Highlighted industries are sectors that drive economic growth, innovation, and job creation. They often involve cutting-edge technologies, sustainable solutions.
We provide reliable testing solutions for solar and renewable energy companies. We make sure every component performs efficiently.
The helmet testing industry ensures safety and reliability for all forms of head protection in transportation, industry, defense, firefighting, and sports.
Fire extinguishers are vital fire-fighting gadgets that have been protecting different commercial, domestic, and food places since 1723.
We assure testing the domestic electrical equipment with the same rigor and care as industrial-grade machinery.
Batteries have taken up a large role in modern life. Everything from electric cars to small domestic appliances runs on them. With increasing demand, battery waste is also rising at a high rate. To address this issue, the Government of India introduced the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022.
These rules aim to protect the environment by ensuring the safe collection, recycling, and reuse of old batteries.
Under these rules, all companies that manufacture, market, or import batteries are responsible for managing the waste generated after battery usage. This responsibility is known as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Producers must ensure batteries are safely collected and recycled, even after the product is sold.
EPR ensures manufacturers are responsible for reducing, reusing, and recycling batteries. Waste batteries must be recycled and reused instead of being dumped in landfills.
This rule applies to batteries in portable devices, electric vehicles, and industrial applications.
As per Rule 4 of the BWM Rules 2022, all producers must register with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) through a centralized online portal. Producers must fill out Form 1(A) and submit it to CPCB.
Registration must be renewed before expiry, ideally at least 60 days before the expiration date.
Even if a producer outsources manufacturing, the responsibility still lies with the brand owner.
Recyclers and refurbishers must register on the CPCB portal. The State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) provides them with a one-time registration.
The Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022 apply to all individuals and entities involved in collection, transportation, refurbishment, and recycling of waste batteries. This includes:
These rules apply to all types of batteries:
The rules do NOT apply to batteries used for defence or space purposes (e.g., batteries in weapons, military vehicles, satellites).
Currently, the CPCB online portal is under development; therefore, applications are being accepted offline.
Necessary documents are gathered with assistance from Presto Laboratories, which helps prepare and submit them to CPCB.
The application, along with supporting documents, is submitted to CPCB via email and hard copy.
CPCB officials review all documents to verify accuracy and completeness.
Upon approval, the registration certificate is issued with a validity of six months. Renewal is possible once the online portal becomes operational.
The following documents are required for Battery Waste Management EPR Registration:
| Required Document |
|---|
| GST Certificate (self-certified) |
| TIN Number |
| CIN Number |
| Aadhaar Card of authorized individual |
| PAN Card of the company |
These documents help verify the legal identity of the producer and support the registration process.
Presto Laboratories assists manufacturers, importers, and producers in meeting compliance standards for battery waste management. The team prepares documents, reviews forms, and coordinates with CPCB for registration. This allows businesses to focus on operations while avoiding paperwork delays.
