Testing to WLTP
WLTP stands for "Worldwide Harmonized Light-Duty Vehicles Test Procedure“. This is the EU test procedure applicable since September 2017, for measuring exhaust emissions and fuel consumption.
WLTP is a standardised way of measuring exhaust emissions and energy consumption across petrol, diesel, CNG and electric vehicles, ensuring results are comparable between engine / motor types worldwide. Real driving data is used to provide more realistic results taking into account, for example, longer driving distances and shorter idle times.
Vehicle redemption
Porsche is committed to sustainable efficiency. So, when a Porsche comes to the end of its life, we do all we can to make its disposal as environmentally friendly as possible. It can be returned to Porsche for redemption and recycling as long as it complies with the following conditions:
It was last registered in the EU for at least one month
There are no drive-related or safety-relevant components
The vehicle is free of personal belongings
Accreditation documents are returned together with the vehicle
You will receive proof from certified dismantling companies that you need to deregister. Follow the link for all further information about Porsche end-of-life vehicle return.
Labeling requirements for portable batteries
Portable batteries are installed in your vehicle, in spare and retrofit parts as well as in accessory products, such as those found in a remote key or a tire pressure sensor. In accordance with the EU Battery Regulation (BattReg), Porsche acts as a retailer for these batteries and ensures that the requirements set out in Article 42 BattReg are met.
As per this regulation, batteries must be appropriately labelled. However, due to the limited space on small portable batteries (e.g. button cells), it is often not possible to include all necessary information directly on the battery or its packaging. Therefore, we provide you with an overview of the relevant information for the affected batteries.
Technical Service Information (TSI)
As an Independent Workshop, you still have access to the information, support and parts you need to provide Porsche owners with the high-quality service they expect.
With online Technical Service Information specifcally for independent workshops, and parts from the Porsche Genuine Parts Shop, it’s easy to keep your customers satisfied.
REACH EU Regulation
Throughout the EU, the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation requires us to pass on information relating to substances of very high concern in the supply chain, if our “products” contain more than 0.1 % weight-by-weight of these substances.
Enter the relevant Part Number here and we will provide you with any necessary information. We take seriously the safety of anyone involved in servicing, maintaining or repairing our vehicles. So naturally we comply with all the regulation’s requirements.
EU Battery Regulation
Waste prevention and the management of used batteries
Since 18 February 2024, new EU-wide regulations have been in force for all types of batteries – the EU Battery Regulation.
Article 74 of the Battery Regulation governs the obligation to provide certain information on waste prevention and the management of used batteries. As a manufacturer of vehicles and other products that contain batteries, we are happy to comply with this obligation.
We have compiled all the important information on the new EU Battery Regulation, your rights and obligations, and our free services for you: in particular, on the care, return and disposal of batteries in your Porsche products.
Periodical Technical Inspection (PTI)
The Implementing Act (EU) 2019/621 comes into force on 20th May 2020.
