The Framework Of The EU Battery Passport

The battery passport will introduce new data sharing obligations Beginning in February 2027, the European Union will mandate an electronic "battery passport" (an example of Digital Product Passport - DPP) for mobility and stationary batteries. Battery model information (‘static’ data)

Accessible publicly: e.g., material composition, carbon footprint, recycled content, expected lifetime in cycles, rated capacity, weight, manufacturer, place of manufacture;

Accessible to persons with ‘legitimate interest’: detailed composition, part numbers for components, dismantling info and safety measures;

Accessible to notified bodies, market surveillance authorities and the Commission: results of test reports proving compliance with the Regulation.

Individual battery information (‘dynamic’ data):

Accessible to persons with ‘legitimate interest’:

Performance and durability parameters;

State of health information;

Status of the battery (‘original’, ‘repurposed’, ‘re-used’, ‘remanufactured’ or ‘waste’);

Usage data: number of cycles, accident, operating conditions and state of charge. Beginning in August 2026, the Commission will provide guidance on which person(s) constitute a ‘legitimate interest’. Detailed information from the battery management system shall be provided respecting the intellectual property rights of the battery manufacturers. Source: EU Batteries Regulation
