The EU Battery Passport is the first mandatory Digital Product Passport. Fixed by the EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542), it applies from 18 February 2027 to EV, light-means-of-transport and industrial batteries above 2 kWh.
Last updated:
The mandate covers EV batteries, light-means-of-transport (LMT) batteries — including e-bikes and e-scooters — and industrial batteries with a capacity above 2 kWh. Each individual battery needs a passport at item level, which multiplies the work: one physical unit equals one passport with its own lifecycle.
The battery passport is the deepest data set of any DPP group. PassPer's battery profile carries roughly 110 mandatory fields aligned to DIN DKE SPEC 99100, spanning: battery identity and category; manufacturer and manufacturing data; materials and critical raw materials; recycled content (cobalt, nickel, lithium, lead); carbon footprint and performance class; due-diligence reporting; state of health and performance; and end-of-life information. Many fields require verified supporting documents.
Supplier data collection is the slow part — cobalt origin, recycled content and due-diligence data live several tiers up the supply chain. Teams that began early still report six to twelve months of work. From today, 18 February 2027 is well inside that window.
PassPer ships a production-ready battery profile, extracts fields from your spec sheets and LCA studies with AI and human review, collects the missing data from suppliers through a no-account portal, generates the GS1 Digital Link QR, and files to the EU registry with a qualified seal.
