You can check through the following two methods (for reference only):

Method 1: Query through the official German EAR website. The AR is displayed before the manufacturer's company information, usually ending with Gmbh, UG, AG, eG (detailed steps refer to the figure below).

EAR Official Website Link: https://www.ear-system.de/ear-verzeichnis/battghersteller.jsf#no-back
