COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION(EU) 2025/2289
of 13 November 2025
laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and
of the Council as regards the format for the reporting of data as well as the assessment methods and
operational conditions for the collection and treatment of waste batteries
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2023 concerning
batteries and waste batteries, amending Directive 2008/98/EC and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and repealing
Directive 2006/66/EC(1), and in particular Article 76(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 76(1) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 requires Member States to make publicly available the data collected
pursuant to that paragraph, for each calendar year, in accordance with a format to be established by the Commission
and report that data to the Commission. The format should ensure that the reported data provides a sound basis for
verifying and monitoring the attainment of the minimum targets for the collection, as well as the attainment of the
targets for the recycling efficiency and the recovery of materials.
(2) Article 76(3) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 requires that the data made available by Member States in accordance
with paragraph 1 of that Article be accompanied by a quality check report.
(3) Comparability of the data reports and the quality check reports needs to be ensured in order to enable the
Commission to review the data reported in accordance with Article 76(4) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, including
the organisation of the data collection, the sources of data, the methodology used in Member States, as well as the
completeness, reliability, timeliness and consistency of those data.
(4) The data provided by Member States should enable the Commission to assess whether it is appropriate to revise the
targets for recycling efficiency and recovery of materials, due to market developments, in particular concerning
battery technologies impacting the type of materials recovered and the existing and forecasted availability of cobalt,
copper, lead, lithium or nickel or the lack thereof, and in view of technical and scientific progress. Furthermore, that
data should enable the Commission to assess market developments impacting the type of materials that can be
recovered and the technical and scientific progress, including emerging new technologies in waste management.
Therefore, in order to assess whether it is appropriate to revise Part C of Annex XII to Regulation (EU) 2023/1542
and Part B of Annex XII to that Regulation, it is necessary to have additional information concerning materials for
the recovery of materials and battery chemistries for the recycling efficiency.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by
Article 39 of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2),
(1) OJ L 191, 28.7.2023, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1542/oj.

(OJ L 312, 22.11.2008, p. 3, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2008/98/oj).

2. The data shall be reported separately for each of the battery categories set out in Article 1(3) of Regulation
(EU) 2023/1542 and shall be differentiated into battery chemistries.
3. For the purposes of the reporting requirements set out in Article 76(1), point (d), of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542,
Member States shall use the format set out in Tables 6 and 7 of Annex I to this Regulation.
4. The data for recycling efficiency shall be reported in accordance with the battery chemistries referred to in the
recycling efficiency targets set out in Annex XII, Part B, of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. The data for the recovery of
materials shall be reported in accordance with the materials referred to in the recovery of materials targets set out in
Annex XII, Part C, of that Regulation.
5. Member States shall report data on the input and output fractions for the recycling efficiency and the recovery of
materials using the format set out in Tables 1 to 4 of Annex II to this Regulation.
6. Member States shall submit a quality check report, referred to in Article 76(3) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, using
the format set out in Annex III to this Regulation.
7. Member States shall report the data referred to in paragraphs 1 to 4 and 6 in electronic form, by means of an
interchange standard set up by the Commission. Member States shall report the data referred to in paragraph 5 in
electronic form to the Commission.

batteries made available on the market for the first time in a Member State
Please describe how it is tracked that batteries that have left the territory of the Member State in the reporting year before being sold
to end-users are excluded in accordance with Article 76(1), point (a), of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. Please detail for which
batteries exclusion is unclear, if any, and the reasons for a possible lack of exclusion.
A.2. Waste batteries collected
Please describe how data on the chemistries of waste batteries collected is distinguished and how it is ensured that, e.g. starting,
lighting and ignition lead-acid batteries, industrial nickel-cadmium batteries and electric vehicle lithium-based batteries are not
mixed up.

countries for recycling, preparation for recycling, preparation for re-use or preparation for repurposing are tracked and how accurate
reporting over different reporting years is ensured.
B. TREATMENT, RECYCLING EFFICIENCY RATES AND RECOVERY OF MATERIALS RATES
B.1. Treatment systems and operational conditions
Please generally describe the waste battery treatment systems available (nationally and/or outside the Member State) for the Member
State’s batteries and provide information about measures taken to ensure that the operational treatment conditions are met, as
referred to in Article 70 and Annex XII, Part A, of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.
B.2. Output fractions generated outside the Member State
If quantities of waste batteries are treated in other Member States and/or in third countries, please specify how it is ensured and
tracked that the generated output fractions are declared and considered correctly for the calculation of the recovery of materials rates
and recycling efficiency rates.
B.3. Aggregation of recycling efficiency data
Please describe how the data on recycling input and output fractions are aggregated in order to calculate the recycling efficiency rates
on a national level.
B.4. Aggregation of recovery of materials data
Please describe how the data on material input and output fractions are aggregated in order to calculate the recovery of materials

C.4. Data on waste industrial and electric vehicle batteries delivered to preparation for re-use or preparation for
repurposing
C.5. Data on waste battery recycling efficiencies (for all chemistries)
C.6. Data on waste battery recovery of materials (for all materials)
D. DATA QUALITY AND VALIDATION
D.1. Quality of data sources and estimations
