TÜV SÜD Group (hereinafter "TÜV SÜD") has officially awarded Huizhou EVE Energy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "EVE") the world's first TÜV SÜD Mark certificate for EV batteries in accordance with the EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. This milestone certification underscores EVE's strengths in the area of product quality, system management and sustainable development. It supports EVE's expansion into the EU market and sets a benchmark for product safety and environmental compliance in the global EV battery industry, thereby strengthening the company’s leading position. Teams from both TÜV SÜD and EVE attended the certification ceremony.
EV batteries, as core components of electric vehicles, play a crucial role in the new energy transportation supply chain. The EU Battery Regulation governs the entire lifecycle of batteries, imposing stringent requirements on the restriction of substances, carbon footprint, recycled content, and the performance and durability of electric vehicle batteries. The new EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 comprehensively covers all stages from production and usage to repurposing and recycling, promoting the EU's circular economy and carbon neutrality goals.
The entire certification process by TÜV SÜD was carried out in accordance with the strict standards of the EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and included a comprehensive evaluation of EVE's EV batteries. This evaluation included assessments of general safety performance, hazardous substance management, carbon footprint verification, performance and durability requirements, labelling standards, battery state of health (SOH), and expected life expectancy. A systematic audit of EVE's quality management system was also conducted based on conformity assessment procedures.
Regarding the carbon footprint assessment, EVE rigorously followed the draft regulation for carbon footprint declaration of the new EU Battery Regulation, establishing a complete carbon footprint management system for battery products. This system covers the full lifecycle from raw material acquisition through production, distribution, and eventual disposal and recycling. During the quality system audit, EVE implemented relevant management processes and documentation, covering areas from carbon footprint calculation to product development, and establishing continuous process improvement in risk management, internal collaboration, and supply chain management, ensuring compliance with the new EU Battery Regulation regarding product quality assurance. As a result, EVE successfully passed TÜV SÜD's rigorous review, verifying its compliance to the EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 standards.
Mr Boris Ouyang, General Manager of TÜV SÜD Guangzhou, said at the certification ceremony, “The EU Battery Regulation has introduced profound changes and challenges to the industry. EVE's product quality, commitment to green development and robust management systems have enabled it to achieve TÜV SÜD certification and demonstrate the company's strength and strategic foresight. We are delighted to witness this moment and look forward to EVE continuing to play a leading role in the new energy sector and making a significant contribution to the global green energy movement.”
Mr Shi Nuo, Vice President of the Quality Centre at EVE remarked, “Amid the global energy transition wave, EVE continues to drive progress through technological innovation and high-quality development strategy, accelerating its global footprint and actively integrating into the EU battery ecosystem. This necessitates incorporating overseas battery-related policies into our internal quality management system. Obtaining this certification is a significant step toward building a comprehensive lifecycle management framework for batteries and marks a milestone achievement.”
