Join ProductIP in Hong Kong on 12 October for Networking & Knowledge: European Product Act, EU battery rules and the implications for your next buying decision.
Price, quality and delivery matter. So does being able to sell the products you have bought.
When sourcing for the EU market, missing product evidence, unclear responsibilities or an unsuitable battery design can lead to delays, rework and stock you cannot sell.
That is why ProductIP is hosting Networking & Knowledge during Global Sources Electronics. Two practical briefings will connect EU regulatory developments to everyday sourcing, buying and selling decisions.
European Product Act: what could change for EU market access?
The European Commission is expected to publish its proposal on 6 October. We will offer an early assessment of the latest available text: what could change in the information suppliers must provide, who takes responsibility in Europe and how products are checked?
We will distinguish proposed changes from requirements already in force—and discuss what businesses can start organising now.
EU Batteries Regulation: buying today for February 2027
The battery inside a product deserves attention before you place the order. With 18 February 2027 marking a key milestone for removability and replaceability requirements, subject to applicable exceptions, we will explore the implications for product selection, supplier questions and supporting evidence.
UK business supplying EU customers? This includes you.
Whether your business operates from China, the UK, the US or elsewhere outside the EU, your route to the European market needs clear responsibilities and reliable product information.
The event is designed for business owners, management, buyers and sales teams. No specialist compliance knowledge required.
