THE HAGUE, Netherlands, 10 February 2026 – Circularise today announces its acceptance as a Supporting Partner in BatteryPass-Ready, a pre-competitive project supporting industry and SMEs in implementing battery passports by delivering a test system and guidance.
BatteryPass-Ready is developing a test environment that reflects real-world needs and supports EU Battery Passport implementation. The project focuses on validating data completeness and plausibility, verifying system functions, consistency and interoperability, and providing guidance for policy and implementers, including options for an operating model for the test system.
Turning battery passport requirements into a testable reality
Battery passports are not just a data model, they are a multi-system handshake. BatteryPass-Ready is designed to address key challenges in the Digital Product Passport ecosystem, including high system complexity, tight timelines for technical standards, and the need for frequent validation as specifications evolve.
The test environment is intended to support early validation before large-scale implementation, safeguard interoperability across different systems, and improve implementation confidence through continuous collaboration and iterative improvement.
What Circularise will contribute as a supporting partner
Supporting Partners help keep the project grounded in implementation constraints and day-to-day operational realities. In this role, Circularise will contribute through:
- Technical and domain expertise in digital product passports and data management
- Industry insights and user feedback to validate test scenarios against real-world needs
- Participation in case studies or test groups to guide outputs and usability
- Collaboration, networking and outreach to support ecosystem-wide engagement and adoption
“Battery passports will only work at scale if the underlying data and systems can talk to each other reliably, without compromising business confidentiality,” said Jordi de Vos, Co-Founder of Circularise. “BatteryPass-Ready is an important step towards practical interoperability. It gives the ecosystem a structured way to test what works, find what breaks, and fix it before rollout pressure hits.”
A practical boost for battery passport readiness
Circularise’s role in BatteryPass-Ready aligns with the company’s focus on making product and supplier data verifiable, usable, and secure across complex value chains. By contributing real-world implementation experience, Circularise aims to help the project strengthen how battery passport data can be collected across tiers, validated for quality, and exchanged between systems in a way that supports interoperability, auditability, and operational efficiency.
As battery passport requirements evolve, testing and validation become a moving target. Circularise’s contribution will focus on reducing friction for implementers by helping ensure the test environment reflects the realities of the battery passport lifecycle, system integration, and the day-to-day constraints that determine whether a passport programme succeeds in practice.
