On July 30, 2025, the European Commission (EC) enacted Regulation (EU) 2025/1561 amending Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 regarding economic operators’ obligations concerning battery due diligence policies.
This Regulation postponed the implementation of due diligence obligations for economic operators from Aug. 18, 2025, to Aug. 18, 2027.
In addition, this Regulation also postponed the deadline to publish guidelines regarding due diligence requirements from Feb. 18, 2025, to July 26, 2026.
These postponements grant economic operators more time to comply with due diligence requirements for batteries placed on the EU market and facilitate the designation of notified bodies involved in verifying these requirements, which is taking more time than expected.
