The compliance platform for the battery industry
At the core of the EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542) is that all batteries on the European market must have a circular and sustainable life cycle. A battery is not just waste when it is spent: the regulation covers it all the way through raw material extraction, production, use and recycling.
How your data becomes a digital product passport
You do not need to know the regulation in detail to get started. The templates have the requirements in place, and you add the data.
Choose the template that fits the battery
The templates are preconfigured for your battery type and built around the four core areas of the regulation:
- Sustainability and climate footprint
- Circular economy and repair
- Digital traceability and transparency
- Responsible supply chains (due diligence)
Your data can come in three ways
You choose how the data comes in:
- Enter it manually. The template guides you field by field.
- Let the AI assistant read it from product sheets and certificates.
- Pull it automatically from your ERP and PLM systems.
We are happy to visit and help you get started.
Three types of fields
Each field in the template is marked by what the regulation requires now and in the future. That gives three types:
- Mandatory fields are what the regulation requires. This is where you start.
- Recommended fields strengthen your green profile and prepare you for upcoming tightening.
- Upcoming fields become a requirement later.
Once the mandatory fields are completed, the passport can be published.
When the EU changes the requirements, the templates follow
The regulation is not finished. Delegated acts and new requirements will be added over the next years, and the templates keep up.
The EU changes a requirement
Delegated acts and new requirements are adopted continuously over the next years. We keep up, so you do not have to.
We update the template
New fields are added, and existing ones change. What is marked as upcoming today becomes mandatory well before the requirement applies.
You are notified and update the passport
You see what has changed and which product passports are affected, and correct them before the requirements take effect.
Frequently asked questions
No. The templates have the requirements in place and are divided into mandatory, recommended and upcoming fields. You start with the mandatory fields, and we are happy to visit and help you get started.
You can, but it is more than a QR code. Issuing a battery passport can look like a simple task. Technically and day to day, it is one of the most demanding data tasks manufacturers and importers face.
1. Data from the whole supply chain
The passport requires up to 90-100 data points, and they are not in one place. Among other things, the passport must contain:
- the battery's material composition, including chemistry, hazardous substances and critical raw materials
- the battery's carbon footprint
- information on responsible sourcing from the due diligence report
- recycled content
2. A passport that lives with the battery
The battery passport is not a static PDF document. It must be updated throughout the battery's life.
- The passport contains information on the battery model and on the individual battery, including information resulting from its use.
- For the individual battery, this includes state of health, status, number of charge cycles, accidents, temperature and state of charge.
- Whoever places the battery on the market must ensure that the information is complete, accurate and up to date.
3. Open standards and interoperability
- The information must be based on open standards and be machine-readable, structured and searchable.
- It must be transferable through an open, interoperable network without vendor lock-in.
- The passport must be fully interoperable with other digital product passports under the EU ecodesign rules.
- The passport must remain available, even if the company ceases to exist.
- Data must be authentic, reliable and protected against fraud.
4. One passport per battery
Where CE marking applies to a whole product series, the battery passport applies to the individual battery.
- The QR code on the battery links to a unique identifier assigned by whoever places the battery on the market.
- The QR code and identifier must comply with ISO/IEC 15459.
5. Second life, repair and recycling
The passport's life does not end when the product is sold.
- If the battery is reused, repurposed or remanufactured, it gets a new passport linked to the original.
- When the battery becomes waste, responsibility for the passport passes to the producer, a producer responsibility organisation or the waste management operator.
- The passport ceases to exist when the battery has been recycled.
In three ways: you can enter data manually, guided field by field. You can let the AI assistant read it from product sheets and certificates. Or you can pull it from your ERP and PLM systems via an integration we set up together with you. The methods can be combined.
The platform is built to pull product data from ERP, PIM and PLM systems via API, such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics or Akeneo. Integrations are set up together with you and tailored to your systems. Professional includes one integration, and integrations can be added on Basic.
Mandatory fields are what the regulation requires today, and they must be completed before the passport can be published. Recommended fields strengthen your green profile and prepare you for upcoming tightening. Upcoming fields cover requirements that only apply later. They become mandatory well before the deadline.
We follow the regulation and the delegated acts as they are adopted, and update the templates. You are notified of what has changed and which of your product passports are affected, so you can update them before the requirements take effect.
You own all data you put into the platform. Data is hosted in the EU, can be exported at any time, and we process it as a data processor in accordance with the GDPR.
All batteries covered by the Battery Regulation: EV batteries, industrial batteries over 2 kWh, LMT batteries and portable batteries, with one template per category, so you choose the one that fits your battery.
