The EU Battery Regulation

The Battery Regulation chapters, articles, and paragraphs will not be applied simultaneously but will follow a time interval from 2024 to 2037. Moreover, within the regulation, several Delegated Acts and Implementing Acts are foreseen, which will be crucial to fill gaps in regulation, standardize its implementation, and adapt it to future technical and market developments. The publication of these acts is expected between 2024 and 2031.
