EU Battery Regulation term for a substance classified as hazardous under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Hazardous substance is not a battery-specific chemistry list in this Regulation; it is a cross-reference to the EU's broader CLP hazardous-classification regime. The page should therefore connect battery composition data to formal legal classification, not to a loose everyday meaning of hazardous.
This page is anchored in the EU Battery Regulation definition, which cross-refers to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Keep this separate from hazardous waste status, battery materials, and chemistry-family labels; a material can be technically important without automatically carrying the same legal hazard classification. ELV source context: EU and UK end-of-life vehicle rules use this term inside vehicle waste, treatment, dismantling, reuse, recycling, recovery, disposal, and certificate workflows. For auto customers, connect the term to vehicle identity, authorised treatment facility records, certificate evidence, and downstream material routes. Türkiye ELV context: the Turkish regulation uses official Turkish terms for ELV, temporary storage area, treatment, treatment facility, dismantling information, recycler/recovery/disposal concepts, and producer/economic-operator roles. Treat the Turkish official definition as authoritative; English translations are draft aids only.

Public draft page. EU Battery Regulation definition with CLP cross-reference; not a standalone battery chemistry taxonomy.
Hazardous substance is the EU Battery Regulation term for a substance classified as hazardous under Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the EU CLP classification framework. It is not a battery-specific chemistry list.
Implementation records should capture the substance identifier, CLP classification, battery-material link, handling requirement, label or safety-data source, concentration or presence evidence, and relationship to transport, safety, disclosure, or passport fields.
Hazardous substance is a hazard-classification control: the evidence consequence is that battery material data can be linked to formal CLP classifications and handling requirements instead of relying on loose everyday meanings of hazardous.
