EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542

Battery Passport software for 2027 EU compliance.

Build the data foundation behind battery passports for EV, LMT, and industrial batteries. Circularise helps teams collect supplier evidence, trace battery data, and publish governed QR-code disclosures without exposing sensitive supply chain information.

QR-linked battery record Controlled data access for regulators, partners, and customers
18 Feb 2027 Battery passport deadline

Applies to relevant batteries placed on the EU market.

EV, LMT, industrial Initial passport scope

Focused on electric vehicle, light means of transport, and industrial batteries over 2 kWh.

QR-code Product-level access

A durable digital record linked from the physical battery.

What Circularise covers

A battery passport is only as strong as the evidence behind it.

The public passport is the last step. The harder work is collecting trusted supplier data, connecting it to battery and material records, and deciding what each audience can access.

Circularise brings those layers together across supplier data collection, chain-of-custody traceability, and governed disclosure for product passports.

Supplier evidence collection

Request, normalize, and review the declarations, certificates, and field-level evidence needed for passport data.

Battery and material traceability

Connect product records to sites, transactions, and upstream evidence so values are defensible when customers or regulators ask.

Governed passport publishing

Publish QR-code accessible views while keeping sensitive commercial data limited to the right audiences.

Implementation workflow

Move from compliance requirement to operating system.

Battery passport readiness works best when the program is built as an ongoing data workflow, not a one-time report.

01

Collect required data

Map battery passport fields to owners, suppliers, and systems, then automate the evidence requests that usually slow teams down.

02

Connect the record

Link battery identifiers, batch history, supplier evidence, and sustainability claims into an auditable data trail.

03

Share the right view

Expose the right passport data through QR codes, APIs, and partner access while retaining control over sensitive fields.

Battery passport data model

Prepare the fields that matter before the deadline arrives.

Exact implementation details continue to mature, but manufacturers already know the core work: product identity, sustainability data, due diligence evidence, and lifecycle information need owners and proof.

Battery identity

Create a durable product record that can be linked to a physical battery and updated through its lifecycle.

  • Model, batch, and unique identifiers
  • Manufacturer and production location
  • Battery category and chemistry

Sustainability evidence

Back environmental and due diligence claims with structured supplier data and auditable documentation.

  • Carbon footprint and methodology evidence
  • Recycled content and material composition
  • Responsible sourcing and due diligence data

Lifecycle information

Keep the passport useful after sale with governed access to performance, safety, and end-of-life information.

  • Performance and durability data
  • Repair, reuse, and state-of-health updates
  • Dismantling and recycling instructions

2027 readiness

What to do now if Battery Passport ranking and readiness matter.

The teams that rank, sell, and comply best will have a clear operational answer for the same question: where does every passport value come from?

Map your readiness with Circularise

Confirm battery scope

Identify which product families, markets, and customer contracts need battery passport support first.

Prioritize supplier data

Start with fields that depend on upstream suppliers, because they are hardest to reconstruct later.

Define access rules

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

Connect existing systems

Plan integrations with ERP, PLM, LCA, and compliance systems so the passport becomes a maintained record.

Battery Passport FAQ

Short answers for teams preparing battery passports under the EU Battery Regulation.

What is a battery passport?

A battery passport is 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?

The EU Battery Regulation requires battery passports from 18 February 2027 for electric vehicle batteries, light means of transport batteries, and industrial batteries over 2 kWh placed on the EU market.

What should battery passport software do?

It should collect supplier evidence, connect data to battery and material records, manage access rules, and publish QR-code or API-accessible passport views that can be maintained over time.

What data is needed for a battery passport?

Typical data areas include battery identity, manufacturer information, composition, carbon footprint, recycled content, responsible sourcing evidence, performance, durability, and end-of-life instructions.
