European Battery Regulation – CE Marking

Dear Customer,

The European Battery Regulation requires battery manufacturers of portable batteries of general use to

apply the CE mark to the battery label, of if that is not possible due to size constraints, to the packaging,

by 17 August 2024. Specifically, the Regulation states:

CE marking shall be affixed visibly, legibly and indelibly to the battery. Where that is not possible or not

warranted due to the nature of the battery, it shall be affixed to the packaging and to the documents

accompanying the battery.

Energizer will be compliant with this requirement in one of several ways. First, many Energizer batteries

will have the CE mark imprinted on the label on or before 17 August 2024. In situations where that is not

possible due to size constraints, Energizer batteries will be accompanied by a CE declaration in external

packaging containing the CE mark.

In August 2024, Energizer’s use of the CE mark will be to declare conformity with Article 6 of the Battery

Regulation, Restrictions on Substances. Specifically, Energizer will confirm that its batteries satisfy the

Battery Regulations restrictions regarding Mercury, Cadmium, and Lead. Other Articles to which

manufacturers must conform by August 2024 that require the use of the CE mark do not apply to portable

batteries of general use.
