Under development - Batteries and parts thereof (c-PCR under PCR 2024:06)

This complementary PCR (c-PCR) is under development and is on open consultation as of 2025-11-05 until 2025-12-26. Any stakeholder is welcome to give their comments during this period to the PCR Mderator.

The c-PCR is expected to be published in Q1 2026.

Dates are preliminary and subject to change.

For questions on the c-PCR, please contact the PCR moderator Hailong Fan , China Merchans Testing Vehicle Technology Research Institute Ltd.

For general questions on the PCR development process, see the PCR FAQ or contact the Secretariat at E-mail .

This will not be a standalone PCR but a complementary PCR (c-PCR) to the main PCR for electronic and electric equipment and electronic components that is under development. The c-PCR will provide additional rules and specifications for the specified product category.

The c-PCR shall be used together with the main PCR to assess the environmental performance of batteries and parts thereof and the declaration of this performance by an EPD.

The PCR will cover primary cells and primary batteries, electric accumulators, and parts of primary cells, primary batteries and electric accumulators. The product category corresponds to the UN CPC group 464 Accumulators, primary cells and primary batteries, and parts thereof.
