A process term for demonstrating whether specified CRMA, ESPR, or battery-product requirements have been fulfilled.
Conformity assessment is where product claims become reviewable evidence. The implementation risk is a loose checklist that says requirements were checked without linking each requirement to a test, file, responsible actor, and assessment decision.
ESPR applies conformity assessment to ecodesign requirements in delegated acts, the EU Battery Regulation applies it to sustainability, safety, labelling, information, and due-diligence requirements, and the CRMA definition points specifically to Article 28, 29 or 31. The assessed requirement set must therefore be source-specific.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for sustainable products
the process demonstrating whether the ecodesign requirements set out in the relevant delegated acts adopted pursuant to Article 4 have been fulfilled;
Reference: Article 2, point 51
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 concerning batteries and waste batteries
the process demonstrating whether the sustainability, safety, labelling, information and due diligence requirements of this Regulation have been fulfilled;
Reference: Article 3, point 39
Regulation (EU) 2024/1252 establishing a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials
the process demonstrating whether the requirements set out in Article 28, 29 or 31 have been fulfilled

Conformity assessment is the process used to demonstrate whether specified legal requirements have been fulfilled. It connects requirements, evidence, assessment activities, and a conclusion; it is not the same as market access, placing a product on the market, or publishing passport data.
Create a requirement mapping with source article, product identifier, applicable requirement, test record, inspection result, technical file, standard used, assessor, nonconformity status, corrective action, and assessment decision. Keep this assessment package linked to declarations, CE marking, passport fields, and market-entry controls.
Conformity assessment is a requirement-evidence control: each regulatory requirement needs a traceable evidence path and decision state. It does not by itself prove market access, due-diligence completion, passport completeness, or every related supply-chain claim.
