Europe

The EUʼs Integrated Battery Governance Framework EU policy, industrial strategy, and product regulation now converge under a single, vertically aligned framework. The EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 functions as the core legal backbone, linking CE marking, carbon footprint rules, supply chain due diligence, recycled content, and battery passport obligations to broader net-zero and strategic autonomy goals set by the Green Deal, NZIA, and CRMA. In parallel, vehicle-level regulations, such as emissions targets, introduce durability and performance requirements that further shape battery design, testing, and data obligations for EU market entry.
