CE-The EU Battery and EU New Battery Law

What is CE Certification？

The CE mark is the "passport" for products to enter the EU and EFTA markets. Any regulated products covered by the new method directive, whether produced inside or outside the EU, must complete CE certification testing and obtain CE certification before being placed on the EU market.

This CE certification application ensures compliance with directives, relevant coordination standards, and the EU new battery regulation. Through CE electrical certification and professional CE certification services provided by MCM, products meet uniform technical standards, simplifying trade procedures.

What is EU New Battery Law?

The EU Battery and Waste Battery Regulation was proposed by the European Union in December 2020 to gradually repeal Directive 2006/66/EC, amend Regulation (EU) No 2019/1020, and update EU battery legislation, also known as the EU New Battery Law, and will officially enter into force on August 17, 2023.

• CE Directives

The directive is a legislative document prepared by the council of the European Community and the commission of the European Community pursuant to the mandate of the European Community Treaty. Battery is applicable to the following directives:

• 2006/66/EC&2013/56/EU: battery directive; The Posting of garbage can sign must comply with this directive;
• 2014/30/EU: electromagnetic compatibility directive (EMC directive), CE mark directive;
• 2011/65/EU:ROHS directive, CE mark directive;

Tips: when a product needs to meet the requirements of multiple CE directives (CE mark is needed), the CE mark can only be pasted when all the directives are met.
