Worum es geht

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured, machine-readable record of a product's key information — its identity, composition, performance and end-of-life data — reachable through a data carrier such as a QR code. The EU is rolling DPPs out product group by product group under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR), Arts. 9-14 (Digital Product Passport) · erfasst 2026-07-11

As of today the battery passport is the only DPP that has actually been adopted, so it is the one this module implements. From 18 February 2027 every LMT battery, every industrial battery over 2 kWh, and every electric-vehicle battery placed on the EU market must carry a battery passport.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 (Batteries Regulation), Art. 77(1) · erfasst 2026-07-11

The passport's content is fixed by law: Annex XIII lists the datapoints it must carry — from model and material composition through carbon footprint, state of health and recycling information. Some points are public, some are restricted to authorities and parties with a legitimate interest, and some are specific to each individual battery.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 77 + Annex XIII · erfasst 2026-07-11

Clearlane gets you battery-passport ready by proving your Annex XIII datapoints are present and well-formed, deterministically and with citations. The actual data-exchange format and any submission endpoint are gated: no harmonised standard for the passport's format has yet been cited in the Official Journal, so there is nothing official to serialise into yet.

Wer betroffen ist

The economic operator that places the battery on the EU market attributes its unique identifier and is responsible for keeping the passport accurate, complete and up to date. It may authorise another operator to act on its behalf, but the responsibility sits with it.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 77(3)-(4) · erfasst 2026-07-11

Scope is decided by battery category, not by customs code: LMT batteries, industrial batteries with a capacity above 2 kWh, and electric-vehicle batteries. The CN heading 8507 is only a customs-classification aid — knowing the HS code alone does not tell you whether a passport is required; the category does.

Wichtige Fristen

  1. 19. Juli 2026

    ESPR DPP registry

    Under the ESPR framework, the Commission must set up the central DPP registry — which stores at least the unique identifiers, including battery unique identifiers — by this date. The passport data itself stays decentralised with the operator.

    Quelle Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, Art. 13(1) · erfasst 2026-07-11

  2. 18. August 2026

    Legitimate-interest access act

    An implementing act specifying who counts as having a 'legitimate interest' in the restricted passport data — and their access to it — is due by this date. Until it is adopted, the access tiers for restricted Annex XIII data are not yet fixed.

    Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 77(9) · erfasst 2026-07-11

  3. 18. Februar 2027

    Battery passport required

    From this date, each LMT battery, each industrial battery over 2 kWh, and each EV battery placed on the market or put into service must have a battery passport. This is the date the obligation switches on.

    Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 77(1) · erfasst 2026-07-11

  4. 18. Februar 2027

    QR marking obligation

    The same date carries the obligation to mark batteries with the QR code that acts as the passport's data carrier — the physical link between the battery and its digital record.

    Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 13(6) · erfasst 2026-07-11

Wie Compliance tatsächlich abläuft

  1. Datapoints

    The passport must carry the information catalogue Annex XIII sets out. The first step is to attach each battery product and capture its Annex XIII datapoints — the raw material of the passport.

    Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 77 + Annex XIII · erfasst 2026-07-11

  2. Validate

    Annex XIII fixes not just which datapoints exist but that they must be there. Validation runs the cited rule pack over each passport so any mandatory datapoint that is missing or malformed is caught before you rely on it.

    Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Annex XIII · erfasst 2026-07-11

  3. Completeness check

    The operator must keep the passport accurate, complete and up to date. The completeness pass captures a reproducible evidence bundle showing the passport carries every datapoint the law requires at the moment of placement.

    Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 77(3)-(4) · erfasst 2026-07-11

  4. Package

    'Ready' means the passport data is complete and packaged for the moment the battery is placed on the market from 18 Feb 2027. The data-exchange format itself is gated — no harmonised standard for it is yet cited in the Official Journal.

Glossar

Digital Product Passport (DPP)

A structured, machine-readable record of a product's key data, reached through a data carrier. Introduced as a framework by the ESPR and rolled out per product group.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, Arts. 9-14 · erfasst 2026-07-11

Battery passport

The DPP for batteries — the only DPP adopted so far. Required for LMT, industrial (>2 kWh) and EV batteries from 18 Feb 2027.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 77 · erfasst 2026-07-11

Annex XIII

The legal catalogue of what the battery passport must contain: public points, restricted points, test reports and per-battery points. It is the single source of truth for the module's rules.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Annex XIII · erfasst 2026-07-11

LMT battery

A battery for light means of transport — e-bikes, e-scooters and similar. One of the three categories that require a passport, regardless of capacity.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 3(11) + Art. 77(1) · erfasst 2026-07-11

Industrial battery (>2 kWh)

An industrial battery with a capacity greater than 2 kWh. The 2 kWh threshold applies only to this category — below it, an industrial battery needs no passport.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 3(13) + Art. 77(1) · erfasst 2026-07-11

EV battery

An electric-vehicle battery. In scope for a passport regardless of capacity, alongside LMT and industrial (>2 kWh) batteries.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 3(14) + Art. 77(1) · erfasst 2026-07-11

Unique identifier

The identifier the economic operator attributes to the battery, linking the physical unit to its passport record and to the ESPR central registry.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 77(3); Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, Art. 12 · erfasst 2026-07-11

Data carrier (QR marking)

The QR code the battery must carry from 18 Feb 2027, through which the passport is reached. The physical bridge to the digital record.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 13(6) · erfasst 2026-07-11

Economic operator

The party that places the battery on the EU market. It attributes the unique identifier and is responsible for the passport being accurate, complete and up to date.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 77(3)-(4) · erfasst 2026-07-11

State of health

A per-battery datapoint describing the battery's current condition relative to new. Because it evolves in service, its absence at passport creation is flagged rather than treated as a hard failure.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Annex XIII Part 4(b) · erfasst 2026-07-11

Legitimate interest

The basis on which certain parties may access the restricted parts of the passport. Exactly who qualifies is to be set by an implementing act due 18 Aug 2026, not yet adopted.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 77(9) · erfasst 2026-07-11

ESPR registry

The central EU registry, set up under the ESPR framework, that stores at least the unique identifiers (including battery identifiers). The passport data itself stays decentralised with the operator.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, Art. 13(1) · erfasst 2026-07-11

Was passiert, wenn nicht

The obligation is a condition of market access: from 18 February 2027, each LMT battery, each industrial battery over 2 kWh, and each EV battery placed on the market or put into service must have a battery passport. A battery in scope without one cannot lawfully be placed on the EU market.

Quelle Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Art. 77(1) · erfasst 2026-07-11

Placement is not a one-time snapshot: the economic operator must keep the passport accurate, complete and up to date for the life of the obligation. A passport that is missing mandatory Annex XIII datapoints does not discharge the duty.
