DIN-compliant battery passport

Experience the digital battery passport.

With SecIdent, companies can reliably implement the requirements of the EU Battery Directive. SecIdent can be easily integrated into existing processes, stores all information about attributes, and enables data to be output automatically as needed. When applying type labels including the battery passport QR code, SecIdent can communicate directly with existing production and printing systems on request, thus minimizing the implementation effort.

Scan the QR code or follow the link to view an example of a battery passport that can be created with SecIdent. The battery passport complies with DIN DKE SPEC 99100, which defines the requirements for data attributes.

DPP Workshop

Easy to understand, ready to use – with or without SecIdent

Focus on pragmatic, robust implementation that is future-proof and can be expanded iteratively.

  • Kick-off-Workshop (2 hours, remote or on-site) Specifications and deadlines, coordination of products and processes, priorities and objectives
  • Data analysis
    Required or recommended static/dynamic attributes. Data sources.
  • Implementation guide
    Selection of data carriers and content, system and access concept, integration into production
  • Optional: DPP prototype and integration check
    First DPP with SecIdent and free, preliminary feasibility analysis

The results make it easier for you to implement or make an informed choice of a DPP provider, regardless of SecIdent.

Demo and Onboarding SecIdent

Get started right away and put it into practice

If you are considering SecIdent as your DPP provider, we will set up demo access for you in our test environment. You can then try out the implementation of the digital product passport on your own or together with one of our specialists.

You can initially test SecIdent as an isolated system or integrate it directly into the production and QA process. Upon request, we would be pleased to take care of planning the iterative rollout.

Fulfilling obligations, generating added value

You have to do it?
Then you should also benefit from it!

The introduction of a battery passport is often perceived as a bureaucratic burden. When implemented correctly, however, it offers great potential, providing manufacturers with valuable information and strengthening customer loyalty.

Involvement of partners and customers: The battery passport creates new touchpoints with customers. It can be used to provide targeted content such as installation instructions, test reports, technical data, application tips, videos, and cross-selling offers. Product passports with SecIdent enable the targeted delivery of relevant information to different market participants.

Market analysis and product improvements: SecIdent provides manufacturers with insights into how and where their products are actually being used, which models are proving themselves in practice, and where there is room for improvement. Every scan is documented and localized in SecIdent, allowing strategic conclusions to be drawn from this data.

Traceability: SecIdent enables the tamper-proof serialization of each unit, ensuring complete traceability of products, batches, or individual items and their components and process history. This facilitates audits and is ideal for rapid recall processes.

EVs, LMTs, and Industry

For which products?

The battery passport must generally be implemented for the following batteries and rechargeable batteries from 2 kWh. In particular in the following product categories:

Electric vehicles (EVs) > 25 kg

Batteries for powering hybrid or electric vehicles

  • Class L vehicles, if they weigh more than 25 kg

  • Class M, N, or O vehicles

Light transport vehicles (LTVs) ≤ 25 kg

Wheeled vehicles that can be powered solely by an electric motor or by a combination of motor and muscle power, including class L vehicles, e.g., e-bikes and e-scooters.

Industrial storage ≤ 25 kg

  • Specially designed for industrial purposes or

  • intended for reuse or reuse for industrial purposes after preparation, or

  • Batteries > 5 kg (no LMT, EV, or SLI batteries)

Manufacturers, importers

Who is responsible?

The economic operator who places the battery on the market or puts it into service in the EU must also provide the battery passport.

What about device manufacturers?

This depends on whether the built-in battery is also marketed independently by the manufacturer in the EU. As a rule, it will already be equipped with a battery passport, which must remain visible.

What about importers?

Importers who place a battery on the EU market are subject to the same requirements as if they were the manufacturer.

What does commissioning mean?

This applies to batteries that are not placed on the market directly or installed. Rather, it applies to those that are installed directly and used for personal use, for example. These must also have a battery passport.

February 18, 2027

What are the deadlines?

As the first implementation of the digital product passport at EU level, the battery passport must be implemented promptly.

February 18, 2027

Article 77 of the EU Battery Regulation stipulates that batteries must carry a digital battery passport from February 18, 2027.

Will it really happen that way?

Yes, perhaps not entirely. Key organizational and technical issues remain unresolved, particularly with regard to role-based read and write access. It is currently doubtful that these sub-functions will be clarified and implemented by the beginning of 2027.

Are there penalties for being late?

The type and level of penalties are not determined by the EU, but by its member states. It can at least be assumed that batteries subject to a passport requirement without a passport will be subject to market restrictions from February 18, 2027.
