Units instead of models
The battery passport applies per unit with serial number — one data sheet becomes thousands of passports with state and lifecycle data. That breaks Excel.
Industry solution
The battery passport comes with a fixed date
From 18 February 2027, industrial batteries above 2 kWh, EV traction batteries and LMT batteries (e.g. e-bike packs) need a digital battery passport — per unit. Passenta turns this into a plannable process.
Where your industry stands
Mandatory from 18.02.2027The EU Battery Regulation sets the date: 18 February 2027. Affected is whoever places such batteries on the EU market — including importers and bicycle manufacturers with purchased packs. The passport applies per unit, reachable via a QR code on the battery. Parts of the due-diligence duties were postponed to 2027 by the omnibus regulation; the passport date remained unchanged.
As of July 2026. Regulatory information summarised to the best of our knowledge — not legal advice; the EU legal texts prevail.
What the industry is dealing with
Supplier data from Asia
Cell chemistry, carbon footprint, recycled content: the core data sits with the cell manufacturer — who rarely sits in the EU and rarely answers in German.
Responsibility with the placer on the market
Even those who only buy and install packs, or import them, carry the passport duty. Many affected companies don't know yet — the deadline applies anyway.
What Passenta takes over
Battery field catalogue
Passenta ships an industry profile along the regulation: chemistry, capacity, carbon footprint, recycled content, safety and dismantling information — field by field, with a gap report.
Passports per unit
Units with serial numbers derive from models; every passport gets its GS1-format QR code and remains traceable as a signed version.
Connect cell suppliers
Requests to cell and module manufacturers run via link — no account, 24 EU languages, with reminders. Answers are reviewed before adoption, not blindly copied.
EU registry prepared
Passport identifiers are created in the registry format; the submission file comes at a click. We went through the economic operator registration ourselves — that hands-on knowledge is built into the product.
Industry profile available in Passenta — field catalogue included.
- Signed, immutable passport versions
- Supplier collaboration in all 24 official EU languages
- Transparent pricing — no sales call required
Frequently asked questions
Which batteries need a passport from 2027?
Industrial batteries above 2 kWh, EV traction batteries and batteries for light means of transport (LMT), such as e-bike packs — each per unit, when placed on the EU market from 18.02.2027.
I only install packs I purchase — does this affect me?
Yes, in many constellations. Whoever places the battery on the EU market — including importers or own-brand sellers — is responsible. Clarify your role early; Passenta then structures the data collection from the cell manufacturer.
What about the EU registry?
Passports will have to be registered in the central EU registry; the registry launches in stages. Passenta already creates identifiers in the prescribed format and tracks the registration state per unit.
Isn't a PDF data sheet enough?
No. The battery passport is a machine-readable data set retrievable per unit with prescribed content and QR access — a PDF fulfils neither structure nor accessibility.
