COMMISSION NOTICE Commission guidelines to facilitate the harmonised application of provisions on the removability and replaceability of portable batteries and LMT batteries in Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 · European Union

An example of software that impedes replacement is the practice known as ‘parts-pairing’. This is made possible by serialisation of some spare parts (including batteries) that are paired to an individual unit of a device using software. When serialisation leads to pairing a part to a product unit, it can be detrimental to repair. In such cases, if a product component, including a battery, needs replacing during a repair, it might not be accepted, or might lose some of its functionality unless remotely paired to the device again via software controlled by the original manufacturer.
