TÜV South China Hosts Battery Standard Update Forum, Helping Enterprises Enter Global Markets Safely and Efficiently
July 28, 2025 / PRNewswire / -- TÜV South China recently hosted a battery standard update forum in Shenzhen, aiming to help enterprises in the battery industry cope with increasingly strict international regulations. The conference focused on multiple countries' regulatory updates, control of hazardous substances in batteries, and the latest developments in EU battery regulations, attracting many industry experts and enterprise representatives who actively participated and discussed trends and innovative development paths.
Focusing on Global Standard Updates, Empowering Enterprises
As battery applications continue to expand into various fields of life, battery products have become deeply embedded. However, the requirements for batteries from various countries are becoming increasingly strict, requiring enterprises to grasp the latest regulations to avoid trade barriers and brand risks. TÜV South China's expert team used detailed data analysis and typical cases to help participating enterprises fully understand the global regulatory situation and proactively avoid potential trade risks. Many attendees stated that this forum provided detailed content, which is crucial for guiding enterprise compliance strategies.
Battery Safety: Multiple Countries' Standard Updates
As products continue to innovate, battery technology is rapidly evolving, with countries updating their regulations and standards in a dynamic manner, especially in major markets such as Europe and the United States. For example, the EU revised its standard for child-resistant packaging testing of lithium-ion batteries, while the US added high-speed charging tests, overload discharge tests, and thermal runaway tests to the UL2271 standard for lightweight transportation tool batteries.
Regulations Become More Precise, Raising Global Compliance Demands
Based on this, Ms. Woo Qi Ting, project manager of the Electronic-Electrical Battery Products Department at TÜV South China, systematically reviewed the latest changes in multiple countries' certification standards to help enterprises keep pace with global regulatory dynamics, improve product trustworthiness and market expansion efficiency, and support steady development of global business.

Battery Environmental Protection: Hazardous Substance Control New Requirements
Control of hazardous substances in batteries continues to strengthen. The EU requires batteries to meet the REACH Annex XVII specific hazardous substance limits, while the US strengthens control over lead, mercury, and cadmium content in battery production processes through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Enterprises need to implement higher standards in material sourcing, manufacturing, and testing. Considering this, Mr. Wei Feng, chief technical expert at TÜV South China's Electronic-Electrical Chemistry Department, systematically analyzed the latest control requirements and provided case studies on how to address them, helping enterprises effectively avoid risks of access barriers and product recalls.

EU Battery Regulations New Dynamics: (EU) 2023/1542 Hotspot Analysis
The EU battery regulations have received widespread attention since their implementation, covering numerous new nodes. Recently, Article 11 on the detachability and replaceability of portable and lightweight transportation tool batteries has become a focus area for industry, requiring higher design standards for products and devices. The European Commission's guidelines further refine the execution standards: upgrading "detachability" requirements from "not damaging equipment" to "not damaging batteries or equipment", presenting greater challenges for precise products such as soft-pack batteries and one-time fixed installations.
Based on this, Mr. Zhou Zongquan, project manager of TÜV South China's Electronic-Electrical Battery Products Department, thoroughly analyzed the new regulations to help enterprises precisely grasp policy details, optimize product design and supply chains, and ensure efficient compliance with EU market requirements.
