SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published a new Consumer Compact article outlining the key requirements and business impacts of the EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542.

It also highlights how SGS supports organizations through testing, verification, conformity assessment and regulatory compliance services.
With obligations being introduced in phases, understanding the regulation and preparing for future requirements will be critical for maintaining EU market access and reducing compliance risk.
