EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 introduced new labelling and documentation rules. Most manufacturers outside the EU aren't up to date. You carry the risk.
A single gap — a wrong article reference, a missing QR code — can get your container rejected or seized at the EU border.
Every day your goods sit in customs storage costs money. Correcting documentation after the container is loaded is slow and often impossible.
A compliance advisor charges thousands and takes weeks. You need the answer before you confirm the order — not after the container is at sea.
Submit the PDF your manufacturer provided — a declaration of conformity, UN38.3 test summary, technical specification or safety data sheet.
PDF · DOC · all formatsOur system reads the document and checks it against Articles 13, 38 and Annexes VI and XIII of EU Regulation 2023/1542. It only cites what is actually in the document.
Rule-based document analysisGet a structured APPROVED / CONDITIONAL / NOT APPROVED result with a complete requirement-by-requirement review, precise article references and recommended actions.
Downloadable PDF reportWe cross-reference your PDF against 10 explicit checks from EU Regulation 2023/1542, UN Manual §38.3 and REACH. Every finding cites the Article or Annex it comes from — no guessing, no AI hallucination.
Full test-summary verification: altitude, thermal, vibration, shock, external short circuit, impact/crush, overcharge and forced discharge.
Capacity in Wh/kWh, chemistry identifier, manufacturing date, separate-collection symbol, Cd/Pb markings where applicable.
Non-EU manufacturers must name an EU-established authorised rep with a complete postal address on the DoC and label.
Life-cycle CO₂e declaration per kWh, phased in by category: EV batteries first (Feb 2025), then industrial ≥2 kWh, then LMT, then rechargeable portable.
Clear, cited and action-oriented. No vague summaries.
| Requirement | Article | Status | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| CE marking declaration present | Art. 13 | OK | CE mark explicitly referenced on page 2, section 3.1. |
| Declaration of Conformity (DoC) referenced | Art. 13 | OK | DoC number BT-2024-0044 cited. Issuing body: TÜV Rheinland. |
| Notified Body (NB) stated | Art. 13 | OK | NB 0197 stated in section 4. |
| Battery passport / QR code reference | Art. 38 + Annex XIII | Missing | No QR code or battery passport ID found. Required for EV batteries from 18 February 2027 and industrial batteries ≥2 kWh from 18 February 2027. Critical gap. |
| Capacity marking in kWh | Annex VI Part A | Unclear | Capacity stated as «5000mAh» only. Watt-hour value not explicitly stated. May require clarification. |
| Chemical composition stated | Art. 13 + Annex VI | OK | Lithium-ion (NMC) chemistry stated. Hazardous substances listed in section 6. |

For context — a 10-day EU customs hold on a battery container typically runs €1 500–€4 000 in demurrage plus inspection fees; documentation penalties under national enforcement can reach €40 000 for serious or repeated violations. A consultant pre-check runs €800–€2 000.
From 18 February 2027, EU Regulation 2023/1542 Article 77 requires every battery in three categories sold or placed in service in the EU to carry a Digital Battery Passport. Here's the short version.
Light Means of Transport (e-bikes, e-scooters), industrial batteries above 2 kWh (forklift, grid storage), and EV traction batteries.
Every unit needs its own UUID, its own QR code printed on the battery or its packaging, and its own public web URL hosting a standardised JSON-LD document.
The passport is a structured web payload at a permanent URL — readable by humans, customs scanners and aggregator platforms. We host the resolver URL for the life of the battery.
EU manufacturers issue the passport directly. Importers of non-EU batteries become the responsible party. Authorised representatives can act for non-EU brands.
Our system is built to only cite what is actually in your document — against Articles 13, 38 and Annexes VI and XIII of EU 2023/1542. It never guesses.
Uploaded files are stored securely and linked only to your account. We process a minimum of data. Documents are never shared or indexed.
Every report states which version of the regulation was used. When EU legislation is updated, we update the criteria and version the change.
If a report is unclear or does not deliver value, we refund in full. No questions asked.
BatteryComply provides automated risk assessments of technical documentation. Reports identify potential documentation gaps against EU Regulation 2023/1542.
Reports do not constitute legal advice, do not guarantee customs clearance, and do not replace advice from a qualified legal or customs professional.
Regulation updates are made manually and versioned. Always verify that the regulation version is current at the time of import.
Every finding cites the Article or Annex it came from. Read our full audit methodology, or jump straight to the regulations we check against.
