Battery Passport Battery Regulation 2023/1542

Training for You and Your Team

Most problems with the new EU law do not stem from a lack of willingness, but from the fact that you have likely, and unknowingly, taken on the full legal responsibility of a Manufacturer.

Are you placing batteries on the market, importing them into Poland, or perhaps your team is building custom packs from ready-made cells? From the perspective of EU market surveillance and your BDO register account, 100% of the risk very often falls on you. The new Battery Regulation 2023/1542 is not a thing of the future; it is already revolutionizing the market today. A lack of proper technical documentation, gaps in risk assessment, or errors in CE marking is a direct route to having your goods stopped at the border, key B2B sales blocked, and facing massive financial penalties that will directly hit your profit margin.

New battery regulations. What are you really facing in your business?

Clashing with the new EU law is a massive organizational shock. As a decision-maker, you must immediately face specific, tangible flashpoints:

• Unknowingly assuming legal responsibility – are you importing cells from the EU or Asia into Poland and accounting for them under your BDO account? To the authorities, you are the one responsible for the product's legality. A standard contract with a foreign supplier will not shield you from key obligations, such as a documented risk assessment or chemical composition testing.

• Sales blockades and financial risk – failing to comply with strict formalities, e.g., a lack of appropriate material information on the label or lacking the architecture for the Digital Battery Passport, results in an immediate ban on making your product available on the EU market, along with severe penalties.

• Operational paralysis during export – are you shipping goods from Poland to other EU member states? A lack of precise compliance analysis carries a massive risk of entire batches being returned and the termination of your lucrative B2B contracts with Western partners.

• Drastic surge in operational costs – maintaining active QR codes, tracking ever-changing delegated acts, and continuously updating data require hundreds of man-hours from your team. If you don't optimize this process now, you will lose profitability on every single cell sold.

Digital Battery Passport. What do you need to know today?

From an engineering and legal perspective, the Digital Battery Passport is one of the most demanding requirements of Regulation 2023/1542. It is a dynamic, electronic data record accessible by scanning a QR code on the casing. It requires the integration of information regarding the carbon footprint, exact chemical composition, recycling, and the entire raw material supply chain.

• When will this obligation hit your company? The Passport becomes mandatory on February 18, 2027. However, from the perspective of IT architecture and enforcing data from suppliers, preparing your systems requires months of work that you must start in this very quarter.

• Does this apply to your products? Passportization covers electric vehicle (EV) batteries, light means of transport (LMT – e.g., e-bikes, e-scooters), and industrial batteries with a capacity exceeding 2 kWh.

• A key fact that your competition forgets: The Passport must be clearly separated from the Battery Regulation itself. The Regulation applies to you right now. It covers all your cells, batteries (lithium-ion, alkaline, lead-acid, etc.), and battery packs placed on the EU market, imposing absolute documentation obligations that authorities can inspect as early as tomorrow.

Technical and Regulatory Workshop. "Battery Regulation in Practice"

In your business, there is no time for the academic reading of legislation. I provide you with hard-hitting, workshop-based knowledge that will bulletproof your processes and protect your company from sanctions. I design the training strictly around the specifics of your particular products and map it to your team's actual procedures.

What will we streamline in your company?

• The scope of Regulation 2023/1542 across your portfolio – we will analyze, point by point, which of your products (primary vs. rechargeable cells, ready-made packs, lithium/acid technologies) are subject to specific legal restrictions.

• Your role in the supply chain and liability map – we will precisely determine what you are paying for and where you bear penal risk. I will show you exactly when selling under your own brand (white-labeling), a minor label change, or physically building a pack makes you the legal Manufacturer.

• The architecture of compliance documentation and CE marking – Declaration of Conformity (DoC), technical documentation, instructions. We will create a checklist of what you must absolutely enforce from your supplier before you even bring their product into your warehouse.

• Labeling infrastructure and the Battery Passport – You will learn how to prepare product labels and QR codes, both physically and systematically, to avoid having your batches of goods blocked.

• "Live organism" case study – We will break down your daily business operations into prime factors, e.g., selling "bare" cells to integrators, homologating your own battery packs, or redistributing Asian imports to other EU countries.

Who from your company should be involved in this process?

These regulations impact your entire operational structure. For the training to bring a real return on investment, delegate the product decision-makers:

• Purchasing and Supplier Qualification Department: This is your first line of defense. They must know exactly what certificates to demand during the procurement process.

• Product Managers and R&D Engineers: The people selecting cells for new devices within your company.

• Export/Import and Compliance Specialists: The people responsible for the smooth flow of customs clearance.

• B2B Sales Representatives and Sales Directors: They are the ones promising your clients full product compliance, and they will bear the consequences of potential returns.

Organization and Investment in Your Company's Security

I will not offer you ready-made templates. Before the training, I analyze your product portfolio and your actual role in the supply chain to deliver only the substantive elements that you and your team need right now.

• Duration: 5–6 hours of intensive workshop sessions (a full working day, including breaks for discussing your specific cases).

• Group size: up to 15 people.

• On-site training: 8,900 PLN net / per group.

• Online training (interactive): 7,400 PLN net.

Important note: The price above covers the comprehensive preparation and delivery of the dedicated training. If you require a deep, engineering compliance assessment (compliance audit) of specific products you have already placed on the market—I will price such a process for you individually after reviewing your technical documentation.

Daniel Trzciński | Product Compliance Expert, DLP Poland

On a daily basis, I help companies like yours secure their supply chains, verify faulty technical documentation, and actively manage compliance risks. I have 15 years of experience in conformity assessment, product certification, and homologation when placing products on the European Union market.

As an advisor to the Polish Committee for Standardization (PKN), I actively support the standardization body in reviewing, modifying, and approving national and international standards. By education, I am an engineer specializing in consumer automation solutions, which allows me to perfectly bridge hard engineering knowledge with an understanding of complex regulations (including the New Approach Directives, CE marking process management, and the requirements of the Battery Regulation).

My workshops are pure substance: zero academic reading of regulations, 100% brutal, practical knowledge regarding where companies lose money due to documentation gaps and how you can systematically protect yourself from having your goods blocked by market surveillance authorities.

We discuss this classification model and precise implementation steps in detail during the workshops. If you want to check whether this training addresses the current competency gaps within your organization, contact me. I will gladly exchange insights and analyze your specific case with no sales obligations.
