Product identity
Manufacturer, model and persistent unique identifiers
Digital Product Passport
The operating layer between source evidence and the final record.
A guided evidence pathway
Move logically from product identity and materials through assurance, circularity, performance and conformity.
Key regulatory point
18 February 2027
Under EU Regulation 2023/1542, EV batteries, LMT batteries and industrial batteries above 2 kWh placed on the EU market are subject to the battery passport requirement. The passport must be accessible through a QR code and use structured, machine-readable and interoperable data.
View Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 ↗How it works
One evidence trail, organised in seven stages.
Work from classification through publication, involving suppliers where they own the source and validating every hand-off.
Material profile
Chemistry, composition, critical inputs and hazardous substances
Emissions evidence
Lifecycle study, carbon result and applicable performance class
Supply-chain assurance
Responsible-sourcing records and supporting due-diligence evidence
Circularity records
Recycled content, repair, dismantling and end-of-life information
Performance data
Capacity, voltage, durability, lifetime and operating conditions
Conformity & marking
Declarations, test evidence, product labels and QR readiness
Review the full suite of battery products
Identify which products fall within the scope of the applicable EU battery regulations.
Determine the specific EU regulatory requirements
Define exactly what information, technical documentation, labelling, declarations and digital data are required for each product category.
Create a product-by-product compliance matrix
Map the product or category, applicable EU regulations, compliance requirements, required data fields, documentation, QR code or DPP requirements, and all outstanding gaps or actions.
Create a cohesive, structured and exportable data format
Capture the required information in a software-readable form that can support compliant QR codes and, where applicable, Digital Battery Passports.
Develop the QR code and data process
Keep the underlying information accurate, complete, current, machine-readable and interoperable rather than producing a static QR code.
Establish regulatory support and liaison
Enable the responsible team to engage EU regulatory or market-surveillance bodies and resolve QR code or battery-passport issues promptly.
Support successful EU market entry
Identify and resolve regulatory issues in advance to minimise delays when importing or placing battery products on the EU market.
