Understand the requirement
Battery-waste EPR operates under a dedicated framework with roles for producers, recyclers and refurbishers. Product chemistry, application and the way batteries are introduced to the market matter when preparing the working file. A registration for another waste stream should not be assumed to cover battery obligations.
Battery information may sit with an OEM while sales data sits with an importer or brand. We help connect those records, distinguish battery quantities from complete-equipment weights and document the source of each figure. The result is an organised set of inputs that your authorised team can review before making declarations or preparing ongoing reports.
Who this service is for
- Battery manufacturers and importers
- Brands selling batteries under their name
- Importers of equipment containing batteries
- Compliance teams coordinating battery information with OEMs

Information to have ready
This is a starting checklist, not a fixed submission list. The documents required depend on your product, business role and applicable route.
- Indicative: entity and authorised-person identity records
- Battery model, chemistry and application details
- Battery weights and equipment-to-battery mapping
- Relevant sale, production and import records
- Existing registrations and supporting declarations
Frequently asked questions
Should batteries inside equipment be reviewed?
Yes. The supply arrangement should be checked rather than assuming that only separately sold batteries are relevant.
Does battery EPR replace product-safety certification?
No. Waste-management responsibilities and product-safety conformity address different issues and may both need assessment.
Who should control the registration account?
The applicant should retain its authorised contact details and account control. Rombo can help prepare information without replacing that responsibility.
Important to know
Battery category, entity role, current rules and reporting requirements must be confirmed for the business. Registration alone does not complete ongoing EPR obligations.
