Introduction of the battery passport

Are you affected by the introduction of the battery passport?

The Battery Passport is coming and will affect many companies in the battery industry. Find out if your company needs to take action.

From 18 February 2027, manufacturers, importers and distributors of certain types of batteries will be legally required to provide a digital battery passport. Without this passport, these batteries will not be permitted to be placed on the EU market.

A digital battery passport records a battery's entire life cycle (from manufacture to use to recycling), ensuring transparency, sustainability, and traceability.

Are you affected?

Refer to the overview below to find out if your products are subject to the battery passport requirement.

Are you a manufacturer, importer or distributor of light means of transport, electric vehicle or industrial batteries? If so, you will be required to attach battery passports by 2027.

Don't wait — take action now!

The introduction of the battery passport requires clearly structured product, serial number and sustainability data throughout the entire value chain. As this involves consolidating extensive information from your company and suppliers, it is important to take action early. This is the only way to reliably avoid time pressure, compliance risks and the risk of losing sales.

When doing so, we consider not only the regulatory requirements, but also your existing processes, systems and data sources. Our focus is on integrating the battery passport into your organisation in a way that allows for sustainable use, rather than creating additional effort.
