Substance Regulations
Assess the batteries in your products against restricted-substance limits, and track the carbon footprint, recycled-content, and digital passport obligations that EU Regulation 2023/1542 phases in.
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 goes well past substance limits, adding carbon footprint declarations, recycled-content minimums, and a digital passport. Compliance Manager assesses the batteries in your products, so here is what you get.
How Z2 helps
The batteries in your BOM assessed against 2023/1542 on day one from Z2's FMD and CoC database.
Each battery returned Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant.
Compliance status at every level of the product hierarchy.
CoCs, FMDs, and supplier declarations behind every assessment.
Z2-led campaigns collect the declarations you're missing.
Notified as each phase-in obligation takes effect.

Check every battery in your products against the mercury, cadmium, and lead limits at once.
Declaration duties
The regulation phases in a carbon footprint declaration and minimum recycled content for cobalt, lead, lithium, and nickel.
Battery passport
From 2027, LMT, industrial (>2 kWh), and EV batteries must carry a QR-linked passport.
One platform
The Battery Regulation is one of more than 270 global regulations Compliance Manager assesses on the same BOM.
In practice
Every battery in your BOM is checked against the mercury, cadmium, and lead limits on upload.
Carbon footprint and recycled-content declarations sit beside each battery's substance status.
Composition and supplier evidence are assembled now, ahead of the 2027 digital passport deadline.
Downloadable declarations and certificates sit behind every battery record, ready on request.
Battery status rolls up from each part to the finished product, so you release with confidence.
Alerts flag each phase-in obligation as it takes effect for the battery types you use.
Part of
automated material compliance across 270+ regulations, so RoHS, REACH, PFAS, conflict minerals, and more stay audit-ready.
Common Questions
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 keeps the mercury, cadmium, and lead restrictions of the old Battery Directive and adds carbon footprint declarations, recycled-content minimums, supply chain due diligence, and a digital battery passport. Compliance Manager assesses the batteries in your products against the restricted-substance limits and holds the supplier declarations behind the new duties in one repository.
Compliance Manager assesses each battery against the regulation's restricted-substance limits using Z2's database of declarations and certificates of compliance, classifying each as Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant, with the supporting documentation attached to every status.
The battery passport depends on composition, substance, and supplier data you must assemble in advance. Compliance Manager holds the declarations, substance data, and supplier evidence per battery as you assess, so the underlying record is built ahead of the 2027 passport requirements rather than reconstructed under deadline.
The obligations phase in on separate timelines: substance restrictions and carbon footprint declarations begin first, recycled-content minimums and the digital battery passport follow later in the decade. Compliance Manager tracks the phase-in dates and alerts you as each obligation takes effect for the battery types you use.
The EU Battery Regulation is one of more than 270 regulations Compliance Manager assesses on the same BOM, evaluated alongside RoHS, REACH, PFAS, and your other frameworks in one platform, with item rollup showing status at every level of the product hierarchy.
