Clusters & Task Forces

Three Clusters provide a platform for the majority of EUROBAT’s activities and are formed according to the priorities and objectives of the Association. Each Cluster is divided into a number of Task Forces. In addition to this, EUROBAT maintains a number of Working Groups on specific issues.

Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Cluster

This Cluster ensures that our industry operates to the highest standards of environmental legislation, safeguarding the interest of those who work in the industry, as well as the environment and its consumers. The EHS Cluster achieves this by monitoring EU legislation in the fields of safety and the environment and regularly issues guidance to members on a number of topics to ensure that the industry operates in accordance with these rules. The Cluster is split into the following Task Forces: Batteries Regulation, Committee for Environmental Matters, Best Available Techniques Reference Document for the Production of Batteries in Gigafactories (BREF), End-of-Life Vehicles and Blood Lead Mitigation. It also engages with European decision-makers to provide them with the information they require on the battery industry to ensure better policy-making.

Technical Cluster

This Cluster includes the following Task Forces: Standardisation, Innovation, Carbon Footprint and the Battery Passport.

Industry Cluster

This Cluster comprises three Task Forces: Marketing & Communications, Material Stewardship, and Trade & Industrial Policies.
