This tool is an obligations estimator, not legal advice. Verdicts are derived deterministically from Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and the delegated acts in force on the verified date. Obligations are amended periodically (most recently Omnibus IV, 2025) — verify with your national competent authority before placing batteries on the EU market.
