Driving Innovation with Safe and Sustainable Battery Services

Batteries are at the heart of modern innovation, driving advancements across industries—from electric mobility to renewable energy storage. As the demand for high-performance and sustainable battery solutions grows, ensuring their safety, reliability and compliance with evolving regulations is more critical than ever.

At DEKRA, we provide end-to-end battery services that support manufacturers, operators and businesses throughout the battery life cycle. Our expertise spans product testing, certification and training, helping you navigate technical and regulatory challenges while fostering innovation. Whether for electric vehicles, energy storage systems or industrial applications, our solutions ensure that your batteries meet the highest global standards for safety, performance and sustainability.

EU Battery Regulation

The EU Battery Regulation sets stricter requirements for sustainability, safety and performance across all battery types, including EV and energy storage batteries. It introduces carbon footprint limits, hazardous substance restrictions and higher recycling targets. A digital battery passport will be mandatory for certain batteries from February 18, 2027, ensuring better transparency and traceability. The regulation follows a phased rollout, impacting the entire battery value chain until 2036.
