ANSMANN receives EU Commission to exchange on battery regulation
In mid-November, we welcomed a delegation from the European Commission, the Joint Research Centre (JRC).
The JRC is the scientific service of the European Commission and supports the EU in political decisions with independent research and scientific advice. We were also particularly pleased that one of our most important customers took part, with whom we had already discussed the requirements of the battery regulation intensively in the past.
EU battery regulation in focus
The visit was a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas with the European Commission on the practical implementation of the requirements of the Battery Regulation. A particularly important topic was the digital battery passport, for which we are currently developing a prototype. This should play a central role in the traceability of batteries. Another topic was the removability and replaceability of batteries in our products — a challenge that affects many manufacturers.
Outlook: Still on track
An important point of the meeting was the offer to involve us in the consultation process on the further drafting of the regulation in the future. This process makes it possible to incorporate different perspectives and expertise into the development of further regulations. It is important that we participate in this process to ensure that they are made practical and feasible.
In the coming months, we will continue to work on innovative solutions to make our processes and products sustainable and fit for the future. We are looking forward to further cooperation and are ANSMANN dates for 2025 looking forward to the next steps in this important area.
The exchange with the EU delegation confirmed to us that we are well positioned with our projects and initiatives to meet the requirements of the Battery Ordinance. We are not only prepared to meet these requirements, but we are also prepared to contribute our expertise and experience to the design of future guidelines.
