PassPer ships a production-ready EU Battery Passport profile covering every Annex XIII field — industrial, EV, LMT and stationary batteries. Carbon footprint, due diligence, state-of-health, recycled content. One workflow, one engine.
Under EU Regulation 2023/1542, every industrial and EV battery placed on the EU market from 18 February 2027 requires a compliant Digital Product Passport. Non-compliant batteries lose market access. This is the moment the entire DPP regime becomes real.
Primary responsibility for the passport. Origin data, chemistry, carbon footprint, due diligence — all yours.
When you integrate batteries into vehicles or equipment, you carry pass-through responsibility for the linked passport.
If you import a battery into the EU, you're the responsible economic operator — even if you didn't make it. The Importer Shield was built for you.
Read access to professional and authority tiers. Update SoH, log second-life events, certify materials for re-entry.
Professional-tier access. Diagnostics, part swaps and refurbishment events flow back into the passport.
Authority-tier access. Signed evidence, chain of custody, due-diligence audit trail. We deliver bundles on SLA.
Our EU Battery Passport profile maps directly to Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 Annex XIII. Below: a representative slice. Full schema available to customers.

Every field in the 2023/1542 Annex XIII is in our production profile today. Including the recycled-content fields that don't bind until 2031 — because the evidence trail starts now.
SoH is the field every other vendor punts on. We ship an authorised-repairer API + workflow so SoH updates flow into the passport for the life of the cell.
IRMA, RMI, OECD-aligned audit reports stored once, linked many times, expiry-tracked, renewal-chased. Authority tier on demand.
When the ESPR/Battery registry goes live in July 2026, our adapter is already there. Your passports submit automatically — no manual upload.
The Battery Passport (Article 77 of Regulation 2023/1542) applies to all EV batteries, all LMT (light means of transport) batteries, and all industrial batteries with capacity > 2 kWh placed on the EU market from 18 February 2027. Portable consumer batteries and SLI batteries are exempt from the passport requirement (but other parts of the regulation still apply). If you are unsure, our pod can scope your obligation in 30 minutes.
The economic operator placing the battery on the EU market is responsible. For imported batteries, that's the importer — even if you didn't design or manufacture the cell. This is exactly the gap our Importer Shield surface was built for. See For Importers.
Annex XIII requires passports at the battery model level, with serial-number traceability per unit. PassPer models this natively: one profile per model, instantiated per serial, with cell-level claims linked through the product graph.
Due-diligence evidence (cobalt origin, audit reports, supplier IDs) lives behind the Authority access tier. It's only accessible to authenticated regulators, MSAs and customs authorities — never to consumers or competitors. Public-tier data shows only the high-level outcome (e.g. "DRC, IRMA-audited").
Welcome to the central problem in DPP work. PassPer solves it on three fronts: (1) the Supplier Portal makes responding frictionless — no account required; (2) our compliance pod (under PaaS) chases on your behalf in your suppliers' language; (3) verified supplier profiles let your suppliers reuse declarations across other buyers, reducing the marginal cost of saying yes.
Every passport ships with a GS1 Digital Link URI. You can render it as a QR code, NFC tag, RFID, or Data Matrix. The minimum is one resolver-readable identifier on the battery itself (etched, printed, or embedded). The same identifier is the canonical passport URL across consumer, repairer and authority access tiers.
The passport survives. Second-life operators get Pro-tier access, can log SoH updates, ownership transfers, and material declarations. When the battery enters recycling, the passport feeds into the EU recycled-content registry automatically.
