EVE Energy, a global provider of lithium-ion battery company, has obtained the industry’s first TÜV SÜD Mark certificate for the new EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 for electric vehicle (EV) batteries.
TÜV SÜD, a third-party testing, inspection, and certification organization, issued the certificate. It serves as a pre-audit certificate for module D1 of the EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 conformity assessment procedures.
The certificate demonstrates EVE Energy’s technical expertise and strong quality management system. It also strengthens the company’s position in international markets, particularly in the EU.
The EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, which sets out requirements for the entire life cycle of EV batteries, aims to support the EU’s circular economy and carbon neutrality goals. Covering all stages from production to recycling, the regulation imposes strict requirements on electric vehicle batteries, a key component in the new energy transport industry. It includes standards for restricted substances, carbon footprint, recycled materials, and performance and durability requirements, ensuring that the product has met EU environmental and sustainability goals.
This certification fully complies with EU Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 requirements on batteries regarding safety, restricted substances, carbon footprint, performance, durability, labeling, battery state of health (SOH), and expected battery life. TÜV SÜD also audited EVE Energy’s quality system under module D1 of the conformity assessment procedure. Throughout the process, EVE Energy worked closely with TÜV SÜD to ensure full transparency of the audit.
EVE Energy formed a specialized working group of experts from departments such as strategy, R&D, production, quality, ESG, legal affairs, and supply chain to coordinate and manage the audit and certification process. Various departments’ collaborative efforts ensured the audit’s successful completion, which ultimately culminated in approval from TÜV SÜD.
For carbon footprint management, EVE Energy strictly follows the methodology of the draft Delegated Regulation of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. EVE collected company-specific data from 7 factories, involving more than 200 flows, and completed the LCIA carbon footprint dataset by applying the Environmental Footprint (EF) 3.1 impact assessment method.
Additionally, EVE has also established a comprehensive carbon footprint management system for EV batteries, ensuring the quality management of carbon footprint data throughout the entire life cycle. Verified by TÜV SÜD, EVE has become the first company in the battery manufacturing sector to complete the carbon footprint calculation of EV batteries and the establishment of a data quality system in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, demonstrating EVE’s competence in carbon management and policy compliance.
From product development to production, EVE Energy strictly complies with EU requirements for testing and relevant harmonised international standards in environmental protection, safety, performance durability and data traceability, implementing comprehensive identification and control of potential risks. This process encompasses not only a rigorous self-assessment at the factory level, but also extends to a detailed examination of upstream suppliers.
Going forward, EVE Energy and TÜV SÜD plan to deepen their collaboration to help Chinese battery companies expand globally.
