assessment (EUBA), a dynamic tool that adapts to each supplier’s role in the value chain. By combining supply chain mapping, OECD-aligned risk assessment, evidence collection and battery passport readiness checks, it helps organisations prepare for compliance and protect EU market access.

Understanding the EU Battery Regulation

The EU Battery Regulation sets out strict requirements for batteries and related components, covering everything from materials and recycling to due diligence and compliance. These FAQs explain who is affected, what the law requires and how SUPPLIERASSURANCE supports preparation.

 

How NQC supports EU Battery Regulation compliance

The SUPPLIERASSURANCE platform provides a complete framework for organisations preparing for EUBR. The platform helps buyers and suppliers understand risks, track critical materials and recycled content, and assess compliance with EU requirements. The EU Battery Assessment (EUBA), delivered within the ASSURE module, supports this by collecting battery-specific evidence while maintaining visibility across the wider supply chain.
Map & assess

Map & assess

Evaluate suppliers of batteries and related components against internationally recognised OECD due diligence principles. Identify risks linked to sourcing, production and supply chain practices.

Track materials

Track materials

Collect reliable data on hazardous substances, critical raw materials and recycled content. Monitor whether suppliers can meet EU recovery and recycling targets.

Demonstrate compliance

Demonstrate compliance

Check conformity with requirements on safety, labelling, performance and carbon footprint. Capture the evidence needed to demonstrate compliance and prepare for battery passport obligations.
