Carbon Footprint Verification for EU Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542

Ensuring Compliance with the EU Battery Regulation (EU 2023/1542)

Today, battery manufacturers face increasing pressure to prove the environmental performance of their products. Under the EU Battery Regulation, verified carbon footprint data is no longer optional — it's a legal requirement for market access and compliance.
With our independent carbon footprint verification, in line with Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, you can ensure your battery data meets the highest standards of accuracy, transparency, and credibility.

Why Verification?

Verification by an independent notified body is not only a legal requirement under the new Battery Regulation (2023/1542), but it ensures that carbon footprint data is accurate, consistent, and trustworthy. This confirms that the calculation is correct, uses qualified datasets, and respects the requirements as defined by the Delegated Regulation. This helps build trust across the value chain and reduce the risk of greenwashing, while also supporting compliance with broader EU sustainability policies.

Carbon Footprint Verification for Batteries – Regulation (EU) 2023/1542

Under Article 7 of the EU Battery Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1542), certain batteries placed on the EU market must be accompanied by a verified carbon footprint declaration.
This requirement initially applies to electric vehicle (EV) batteries, with additional battery types (such as rechargeable industrial and LMT batteries) to follow.
The methodology for calculating the carbon footprint is defined by a Commission Delegated Regulation and is based on the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method , specifically using the climate change impact category. The results must be reported in kilograms of CO₂-equivalent per kilowatt-hour (kg CO₂e/kWh), following strict system boundary and data quality rules.
To ensure credibility and compliance, the carbon footprint study must undergo independent third-party verification by a Notified Body designated for this task under the regulation.

Our Approach

Our carbon footprint verification process is designed to ensure that your battery-related carbon footprint declaration meets the strict requirements of the EU Battery Regulation (EU 2023/1542).
We also identify any unusually high uncertainties in the data and evaluate their potential impact on the total carbon footprint result.
Upon successful completion, you will receive a review report and certificate for internal and external communication. Based on experience, the entire process typically takes 2-3 months, depending on the time required for revisions.
