JBCE Feedback on the Proposed New Batteries Labelling Rules

On 26 January 2026, JBCE submitted its views on the proposed new batteries labelling rules.

JBCE calls for:

• Information disclosed through labelling to be limited to what is truly necessary and useful for relevant stakeholders, to avoid confusion. In addition, due consideration should be given to providing greater flexibility for manufacturers in implementing the requirements.
• Ensuring coherence with existing EU legislation to avoid inconsistency, duplication and inefficiency.
• Flexible labelling formats to reflect different product types, size constraints and real-life conditions of use.
• Clear rules, adequate transition periods, and due consideration of foreseeable costs and practical difficulties in reflecting information to ensure a smooth and effective implementation.
