Implementing your Battery Passport
Battery Passport Implementation at P6, with cell suppliers as integrated partners
P6, based in Croatia, is a growing company. It builds batteries, not cells. One battery in its portfolio has a capacity above 2 kWh, which makes it subject to the passport obligation. From 18 February 2027, every industrial battery above 2 kWh placed on the EU market needs a digital Battery Passport under the Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.
For Battery Passport Implementation, though, it isn't enough to look at your own data alone. Data from cell suppliers is needed too.
The pack manufacturer's problem: the data doesn't sit with them alone
A Battery Passport requires details that can't be sourced without the cell supplier. This includes the material and chemical composition, as well as the recycled content share.
The carbon footprint adds another layer. Cells and their materials make up one of the largest shares of that footprint, alongside the emissions from P6's own manufacturing.
So part of the passport data doesn't originate at P6 at all, it sits further up the supply chain. Such details are typically gathered by email, spreadsheet, or on request. For a single product, that's still manageable by hand. Across several cell types, several suppliers, and recurring batches, the coordination effort grows faster than the business itself.
How P6 approaches Battery Passport Implementation
For its Battery Passport, P6 relies on SecIdent. The platform brings the relevant attributes and the structure behind them, and cell suppliers can be brought in through their own partner accounts. This lets suppliers be integrated into the process without P6 having to become the interface between systems. Access to view or enter data remains fully within P6's control.
The features behind it, at a glance
Attribute list per DIN DKE SPEC 99100: SecIdent comes with the full catalogue of required attributes. Values can be entered directly, without having to research which details the passport requires.
Flexible level assignment: Every attribute comes with a recommended level, model, batch, or item. That recommendation is a sensible starting point, not a fixed rule. Depending on the production process and supply chain, it can make sense to assign individual attributes differently, and SecIdent allows exactly that.
Landing page as a template: The page behind the QR code is provided as a ready template and can be adapted to your own corporate design. The effort largely comes down to entering your own values.
Partner accounts for cell suppliers: Cell suppliers can be brought in through their own accounts and can enter their data, such as cell chemistry or origin, directly into the attributes intended for it.
Multi-level authorization concept: P6 defines which partner can view or edit which attributes at which level. Commercially sensitive information or another supplier's data stays out of reach.
Workflows instead of a system change: Data exchange runs through configurable workflows, regardless of which system the supplier uses internally. Neither side ends up with an integration project of its own.
What this changes
A one-off data request can turn into a recurring process, one that covers not just the current Battery Passport but future batches and models as well.
For a growing company, that's more than a convenience. It's the difference between an effort that grows with every new supplier and one that scales alongside the business.
For companies facing the same task
P6's situation isn't unusual. Any pack manufacturer placing an industrial, LMT, or electric vehicle battery on the EU market faces the same question. How do supplier data reach the passport in a structured, current, and access-controlled way, without turning into a permanent manual coordination task?
SecIdent doesn't answer that with a one-off integration, but with an ongoing collaboration structure that works regardless of a partner's size or systems.
Feel free to get in touch so your suppliers' data can flow into your Battery Passport, structured and up to date.
