Ensure compliance, safeguard your market access

New rules — experienced support

The new EU Battery Regulation means that, as a manufacturer of batteries based in Germany or selling on the German market, you are faced with significantly extended obligations. In order to continue operating in compliance with the law and maintain access to the German market, you must take the following measures:
 

• Fulfil Extended Producer Obligations: Manufacturers must ensure they take full responsibility for their products’ lifecycle, including collection and recycling.
• Appoint an Authorised Representative: Foreign manufacturers must designate a repre-sentative based in Germany.
• Update your registration: Producers must ensure their data is current in the national battery register.
• Join a Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO): Participation in an approved PRO is necessary to legally place batteries on the German market.

Each of these steps involves logistical, administrative, and regulatory components that can be complex to manage alone. That’s where GRS Service GmbH comes in.
