Get your batteries’ digital passport ready for February 2027.
Tell us what you sell and we will tell you whether it applies, what is missing and where to start.
Mandatory from 18 February 2027 for electric vehicle batteries, e-bike and e-scooter batteries, and industrial batteries above 2 kWh.
What matters is the information behind it. The QR code is just the end.
Every battery in scope will have a digital record that opens with a QR code. Getting there takes four steps:
Your data
What the battery is made of, how much energy it stores, how long it lasts and how it is taken apart and recycled.
Your proof
The documents behind each data point: test reports, certificates, declarations.
Your suppliers
Much of the data is held only by whoever makes the battery, such as its materials or origin. You need to ask them for it.
The record and its QR
With everything gathered, the record is published and the QR code goes on the battery.
If one piece is missing, the record is incomplete. We help you see what you have and what is missing.
Which batteries need a passport?
Car and electric vehicle batteries
Those that power the vehicle, whatever their capacity.
E-bike, e-scooter and light vehicle batteries
Whatever their capacity.
Industrial and energy storage batteries
Only above 2 kWh.
Who has to do it? Whoever sells the battery for the first time in the EU: usually the manufacturer or the importer.
Not a battery?Textiles, construction products, detergents and other products will have their own EU rules. Tell us what you sell and we will point you in the right direction.
Tell us about your case.
We reply by email with whether it applies to you and where to start. The more you tell us, the more useful our answer.
