What applies when

  1. 19 Jul 2026 The Commission must have set up the EU registry for digital product passports Applies now · ESPR Art. 13(1)
  2. 12 Aug 2026 PPWR applies: declaration and technical documentation per packaging type Applies now · PPWR Art. 39 and 71; Annexes VII-VIII
  3. 27 Sep 2026 Ban on generic environmental claims towards consumers Applies now · Directive (EU) 2024/825

Why start now

The deadline is fixed, but the work comes before it. Most of what the battery passport requires has to come from your suppliers.

  1. The data sits with your suppliers

    Chemistry, capacity, performance, critical raw materials and dismantling information come from the cell and battery supplier. Getting it all in and checked takes time, especially with several suppliers.

  2. The QR code goes on the battery

    From 18 Feb 2027 every battery needs a QR code (Art. 13(6)). For batteries with a passport it leads to the passport. Only where that is not possible or not warranted on account of the nature and size of the battery may it go on the packaging and accompanying documents (Art. 13(7)). Labelling and production therefore have to be planned before the deadline.

  3. The same basis for the next requirements

    According to the Commission, all digital product passports will use the same underlying technical system, whatever law they come from. So much of what you build for the battery passport can be reused when requirements for other products arrive.

Supplier portal

No more "Re: Re: Re: data sheet?"

Most of what the battery passport needs sits with your suppliers. Instead of emails back and forth, each supplier gets one link and uploads straight to you.

  • One link per supplier. They do not need an account.
  • Suppliers see only the fields and documents you asked for.
  • You see at once who has answered and who is still missing.
