Hi Scott, For CE marking most batteries do not fall under the LVD and therefore are not directly regulated for safety. However most end product standards will have a component requirement for EN 62133 (secondary) or EN 60086-4 (primary). If you plan to apply for CB Scheme on the end the product the IEC versions of these standards will likely be mandatory.
As you also mention the battery directive as well as UN 38.3 transportation requirements do apply.

The products include standalone batteries and rechargeable battery pack in the products. As far as i know, battery directive 2006/66/EC and product safety directive are legal requirements for these types of product. I have learnt IEC 62133 is for battery and battery pack requirements. Is IEC 62133 a legal requirement for said products? Apart from it, is there any other requirement to be complied? Thanks!
