Batteries Compliance
Simplifying battery compliance
Why is Battery Compliance Important for Your Business?
If you make, import, or sell batteries in the UK then you have legal obligations to comply with various environmental regulations.
Non-compliance is an offence and enforcement action may be taken.

Your responsibilities
Am I obligated?
You are an ‘obligated’ battery producer if you:
- Have a UK presence and either:
- Import batteries (including those within products) into the UK and then selling them wholesale in the UK, and/or:
- UK manufacture of batteries selling to the public or to retailers
What do I need to do?
You must:
- Register as a battery Producer
- Report data on how many batteries you placed on the market
- Meet your portable battery recycling obligation (if applicable)
- Finance the collection, treatment, and recycling of waste portable batteries (if applicable)
- Take-back waste industrial and automotive batteries (if applicable)
