Battery passports, no compliance team needed
We have turned the EU passport requirements into a form for each battery category. Fill it in once per model, see what is still missing, then publish and print QR codes that never change.

Who needs a battery passport
From 18 February 2027 each of these batteries needs its own passport before it is placed on the EU market or put into service.
≤ 25 kg
Light means of transport (LMT) batteries
Sealed batteries up to 25 kg that power e-bikes, e-scooters, electric unicycles and other light vehicles.
> 2 kWh
Industrial batteries above 2 kWh
Including stationary energy storage – home and grid batteries, UPS and telecom.
EV
Electric vehicle batteries
Traction batteries of cars, vans, buses and trucks – and of L-category vehicles when the battery weighs more than 25 kg.
The obligation lies with whoever places the battery on the EU market – the manufacturer, or the importer for batteries made outside the EU. It covers batteries built into products too, such as the battery in an imported e-scooter (Art. 2(1)). There is no exemption for small companies. From the same date every other battery must carry a QR code – the platform covers those with QR pages.
Which one are you?
The obligation lies with whoever places the battery on the EU market. What you do on the platform depends on where you stand.
- For EU manufacturersYou make batteries in the EU and place them on the market.How it works for you
- For manufacturers outside the EUPrepare each passport once. The operator that places the battery on the EU market pays – your importers, or you if you choose.How it works for you
- For importersYour manufacturers prepare the passports; you confirm and pay for what you place on the market.How it works for you
- For brand ownersMade by someone else, sold under your name: you are the manufacturer.How it works for you
How it works
Four steps. Nothing is published while a mandatory field is missing.
- 1
Register and authorise
Register your company and sign the pre-filled authorisation under Art. 77(4). We check every company before it can publish.
- 2
Describe each model
Fill in each model once. The form shows what your category requires and the article behind every field, and lists what is still missing.
- 3
Add serial numbers, print QR codes
Import serial numbers by CSV or API, or generate a range. Print QR label sheets – every code points to a permanent address.
- 4
Publish and keep it current
Each version is signed and copied to an independent backup. Authorities, repairers and recyclers see the restricted data their role allows, and every access is logged.
The platform, as you will use it
A recording of the real platform with demo data – what you see after registration.
What you get
The passport is the core. Around it: QR pages for your other batteries, the documents authorities ask for, and the battery's later life.
- A
Battery passport
For LMT, industrial above 2 kWh and EV batteries: forms per category, serial numbers, QR labels, a public page with access levels, version history, a DPP API following EN 18222 and the registration file for the EU registry.
- B
QR pages for all other batteries
Portable, SLI and industrial batteries up to 2 kWh need no passport, but from 18 February 2027 they need a QR code to their label information, EU declaration and waste information. Same forms, same signed versions.
- C
Compliance assistants
Battery labels, EU declaration of conformity, packaging under Regulation (EU) 2025/40, market surveillance dossier, carbon footprint and due diligence records, a compliance calendar and a portal where your suppliers fill in their data. On Business and Enterprise.
- D
The battery's later life
State of health and repairs recorded through the API by your systems or authorised repairers, status changes, recycling, and a new passport linked to the original after repurposing or remanufacturing (Art. 77(7)).
- E
Onboarding service
Prefer not to do it yourselves? We load your models, serial numbers and documents for you – priced separately, on request.
Article 78, point by point
Article 78 sets how a battery passport must be kept: access by role, integrity, security, and availability even after the company behind it stops trading. This is how the platform meets each point.

- Article 78(a): Interoperable – the same address returns JSON, the data schema is public and the DPP API follows EN 18222.
- Article 78(b): Access by level – the public part opens without sign-in; authorities, repairers and recyclers get restricted levels after verification, and every access is logged.
- Article 78(c): Stored on your behalf – we store and publish the data as the service provider you authorise in writing (Art. 77(4)); responsibility stays with you, and you can withdraw the authorisation.
- Article 78(d): Your data stays yours – we never sell it, re-use it or process it beyond running the service.
- Article 78(e): Available after you stop – every version is copied to an independent backup provider.
- Article 78(f): Rights by role – only your company's owner publishes, editors prepare, and two-factor authentication is on for every user by default.
- Article 78(g): Integrity – every version carries a SHA-256 checksum and an Ed25519 signature, with public keys anyone can check.
- Article 78(h): Security – hosted in the EU, each company's data isolated in the database itself, and no personal data in any passport.
- Leave any time – full export with every signed version, passport addresses that redirect to your new provider, and no switching fees (Data Act).
What we do, and what stays with you
No software makes a company compliant on its own. This is where the line runs.
The platform
- Asks for the data Annex XIII requires for your category and names the article behind each field.
- Blocks publishing while a mandatory field is missing or the data does not match the schema.
- Hosts, signs, versions and backs up every passport.
- Gives authorities, repairers and recyclers the access their role allows.
Your company
- The accuracy of the data – the Regulation keeps that with the company placing the battery on the market (Art. 77(4)).
- Everything outside the passport: CE marking and conformity assessment, the labels on the battery, producer registration in each country where you sell.
On Business, the compliance assistants help you prepare labels, the EU declaration of conformity, the market surveillance dossier and your registrations – the decisions stay yours.

Questions before you start
We import e-scooters or e-bikes with the battery inside. Is the passport our job?
Yes. The Regulation also covers batteries built into vehicles and appliances, and the passport is the duty of whoever places the battery on the EU market – for imports, the importer. You can authorise a service provider such as us to keep the passport for you, but the responsibility for the data stays with your company.
Is using the platform enough to be compliant?
It covers the passport: the platform asks for the data Annex XIII requires for your category, blocks publishing while a mandatory field is missing, and hosts, signs and backs up every version. The accuracy of the data stays with your company (Art. 77(4)), and so do obligations outside the passport – CE marking and conformity assessment, the labels on the battery and producer registration in each country where you sell. On Business, the compliance assistants help you prepare those documents.
Who can see our data? Can other companies on the platform?
The public part is what the Regulation makes public. Everything else – drafts, restricted fields, your serial numbers before publication – is isolated per company in the database itself; other companies on the platform cannot see it. We never sell your data, re-use it or process it beyond running the service (Art. 78(d)). Passports contain no personal data.
What happens if we stop paying?
Your account moves to the Free plan: nothing is deleted, and you can keep creating passports within the Free plan's limits or choose a plan again. Passports above the Free plan carry a monthly hosting fee; what happens while an invoice stays unpaid is set out in the terms (7.8–7.9).
Can we leave and take our data with us?
Yes, at any time. You download a full archive – models, serial numbers, every published version with its checksum and signature, documents and the public key to verify them. When you move, your passport addresses redirect to the new provider once it confirms. There are no switching fees.
What if Battery Compliance itself stops operating?
Every passport version is kept with an independent backup provider. Our terms commit us, if our business ends, to hand your data to you or to a provider you name – your permanent addresses can then redirect there.
