COMMISSION NOTICE Commission guidelines to facilitate the harmonised application of provisions on the removability and replaceability of portable batteries and LMT batteries in Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 · European Union

Article 11(3) of Regulation 2023/1542 stipulates that obligations laid down in Article 11(1) shall not apply where continuity of power supply is necessary and a permanent connection between the product and the respective portable battery is required to ensure the safety of the user and the appliance or, for products that collect and supply data as their main function, for data integrity reasons. This means that in such cases, portable batteries need not be removable and replaceable by end users.
