The EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Directive first limits electromagnetic emissions of equipment in order to ensure that, when used as intended, such equipment does not disturb radio and telecommunication as well as other equipment. The Directive also governs the immunity of such equipment to interference and seeks to ensure that this equipment is not disturbed by radio emissions when used as intended.

The Low Voltage Directive ensures that electrical equipment within certain voltage limits provides high level of protection for European citizens and a single market in the European Union.

Die Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU) ensures a Single Market for radio equipment by setting essential requirements for safety and health, electromagnetic compatibility, and the efficient use of the radio spectrum. It applies to all products using the radio frequency spectrum.

Is the most important international standard for battery safety testing. IEC62133 specifies a criteria catalogue for test measures to ensure the safe operation of portable, sealed primary and secondary lithium cell and batteries with non-acidic electrolytes under intended use. The conducted tests are i.e. external short circuit, free fall, overcharging the battery etc.

UN38.3 includes testing guidelines for the safe transportation of lithium battery products. The guidelines include i.e. drop test, thermal test, vibration test, shock test, external short circuit test, test for the influence of environmental influences, overcharge test, test for targeted discharge etc.

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) aims to improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances.

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) restricting the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC) and promoting the collection and recycling of such equipment (WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC). The objective of these schemes is to increase the recycling and/or re-use of such products. It also requires heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium and flame retardants to be substituted by safer alternatives.

Textile Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 was introduced to protect consumer interests and eliminate potential obstacles to the proper functioning of the internal market. Textile products have to be labelled or marked whenever they are available on the market. The indication of the fibre composition of a product is mandatory at all stages of the industrial processing and commercial distribution of that product.
