Identity and source data
Information on the battery model and the individual battery. Required data are verified according to category and applicability.
OBLIGATION AND SCOPE
Which batteries
need a passport?
First the battery category and your company's role. Then the required data, responsibilities and a concrete plan.
DEADLINE FOR SELECTED BATTERIES
18 February 2027
The battery passport obligation begins.
WHY START EARLY
Creating the QR code is quick.
The source data takes preparation.
From 18 February 2027, every LMT battery, every EV battery and every industrial battery with a capacity above 2 kWh placed on the market or put into service in the EU must have a battery passport. [1]
Don't wait until the shipment is ready. We start with the battery category, your company's role and the data you already have from the manufacturer.
Light means of transportE-bikes, e-scooters and other corresponding batteries.
Industry and storageIndustrial batteries with a capacity greater than 2 kWh.
Electric vehiclesEV batteries as defined by the Regulation.
Other batteries also have QR code and information requirements, but not automatically the same full passport. We assess the specific scope; the passport does not replace the battery's conformity assessment. [1]
NON-BINDING GUIDE
Basic orientation by category.
Guidance for batteries placed on the market or put into service from 18 February 2027. The selected category does not replace product classification and verification of exemptions.
Start with a category.
We will show the basic difference between a full passport and other QR information.
This is not a legal assessment or confirmation of conformity.
MORE THAN A LABEL
What the passport means in practice.
The right access
Public information and restricted data. Access based on legal entitlements, not on marketing consent.
Updates and responsibility
The passport has to be maintained. The platform does not replace the responsibility of the relevant economic operator or the conformity assessment.
MORE THAN AN OBLIGATION
The battery passport is just the start.
The value continues after the sale.
We are designing a single environment for mandatory information and everyday work. Customers find the manual. Service gets the context. Your team knows what was approved.
Data and documents
- Identity of the model and the specific battery
- Documentation and approved versions
- Permissions by type of information
Use in practice
- Installation, manuals and maintenance
- Service requests and history
- Inspections and product handover

BEFORE WE PREPARE AN OFFER
Important boundaries.
Does the 2 kWh threshold also apply to e-bikes?
No. The threshold of more than 2 kWh in Art. 77 applies to industrial batteries. LMT batteries and EV batteries are listed separately.
Do SLI batteries or power banks also need a full passport?
Not automatically. For other batteries, we distinguish the requirements for the QR code and the information to be made available from the full passport under Art. 77.
What about batteries already placed on the market?
What matters is the specific moment of placing on the market or putting into service, and the role of the operator. The date of manufacture or each subsequent sale is not automatically the decisive date. We will assess the supply chain.
Are all data mandatory for all categories?
No. We verify the specific scope and applicability according to the Regulation, the related rules, the battery category and its use.
Legal basis
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, in particular Art. 13, 77, 78 and Annex XIII. The content is based on the supplied draft and the verified wording of these provisions. Overview as at 9 October 2026.
This is a general overview. We will verify specific applicability, exemptions and scope based on your products and your company's role. It is not an individual legal opinion.
