A new Italian framework applies
Legislative Decree 29/2026, in force from 7 March 2026, adapts Italian law to Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and establishes a new battery producer register within RENAP.
The previous national battery register remains active until the new register is fully implemented and its opening is announced. Check the official status at the time of filing.
Classify the battery and producer
The new framework uses the EU categories: portable, industrial, SLI, light means of transport and electric-vehicle batteries. Record batteries sold alone and those incorporated into products.
Producer, authorised-representative requirements, registration and management-system membership must be reviewed against the current transition rules.
Keep contributions quote-only
System contributions and operational requirements depend on category, chemistry, use and the selected recognised route. No Italian battery tariff is inferred from a foreign-market proxy.
Request a manual classification and quote, then retain the applicable register record, system evidence and recurring data.
Conclusion
Scope comes before a form. Connect the legal entity, product, sales channel and EPR stream to the rule that actually applies.
Evidence must remain traceable. Keep source data, versions, approvals, filings, receipts and every record issued by an external body.
Third-party decisions are never guaranteed. CONAI, public registers, collective systems and marketplaces control their own procedures, timing and decisions.
