What is Battery Compliance?

Our batteries content in C2P covers manufacturers, importers and sellers of batteries as well as products that contain batteries.

Regulations in this area may restrict the use of hazardous materials in batteries, require producers to take back and recycle waste batteries, establish sustainability, safety, marking and labeling requirements, information to allow the placing on the market or putting into service of batteries, and require that batteries in products be easily removable for disposal. Related regulations may cover energy efficiency for battery chargers.
