What Circularise covers

A battery passport is only as strong as its evidence

The public passport is the last step. The hard part is trusted supplier data, linked records and deciding what each audience can see.

Supplier evidence collection

Request, normalise and review declarations, certificates and field-level evidence.

Battery and material traceability

Link product records to sites, transactions and upstream evidence so values hold up.

Governed passport publishing

Publish QR-code views and keep sensitive commercial data to the right audiences.

Implementation workflow

From compliance requirement to operating system

Run your battery passport as an ongoing data workflow, not a one-time report.

Battery passport data model

Prepare the fields before the deadline

Details are still maturing, but the core is clear: identity, sustainability, due diligence and lifecycle data need owners and proof.

2027 readiness

Four things to settle first

Start with supplier data: it is the one thing you cannot reconstruct later.

Map your readiness
  1. 01

    Confirm battery scope

    Which product families, markets and customer contracts need a passport first.

  2. 02

    Prioritise supplier data

    Upstream fields are the hardest to reconstruct later.

  3. 03

    Define access rules

    Separate public, partner, customer and regulator views before data reaches a QR code.

  4. 04

    Connect existing systems

    Integrate ERP, PLM, LCA and compliance systems so the passport stays maintained.

Battery Passport FAQ

What is a battery passport?

A digital record linked to a physical battery. It makes product, sustainability, due diligence, performance and lifecycle information accessible to the right audiences.

When do EU battery passports become mandatory?

From 18 February 2027 for EV batteries, light means of transport batteries and industrial batteries over 2 kWh placed on the EU market.

What should battery passport software do?

Collect supplier evidence, connect it to battery and material records, manage access rules, and publish QR-code or API passport views that stay maintained.

What data is needed for a battery passport?

Typically battery identity, manufacturer, composition, carbon footprint, recycled content, responsible sourcing evidence, performance, durability and end-of-life instructions.

What happens to the battery passport when a battery is repurposed or remanufactured?

A battery that is prepared for reuse, repurposed or remanufactured must receive a new battery passport linked to the original passport or passports. Responsibility for maintaining the new passport transfers to the economic operator placing the modified battery on the market or putting it into service.
