   EUROPEAN COMMISSION  Brussels, 21.5.2025  COM(2025) 258 final 2025/0129 (COD)  Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 as regards obligations of economic operators concerning battery due diligence policies (Text with EEA relevance)  
 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1. 

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

Reasons for and objectives of the proposal 

• 
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 (1) aims to  contribute to the efficient  functioning of the  internal 
market, while preventing and reducing the adverse impacts of batteries on the environment. It 
also  aims  to  protect  the  environment  and  human  health  by  preventing  and  reducing  the 
adverse impacts of the generation and management of waste batteries. It imposes among other 
things battery due diligence obligations on economic operators placing batteries on the market 
or putting them into service. These obligations are to be applied from 18 August 2025. 

Battery  raw  material  supply  chains  are  affected  by  a  shifting  geopolitical  landscape.  This 
leaves  the  battery  industry  with  many  challenges  in  particular  related  to  sourcing  raw 
materials. It takes time to analyse and adjust supply chains. 

Furthermore, one of the battery due diligence obligations is that economic operators’ battery 
due diligence policies are verified by a notified body (‘third-party verification’). Only about 
half  of  the  Member  States  have  appointed  their  notifying  authority  in  charge  of  the 
assessment, notification and monitoring of conformity assessment bodies. In many cases such 
applications would be based on accreditation, but the European co-operation for Accreditation 
association has not been able to determine a standard for the accreditation of notified bodies 
for battery due diligence. It instead indicated that this should rely on schemes approved by the 
European Commission. 

Due diligence schemes being developed by industry associations and groupings of interested 
organisations are expected to play an important role in the implementation of the battery due 
diligence obligations. The provisions on such schemes in Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 mirror 
those  of  Regulation  (EU)  2017/821,  for  which  several  schemes  are  being  assessed  for 
recognition,  but  no  scheme  has  been  recognised  to  date.  Schemes  that  address  battery  raw 
materials  still  need  to  be  further  developed  and  implemented  and  then  go  through  the 
recognition process for schemes under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. 

In addition, Article 94(4) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 requires the Commission to assess, 
one year after the Directive (EU) 2024/1760 on corporate sustainability due diligence (2) was 
adopted, whether amendments to the battery due diligence obligations are necessary in light 
of  the  adoption  of  that  Directive.  While  it  is  too  early  for  such  an  assessment,  especially 
because the Commission proposed amendments to Directive (EU) 2024/1760 on 26 February 
2025, consistency in implementation could be improved by developing the guidelines for both 
pieces of legislation hand in hand, if the application dates allow to do so. 

For  these  reasons,  the  Commission  considers  that  the  date  of  application  of  the  battery  due 
diligence  obligations  specified  in  Article  48(1)  of  Regulation  (EU)  2023/1542  should  be 
postponed by two years to allow economic operators placing batteries on the EU market to be 
better prepared, with the help of guidelines, and to allow time to resolve difficulties with the 
availability of notified bodies.

Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2023 concerning 
batteries  and  waste  batteries,  amending  Directive  2008/98/EC  and  Regulation  (EU)  2019/1020  and 
repealing Directive 2006/66/EC (OJ L 191, 28.7.2023, p. 1). 
Directive (EU) 2024/1760 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2024 on corporate 
sustainability due diligence and amending Directive (EU) 2019/1937 and Regulation (EU) 2023/2859 
(OJ L, 2024/1760, 5.7.2024, p. 1).

• 

Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area 

The adoption of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 was an integral part of the European Green Deal 
and  is  coherent  with  its  overall  objectives  and  all  the  initiatives  developed  under  it.  This 
proposal does not amend any substantive rules of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 but merely aims 
to  accord  additional  time  for  economic  operators  placing  batteries  on  the  EU  market  to  be 
better prepared and to resolve difficulties with the availability of notified bodies. 

• 

Consistency with other Union policies 

Directive  (EU)  2024/1760  on  corporate  sustainability  due  diligence  lays  down  rules  and 
obligations to ensure that companies identify and address potential and actual adverse human 
rights  and  environmental  impacts  in  the  company’s  own  operations,  their  subsidiaries  and, 
when related to their chains of activities, those of their business partners. 

Directive (EU) 2024/1760  was  adopted after the adoption of Regulation  (EU) 2023/1542. It 
specifies  that  the  Directive  is  ‘without  prejudice  to  obligations  in  the  areas  of  human, 
employment and social rights, and of protection of the environment and climate change under 
other  Union  legislative  acts’,  and  that  ‘if  a  provision  of  this  Directive  conflicts  with  a 
provision  of  another  Union  legislative  act  pursuing  the  same  objectives  and  providing  for 
more extensive or more specific obligations, the provision of that other Union legislative act 
shall prevail to the extent of the conflict and shall apply as regards those specific obligations.’ 
This  is  the  case  for  the  more  specific  requirements  of  the  battery  due  diligence  policy  in 
Regulation  (EU)  2023/1542.  Operators  in  the  battery  supply  chain  must  therefore  apply  the 
battery due diligence policy of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 insofar as they are more extensive 
or  more  specific,  instead  of  the  equivalent  provisions  in  Directive  (EU)  2024/1760  for  the 
supply  chain  stages  and  the  minerals  specified.  For  other  operations,  operators  in  scope  of 
both legislative acts must follow the rules of Directive (EU) 2024/1760. 

