What fines are imposed for violations of the Battery Act?

Anyone who intentionally or negligently breaches obligations under the Battery Act — such as through missing registration, failure to participate in a system or inadequate marking — risks a fine of up to €100,000 under current law. This scale shows authorities treat this not as a side issue but as a serious part of market surveillance. Whilst not every minor administrative error is immediately sanctioned, systematic breaches or missing registration despite active distribution significantly increase inspection risk. For importers, therefore, proper documentation of registration and system participation from the outset makes sense.
