For 2024 the SPI fee is covered by the Battery Show Europe, providing all documentation (contractor nomination, stand design, risk assessment and method statement) is submitted before the deadline of 31st March 2025.

From 1st April 2025, a stand plan inspection fee will apply of 360€ (+VAT) per stand. Payment of the fee along with submission of all above-mentioned documents will be required in order to receive permission to build. This fee is applied in 2024 as a late penalty and we ask that you plan accordingly to submit on time and avoid the penalty charge.

Future editions of the show will require SPI fee payment to Abraxys Global in order to receive permission to build.

Stand Plan Inspections are required by the Organisers, Venue and Local Inspecting Authority for this event. At AbraxysGlobal we are required to perform checks for conformity on the likely structural integrity, layout and materials used to construct your stand, as well other factors.

Once your stand meets the Legal and Event regulations you will be issued with a 'Permission to Commence Build' certificate, which allows you to start building the stand at the event. Please note that on-site inspections will take place to ensure that the structure is as submitted. Please note that the SPI fee must be paid before a Permission to Commence Build Certificate can be issued and you will not be allowed to start build up unless the fee has been paid and plans are at Permission to Commence Build stage.

From 01 January 2021 the UK has left the EU VAT regime however currently reverse charge rules will still apply where the sale relates to a service. This means that countries within EU are not charged UK VAT when their VAT number is included on their online payment for all stand audit fees.

Countries outside of UK and EU are also not charged UK VAT as they are outside the scope of UK VAT.

No refunds issued where the stand plan inspection work has commenced. Full Terms and Conditions available: Click here to view.