There are some elements where the due diligence obligations of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 
are  not  harmonious  with  the  provisions  of  Directive  (EU)  2024/1760.  This  is  because 
Regulation  (EU)  2023/1542  is  product-specific  and  Directive  (EU)  2024/1760  is  cross-
sectorial. 

This  proposal  addresses  consistency  to  the  extent  possible  by  harmonising  the  publication 
dates for guidelines under both pieces of legislation so they can be developed hand in hand.

LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY 

Legal basis 

Due  diligence  obligations  on  economic  operators  placing  batteries  on  the  market  or  putting 
them into service should prevent and reduce adverse impacts of batteries on the environment 
and ensure a sustainable battery value chain. Such measures will help to ensure the transition 
to  a  circular  economy  and  the  long-term  competitiveness  of  the  EU.  They  should  also 
contribute to the efficient functioning of the internal market, while taking into account a high 
level of protection of the environment. To prevent divergences hampering the free circulation 
of  batteries  Article  114  of  the  Treaty  on  the  Functioning  of  the  European  Union  should  be 
used as a legal basis of the proposal. 

• 

Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence) 

This  initiative  is  consistent  with  the  principle  of  subsidiarity.  Given  the  need  to  modify 
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 by postponing the application of its due diligence obligations, the 
objectives of this initiative cannot be achieved by the Member States themselves. 

EN

  EN 

• 

Proportionality 

The  proposal  is  consistent  with  the  principle  of  proportionality,  i.e.  it  does  not  go  beyond 
what  is  necessary  to  meet  the  objectives  of  the  Treaties  and  in  particular  the  smooth 
functioning of the internal market. As with the subsidiarity test, it is not possible for Member 
States  to  address  the  issues  without  a  proposal  to  amend  the  date  of  application  of  the  due 
diligence obligations of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. 

• 

Choice of the instrument 

The  proposal  amends  Regulation  (EU)  2023/1542  concerning  batteries  and  waste  batteries 
only  as  regards  the  postponement  of  the  date  of  application.  It  should  therefore  follow  the 
same type of act, i.e. a regulation.

due diligence obligations of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. 

• 

Regulatory fitness and simplification 

The  main  goal  of  this  proposal  is  to  postpone  the  date  of  application  of  the  due  diligence 
obligations of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 by two years to allow economic operators placing 
batteries  on  the  EU  market  to  be  better  prepared,  with  the  help  of  guidelines,  and  resolve 
difficulties with third-party verification. 

The  proposal  does  not  change  the  substance  of  the  rules,  it  only  postpones  their  date  of 
application.

Proposal for a 

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL 

amending Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 as regards obligations of economic operators 
concerning battery due diligence policies 

(Text with EEA relevance) 

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  on  the  Functioning  of  the  European  Union,  and  in  particular 
Article 114 thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission, 

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1), 

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,

(2) 

Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) sets out 
battery  due  diligence  obligations  that  cover  the  sourcing,  processing  and  trading  of 
cobalt, natural graphite, lithium and nickel used for battery manufacturing. Those due 
diligence obligations are to be applied from 18 August 2025. 

At a time when the geopolitical landscape continues to shift, various challenges need 
to  be  overcome,  including  in  sourcing  of  raw  materials.  Battery  manufacturers  need 
time to analyse and, where necessary, adjust their supply chains as a result. 

The battery due diligence obligations include requirements for third-party verification 
by  notified  bodies.  However,  the  designation  of  notified  bodies  for  battery  due 
diligence policies is taking longer than expected. Due diligence schemes recognised by 
the Commission in accordance with Article 53 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542  would 
facilitate  the  work  of  economic  operators  and  of  notified  bodies.  However,  due 
diligence schemes addressing battery raw materials still need to be further developed 
and implemented, and then go through the recognition process. 

In order to provide sufficient time for the notification of conformity assessment bodies 
and to allow economic operators placing batteries on the market to be in a position to 
comply  with  their  obligations,  the  date  of  application  of  the  battery  due  diligence 
policies set out in Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, should be postponed by two years.

Directive  (EU)  2024/1760  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  (3)  lays 
down rules and obligations to ensure that companies identify and address potential and 
actual  adverse  human  rights  and  environmental  impacts  in  the  company’s  own 
operations,  the  operations  of  their  subsidiaries  and,  where  related  to  their  chains  of 
activities, the operations of their business partners.  

The Commission is to publish, in accordance with Article 48(5) Article of Regulation 
(EU)  2023/1542,  guidelines  as  regards  the  application  of  the  due  battery  diligence 
requirements. The Commission is to make available, in accordance with Article 19(2), 
point  (a)  of  Directive  (EU)  2024/1760,  guidelines  as  regards  guidance  and  best 
practices  on  how  to  conduct  due  diligence.  Consistency  between  Regulation  (EU) 
2023/1542  and  Directive  (EU)  2024/1760  is  important  for  companies  in  the  battery 
supply chain. Therefore, the relevant dates for the publication and making available of 
those guidelines should be harmonised. 

Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 should therefore be amended accordingly. 

This  Regulation  should  enter  into  force  as  a  matter  of  urgency  on  the  day  following 
that  of  its  publication  in  the  Official  Journal  of  the  European  Union  and  it  should
