EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542

Digital Battery Passport

Full-lifecycle transparency you can trust — from material origin and carbon footprint to state of health and recycling pathways.

Tip: scan the QR code on the battery to open its passport directly.

What is a battery passport?

A battery passport is a digital identity that travels with a battery across its entire life. Via the QR code on the battery, anyone can view its composition, performance, sustainability data and end-of-life handling — no login required.

Mandatory from February 2027 for EV, LMT and >2 kWh industrial batteries.
About 5 months until it's mandatory

Why start now?

The February 2027 deadline is closer than it looks.

Most of the work is chasing supplier data tier by tier and mapping it to the regulation's data model — that takes months whichever tool you pick. Start while the calendar still has slack.

What does a battery passport contain?

Key data across the battery's whole life — from raw materials to end-of-life.

Material composition

Lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite and their quantities.

Carbon footprint

Lifecycle CO₂ emissions for this battery model.

Supply chain origin

Where key raw materials come from and due-diligence data.

State of health (SoH)

Capacity, cycle life and live health during use.

Recycled content

Share of recycled material for each component.

Hazardous substances

Information on hazardous substances in the battery.

Manufacturer data

Manufacturer, place and date of production.

End-of-life

Dismantling, safety and recycling instructions.

Who sees what?

The passport uses tiered access: public data is visible to everyone; restricted data only to authorised parties by permission.

Public information

Visible to anyone

Basic battery details, material composition and sustainability metrics — the things a buyer or a regulator might check.

Restricted information

Authorised parties

Dismantling procedures, exact chemical composition and other technical detail — only for repairers, second-life operators and recyclers by permission.

How it works

  1. 1. Scan or search

    Open a passport via the battery QR code or its passport ID.

  2. 2. Tiered access

    The public sees public data; legitimate parties and regulators see restricted data by permission.

  3. 3. Lifecycle updates

    From manufacturing and use (SoH) to recycling, data is appended and auditable.

Built for the full battery value chain

From cell manufacturing to recycling, the passport serves every role in the chain.

Manufacturing

Battery cell manufacturers

Generate passports from production, recording carbon footprint and material composition.

Automotive

Automotive OEMs

Validate and publish battery passports for vehicles on the EU market, demonstrating supply-chain due diligence.

Supply chain

Pack assemblers & Tier 1 suppliers

Aggregate data from multiple cell suppliers into a single compliant passport.

Energy storage

Energy storage operators

Manage passports for >2 kWh industrial storage batteries, including state of health and second-life records.

Circular economy

Recyclers & second-life operators

Use passport data to assess health, materials and recycled content, and contribute end-of-life records.

From SMEs to large battery manufacturers

Whether you're starting from scratch or plugging into an existing setup, it scales with your size.

For SMEs

For battery producers, assemblers, importers and distributors without a dedicated compliance team.

  • Work step by step from data collection to passport issuance
  • Covers supply-chain data, carbon footprint and QR passports
  • Get ready for 2027 without hiring a regulatory specialist

For large battery manufacturers

For large manufacturers with in-house systems and compliance teams.

  • Issue and manage passports at scale across your portfolio
  • Works alongside your existing processes and data
  • Model-level and unit-level passports in one place

Compliance & trust by design

  • Aligned with EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and the ESPR / DPP framework.
  • Data tiers: Public / Restricted (legitimate interest) / Regulator.
  • Unique identifier, third-party verification, versioning and full audit trail.
