Scope
Who needs a passport?
The obligation lies with whoever places these batteries on the EU market.
Light means of transport
Batteries for e-bikes, e-scooters and similar vehicles.
Industrial and storage
Forklift, industrial equipment, home and commercial energy storage.
Electric vehicles
The strictest data and access regime; dynamic data throughout use.
Next product groups
Under Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, DPPs reach other groups; a new group is added as a catalogue.
Lifecycle
A passport is not a PDF. It lives with the battery.
-
Production
Model and batch data
Chemistry, capacity, recycled content, manufacturing site and date.
-
Placing on market
Publication and QR
The Publisher releases it with a declaration; a GS1 Digital Link QR goes on the battery.
-
Use
Dynamic data
State of health, remaining capacity, cycle count — from the BMS via API.
-
Second life
Repair and reuse
Repairers and second-life buyers request access; once approved they see dismantling data.
-
Recycling
Material recovery
Recyclers reach cathode, anode and electrolyte data with authorisation.
Data model
Enter it once, let it reach every battery.
-

Model
Model data is entered once; every batch and battery inherits it.

Ready-made battery catalogue
Battery Pass Consortium attribute list preloaded; see which field is mandatory for your class, and from when.
Compliance score and publishing gate
Publishing is blocked while mandatory fields are missing; fields without a standard yet are marked "standard pending".
Bulk data via CSV and API
A template generated from the catalogue: "Try" first (row-by-row error report), then "Apply".
Version history and immutable log
Compare any two versions field by field; every change recorded with who, when and which channel.
Separation of roles
Editors enter data, Approvers approve, the Publisher releases with a legal declaration.
One-click compliance package
PDF, JSON, version list, change and access logs, QR files, SHA-256 manifest.
Multilingual passport
TR / EN / DE / FR and more on request; AI translation drafts + human approval.
AI assistant and read-aloud for consumers
"Where do I dispose of this battery?" — the assistant uses public data only.
Access tiers
One passport, different data for different eyes.
Restricted data is filtered on the server; it never reaches the public page or the AI assistant.
Manufacturer, model, chemistry, capacity, recycled content, collection information.
Request → manufacturer approval → authorised view. Dismantling data, part numbers, state of health. Every view logged.
Test reports and conformity documents; one-click compliance package.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
When does the EU battery passport become mandatory?
From 18 February 2027, every LMT battery (e-bikes, e-scooters), industrial battery above 2 kWh and EV battery placed on the EU market needs a digital battery passport at individual battery level (Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Article 77).
Does it apply to manufacturers outside the EU?
The obligation lies with whoever places the battery on the EU market — so it reaches manufacturers exporting to the EU, including those in Turkey.
Who can see restricted passport data?
Public data is open to everyone. Restricted data (e.g. dismantling information, state of health) is filtered on the server and shown only to approved parties with a legitimate interest and to authorities; every authorised view is logged.
What format is the machine-readable passport?
JSON aligned with EN 18223:2026 (compressed and full representations), served via a public API and addressed with GS1 Digital Link.
Our data is in our ERP / BMS. Do we have to enter it twice?
No. Fill the CSV template from your ERP export, or send data continuously over the API with a company-scoped key — validated all-or-nothing, safe to retry.
Enterprise procurement takes 6–12 months
